Steal and Be Banned – Ystradgynlais traders warn off thieves

The neighbourhood policing team in Ystradgynlais have got together with local traders to set up a scheme call Steal and Be Banned.

SABB aims to target shoplifters in the locality and anyone found and prosecuted for the offence will not only be banned from the shop that the offence took place in but also all the other shops in Ystradgnylais that have joined the scheme.

“We have sixteen businesses that have signed up to the scheme so far,” said PCSO Dan Garnell. “Local businesses have welcomed the fact that something is being done and traders appreciate the scheme in being set up.

“Now we hope other businesses will come on board too.”

If anyone would like more information on how to join the scheme, PCSO Garnell can be contacted at Ystradgynlais police station on 101.
