Prolific Coventry shoplifter turns life around

Available for over a year

The Offending 2 Recovery programme was launched by West Midlands Police in response to research that suggested 70 per cent of shop theft crime was committed by people addicted to heroin and crack cocaine. The scheme offers a tailored support service which helps offenders break the cycle of addiction and crime. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ CWR's Lorna Bailey spoke to Phil Brown, not his real name, who has been helped by the programme.
