WPS tries to stop shoplifting

The Windsor Police Service is working to deter shoplifting and is providing specific tactical and strategic enforcement.

Enforcement will help companies catch repeat offenders.

Deputy Chief Jason Crowley said many companies take a hands-off approach and many repeat offenders know this.

Crowley is calling on major retailers to reconsider their approach to theft.

“They have stores where you need your ID at the door or you can’t get in,” he said.

“These are things that are not present in some places in Ontario. It might be time to explore some of those things.”
