RETAIL CRIME CROWNHILL Issued 13 May 2026	Our local team has been actively addressing shoplifting concerns in Crownhill Village. We have set up high visibility meetings and patrols within the CO OP and surrounding shops. Through regular patrols, close collaboration with store staff, and targeted visits, we have made significant progress in reducing theft in these areas. The introduction of the PARC scheme (Plymouth Against Retail Crime) is helping us strengthen these efforts, and we hope it will continue to reduce the shoplifting trend in the area. We remain committed to working with the community and local businesses. Actioned 13 May 2026
KIDS VAPING Issued 13 May 2026	Eggbuckland Neighbourhood team arranged a test purchasing op with the young Police cadets, targeting the local shops to ensure the correct challenge for ID procedures were being implemented. I am happy to say the under cover cadets failed at purchasing a vape and were asked for ID in every shop which is really positive. Actioned 13 May 2026
