Operation Bastion Launched – Tackling Retail Crime in North Flintshire 

We're stepping up efforts to combat retail crime across North Flintshire through #OpBastion.

- Targeted patrols
- Increased police visibility
- Partnership with local retailers & Cheshire West and North Wales Business Crime

Sgt Dave Smith “We’ve seen an increase in retail crime in recent weeks. We’re finding that in most cases, offenders are either professional shoplifters or young people stealing for entertainment, and this won’t be tolerated. We will take positive action against those committing crime."
