The police 'can't be everywhere', said Chris Philip.

yesterday, Chris Philip called on the public and shop security guards to intervene when it is safe to do so.: ‘I would also just remind everyone that the wider public, including shop staff and security guards, do have the power of citizen’s arrest.

‘While I want the faster and better police response they can’t be everywhere so I would still think about stores setting that up in some cases.’ Police have faced accusations from politicians for not doing enough to curb shoplifting all while inflation sends household costs soaring ‘Rather than offering serious suggestions to get police back on the beat, the minister is inviting even more violence against shop workers by calling for citizen’s arrests, while making pie-in-the-sky promises about databases when the Tories have still failed to upgrade the police national computer which is 50 years old,’ he said.
