Hertfordshire Police Chief Constable Charlie Hall reassured Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Ash-Edwards that there is no lower limit for the police to investigate shoplifting cases.

The force has procedures to address different types of shoplifters, including opportunists, prolific local thieves, and organized crime groups.
