RETAIL union Usdaw warned today that a rise in shoplifting is driving an increase in violence against shopworkers across England and Wales.
Usdaw is concerned that police crime statistics show a significant increase in shoplifting across England and Wales in the 12 months to December 2022.
The Office for National Statistics figures show a 31 per cent increase across Wales, with Dyfed-Powys figures up 42 per cent.
