“We’re actively running a shoplifting operation – Op Bastion, due to a recent rise in retail theft. Suspects have been identified, and we’re actively seeking them. They will be in custody soon,” police said.

A meeting was also held with housing officials to discuss problematic addresses and tenants causing issues for their neighbours.
