Woman accused of multiple shoplifting incidents in Walsall

Sara Woodward, aged 28, from Coseley, has been charged with 19 shoplifting incidents between June 18 and October 15 this year.

She appeared at Walsall Magistrates Court last Thursday and is due to appear in court next year.

Walsall Local Policing Area (LPA) recently launched Operation Marigold in an effort to tackle shoplifting across the borough.

Local police officers regularly work with companies to prevent theft from shops.

There is also now a new problem solving team in place to tackle issues within Walsall LPA.

The issues include shoplifting, anti-social behavior and investigating civil intervention orders to prevent further offenses and reduce crime in our communities.
