Police have banned two "prolific shoplifters" from entering an entire street in Swansea. A 31-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man have been handed Community Protection Warnings for their persistent shoplifting and anti-social behaviour.
The warning is intended to deal with unreasonable, ongoing problems or nuisances which negatively affect a community’s quality of life, by targeting those responsible. They can direct that the individual responsible stops causing the problem and can require the person responsible to take reasonable steps to ensure it does not occur again, according to legislation.
The ban means they can no longer enter Woodfield Street in Morriston for the next six months. It comes after South Wales Police received a report of a "verbally aggressive shoplifter" at a pharmacy in the area. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
