The Metropolitan Police plans to use facial recognition technology going forward to try to identify and arrest London's most prolific shoplifters.So far, 149 suspects have been identified from 302 CCTV stills with some wanted for multiple offences.
The Met wrote to 12 leading London retailers asking for CCTV images of their top 30 unidentified offenders. Retail crime is responsible for the loss of an estimated £1.9bn in revenue in the capital each year, causing more than 1,000 reported cases of abuse and violence against staff annually, the Met say.Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said: "The results we've seen so far are game-changing. The use of facial recognition in this way could revolutionise how we investigate and solve crime."What's most powerful is what we've learned about those involved in this offending so far.
Earlier this year, the Met began to use the technology to arrest dangerous and predatory offenders of violence against women and girls. It showed that 100 offenders were responsible for a disproportionate amount of offences across the capital. Every suspect that was a match on the force's system had previously been arrested and taken into custody for crimes such as drug possession and supply, sexual offences, burglary, violence and firearms possession.
