    Another tool in the police toolbox - for cracking down on crime


    A retail crime prevention advocate says he's happy with proposed law sentencing changes.

    The Government's confirmed proposals to increase penalties for shoplifting - including infringement fees, a new "aggravated theft" offence, and prison sentences.
