Are you considering a life of Crime on the Isle of Wight?

If so I suggest you re-consider… Officers from South Wight Neighbourhoods Policing Team were on plain clothes patrols this morning as part of Operation Suppress – which is an Island wide Police Operation designed to prevent and disrupt shoplifting and linked criminality!

Before mid-morning we intervened with a high value shoplifting from Morrison’s in Lake. Three males were arrested on suspicion of Shoplifting and going equipped to steal and all of the goods stolen were recovered for the store.

RPU Andy joined us and following a roadside drug drive test, one of the males was further arrested on suspicion of Drug Driving offences.

For good measure we seized the vehicle used in crime as well – which had items suspected to be used for committing dishonesty offences.

The three males remain in Police Custody at this time and plain clothes patrols will continue today and on various dates throughout the Festive Period – across the Isle of Wight!

Your Local Beat Bobbies, relentless pursuing criminals and ensuring the Island remains a safe place to live, work and visit!

All the Best

Sgt Sharland
