“Crime targeting those who own, run and work in our businesses will never be tolerated and can have a significant impact on both individuals and organisations. We work closely with businesses, Liverpool City Council's comprehensive Citywatch CCTV network and other partners to reduce such incidents, and put those responsible before the courts”
