Good morning, Southampton North,

Your local Neighbourhood Policing Teams from Portswood and Bitterne North joined forces with the Neighbourhood Enforcement Team yesterday (03/03/25), focusing on combating shoplifting offences on Portswood High Street, both in uniform and plain clothes.

We conducted several stop searches over the course of the day for drug offences and shoplifting. As a result, a number of individuals have been reported for summons for shoplifting, and the involved goods have been returned to the respective stores.

Keep an eye out for us and further messages regarding PACT meetings being held in the near future.

Thank you,

Southampton North NPT and Southampton Neighbourhood Enforcement Team
