Officers across Dacorum held a week of action last week, to help tackle business and retail crime.
Safer Business Action Week, an initiative run by the National Business Crime Centre, saw officers visit retailers and other businesses to understand more about the issues they are facing and pass on advice.
Engagement events, plain clothed operations and targeted patrols were also carried out during the week.
As a result, four arrests were made, a large quantity of stolen goods were recovered, and regular known offenders were deterred.
Among those arrested was a shop worker who was suspected of receiving stolen goods. Enquiries continue.
PC Lucy Hodgson, who coordinated the project across Dacorum, said: “This annual week of action is an opportunity to shine a light on the issues that businesses face on a daily basis.
“It’s also a chance to highlight the work that police and local partners do all year round, to try and tackle these issues. It proved a great success, with several arrests being made and stolen goods being recovered.
“We understand the impact that crime has and we’re committed to working with businesses to help reduce offences.”
