Six Arrested During Belfast Business Safety Week
Police investigating retail thefts in Belfast city centre arrested six people on Tuesday 10 November during Safer Business Week.
The Central Neighbourhood Policing Team detained five men aged between 22 and 48 and a 36-year-old woman on suspicion of offences including theft, criminal damage, possession of Class C controlled drugs and breach of an anti-social behaviour order.
Two men, aged 48 and 45, and the woman have been charged. One man was released on police bail, while the other two remained in custody at the time of the police statement.
Inspector Jackson said: "Our officers, supported by colleagues from Belfast Probationer Development Unit, made a number of arrests with five of those related to nine different retail thefts which impacted on six different businesses. One of the arrests was for breach of an anti-social behaviour order, which had been granted to prevent repeat nuisance behaviour by the individual arrested.
"As this is Safer Business Week, it is extremely prevalent for these arrests as our officers continue their ongoing work to make Belfast City Centre safer and support the local business community."
