She says there have been more incidents this year than ever before.
By Elliott Webb & Andrew EastonA perfume shop manager said she had been attacked twice this year confronting shoplifters.
Speaking about Friday's incident, the manager said: "They opened a bag and started putting items in there, so I took the bag off of them [and] got the items out."I said 'at the end of the day, yes I am, you've got my property in there, I'm going to take it back'."Ms Woodward added she started marching him to the exit and he was "trying every way possible to get to any of the shelves to grab an item".
Asked if shoplifting had been a real problem at the business, Ms Woodward said it was not and "years before we were lucky if we got even one a year".She said fellow shop owners were working together to combat the rise. Deputy police and crime commissioner for West Mercia Marc Bayliss said PCC John Campion had increased the number of police officers by about 600 since he took office in 2016.
