DRUGS
On Saturday 12th June, 2010 the police ran an operation targeting drug use and supply in the City Centre. This coincided with Englands first World Cup game and it was estimated that there were over 10 000 people out in the Botchergate area on that night. Over 20 people were searched and 5 arrests made for drug related offences. Despite the large number of people there were only a handful of arrests for disorder.
ARRESTED FOR RETAIL THEFT
Sp far in June there have been 42 recorded retail thefts or 'shoplifting' offences. 21 were detected straightaway and the rest are under investigation. CarlisleCity Centre operates a Retailers Against Crime scheme where shops sign up to the scheme and then can either buy or rent a radio handset. This enables immediate contact with other shops, the police and CCTV. For further details please contact us.
