The Metropolitan Police have teamed up with major retailers to launch a coordinated crackdown against retail crime in the city. The move comes after a notable rise in theft incidents across London.
Meanwhile, detectives have used forensic DNA to trace relatives of a alleged double rapist in current investigations. In a separate matter, a woman received a Met payout after an officer-related case she reported. Additionally, new historical sex offence charges have been brought against Gary Glitter involving a juvenile victim.
