Kids are behind a new trend in shoplifting that is emerging in Nuneaton town centre.
There has been a focus on issues with shoplifting across the town, with an operation to look at a rise in crime at the Asda and B&M stores off Newtown Road.
But there are also emerging trends within the town centre itself, Inspector Ryan Walker, who heads up the county's business crime, told CoventryLive.
A contract for the new college campus in Nuneaton town centre has finally been signed.
Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College have been locked in talks over the campus off Abbey Street. for months.
The borough council owns the building, which includes a new restaurant, and the college will rent it.
Nuneaton police have put an action plan in place to tackle shoplifting at a Greggs store in Nuneaton town centre. There have been well known issues in stores across the country where thieves have brazenly helped themselves to armfulls of goods and walked out.
There was a high profile incident in neighbouring Coventry last year and Nuneaton is not immune to this. Police say that its Queens Road-based shop has been targeted by shoplifters.
Nuneaton and Bedworth Safer Neighbourhood Team Inspector Ryan Walker explained: "We are working with Greggs in the town, where we do see shoplifting."
