Town 'fighting back' against shoplifters

Nearly 100 traders across Ross-on-Wye have united in a unique way to tackle thieves, 12 months after an art shop in the riverside town decided to take action.

'Shopwatch' is a dedicated WhatsApp chat which allows businesses to share details on the movements and whereabouts of known shoplifters, giving them real-time information.
