💨 Abstract

A serial thief, Patrick Verry, was banned from all Greggs outlets in England and Wales after repeatedly stealing from a specific store in North London. Verry was labeled one of the capital's "most prolific shoplifters" by police. This measure was part of a broader effort by the Met Police to combat rising shoplifting rates. The Sun's investigation revealed a widespread shoplifting crisis in Greggs stores across the country, with incidents occurring frequently and often going unreported.
