Surrey Shoplifting Ring Surrenders After Police Ultimatum 🚓

A shoplift gang who filled 857 trollies with £130,000 worth of stolen goods handed themselves in - after police wrote them all an ultimatum letter. The six thieves targeted dozens of shops and supermarkets across Surrey and other counties between January 2022 and February 2024.
CCTV footage captured them stuffing trollies to the brim with items - and brazenly leaving the stores after making no attempt to pay.
They stole everything from toilet roll and nappies to alcohol and cleaning products - before they sold them on at cut-down rates in "their very own criminal supermarket chain". But their persistent offending was unraveled when Surrey Police's PC Ben Marshall was allocated a shoplifting case from a Tesco in Guildford.
