Police and retail crime specialists have been liaising for some time on how to deal with the gangs of roving shoplifters that plague GTA malls. Uniform officers have been increas- ing their presence with foot patrols, as well as building relationships on all levels with the mall management and staff since it opened in 2013. A plan to embed corporate loss pre- vention into police arrest teams was drafted by detectives from the Halton Regional Police 1 District Strategic Support Team. On June 10 and 11, officers from the District Response Unit and uni- form patrol changed into street clothes and took full advantage of the operational learning opportunity pre- sented by working in the mall with these loss prevention experts. Over the two-day period, four fe- males were arrested from various stores in the mall and charged with a variety of criminal offences. • Tamesha Nicola Duncan, 35, from Stayner, charged with theft un- der $5000. • Qiana Gillespie, 32, from Bramp- ton, charged with theft under $5000 and possession of stolen property. • Dawn Williams, 46, from Bramp- ton, charged with theft under $5000 and possession of stolen property. One other 43-year-old female ar- rested but revealed an outstanding immigrant warrant, and was released unconditionally to immigration offi- cers. Halton Regional Police say a good template for further cooperative po- lice operations in the mall has been a by-product of the two days and fur- ther joint operations are planned. Police add they will continue to have a visible and proactive presence at the Toronto Premium Outlets mall. Shoplifters nabbed at Premium Outlets
