The Metropolitan Police have teamed up with major retailers to launch a joint action plan against shoplifting and theft in the city. The move comes after a recent spike in theft incidents across London.
Meanwhile, detectives applied forensic DNA to identify relatives of a suspected double rapist in current investigations. In a separate matter, a woman received a Met payout after an officer-related case she reported. Additionally, fresh historical sex offence charges have been brought against Gary Glitter linked to a juvenile victim.
