'There can be nothing more galling for a shopkeeper than seeing someone arrested for shoplifting yesterday walking past your shop today' - Sergeant Peter Rigby.
Officers say they have already made three 'notable arrests' with conditions on suspects' bail banning them from entering the town centre.
"So we are making it a condition of their bail that they are banned from Wellington while they wait for their court date to come. It has really worked." Police say that additional officers have been brought in over the Christmas period to provide a greater police presence and to prevent and identify persistent shoplifters who regularly target shops.
Sergeant Rigby added: “Wellington is going through real change at the moment and the way we police the town has had to evolve.
