Prolific Shoplifter Arrested !!

A busy afternoon - and some great teamwork by Manor Park & Little Ilford SNT - saw a prolific shoplifter taken off the streets.

PCSO Riley 7319NE & PCSO Richards 7130NE were out on bike patrols when they spotted the wanted man near Greenhill Grove E12.

His initial attempt to run off failed and he was apprehended.

PC Well 2253NE & PC Mohammed 2466NE arrested  him and he was swiftly taken off to custody.

The male is a prolific thief and a known escaper - the great observation skills and quick action by the PCSO's - and the follow up action by both PC's - has seen him taken off the streets.

Great teamwork !!
