    Local Priority - Lidl Thefts

    Lidl on Soho Road is a hotspot for shoplifting offences on the Soho ward. We are aware of this problem and are working with partners to address the issue.

We are proactively patrolling Waverhill park in conjunction with those partners, and we will look to prosecute repeat offenders and those who are disregarding the safety of our communities.

    Issued 05 August 2026

    Action taken:

    We have been conducting patrols in this area and working with partners to enforce civil orders and criminal prosecutions for offenders.
