Officers from Partick police office carried out the operation, executing eight warrants and recovering £782 worth of stolen property, which has since been returned to its rightful owners. Seven charges of theft by shoplifting were brought during the week-long effort. Sergeant Harrod of the Partick Community Policing Team said:"Theft by shoplifting is not a victimless crime and violence towards retail workers will not be tolerated." "We would like to thank the staff and security on the shop floors for their cooperation and we will continue to work hard to tackle retail offences in the West End".
