A very informative Antrim Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting this week, covering #BusinessCrime with Police Service of Northern Ireland Crime Prevention Officer.

With Antrim Centre ward reporting the highest levels of theft from a shop in January, we received great robbery prevention tips from Stuart, along with key indicators of thieves, their techniques, tools of the trade and the powers that retailers have.

Excellent ideas coming out of the morning as to how the Chamber of Commerce could support retailers in #AntrimTown and its hinterlands

The first action for all retailers should be to avail of the Safe Shop Scheme; a training package that police have created for retail outlets and their staff.
