Police spark shoplifting boom by not probing thefts under £200
Ministers have been privately accused by Britain's top retailers of helping fuel a sharp rise in shoplifting after it emerged that a £200 threshold for pursuing criminals has been quietly introduced.
Most police forces no longer attend reports of routine shop theft and will only send an officer to investigate if there has been a threat of violence against a member of staff. Those caught stealing less than £200 are now dealt with "by post", in the same way as speeders, leading to the effective decriminalisation of shoplifting.
