Police chief mocked for telling store owners to call 999 if they see a shoplifter – because ‘officers don’t show up’
A police boss was called ‘out of contact’ because they told the tradesmen to inform the thieves – because civil servants usually could not emerge.
Avon and Somerset Police Vice President Jon Cummins advised store holders to turn 999 instead of fighting criminals.
However, civil servants do not regularly participate in the scene and replace them with an online report to the victims. They are usually ignored, leaving tradesmen vulnerable to crime.
Mr. Cummins told BBC: ‘If they see someone stealing, my advice to them is that they should call us. If they see, they should call us at 999 and should not intervene. ‘
Their comments clashed with the police and the criminal commissioner for Sussex, who said that there was no real purpose behind the arrest as the courts released them.
Katy Bourne told Daily Telegraph: ‘If there is no effective deterrence, there is no point in arrest of thefts.’
The lack of clarity about how to fight shops from the police left many shops in despair.
Somperset, 31 -year -old Samantha Baker, the owner of Refine & Design of the gift shop in Yeovil, said that Mail Cummins did not know how bad it was on Sunday.
He said: ‘If you call the police, they do not appear. Shocking. I pay my taxes to do the police work and they won’t. ‘

“ We have a long tradition of policing with Rıza in this country. This means that the police support the law and the common values of society.
