Watch: Shoplifters Raid Pharmacies While Police Do Nothing
12th August 2025
Shoplifters are raiding pharmacies while police do nothing, chemists have said.
There has been an 88 per cent increase in the theft of drugs and other medical supplies from pharmacies in the past year, according to the National Pharmacy Association (NPA).
Pharmacy owners have been left “shocked” by the lack of help from police and resorted to putting up photos of burglars in their shop windows, wearing body cameras and hiring security guards at their own expense to deter thieves.
The NPA said almost nine in 10 of its members had suffered an increase in shoplifting and three in four pharmacies said the police response was insufficient.
The Californication of Britain proceeds apace.
