Police Crack Down on Warwickshire Thieves
Inspector Simon Ryan, head of Warwick District Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “Myles and Fear are prolific offenders who stole hundreds of pounds worth of goods from shops across Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth. I hope this sends a clear message that shoplifting will not be tolerated in the area. We are working closely with businesses to identify offenders and bring them to justice.”
