00:01When shoplifters strike...
00:03Police emergency.
00:05Our security guards have been stabbed in the leg.
00:07Oh, he smashed up a load of things.
00:10Grabbed our manager and then gone.
00:12The offending behaviour is getting out of control.
00:14When he was arrested, he was in possession of a lock knife.
00:18Can they be caught?
00:20I believe that you've been shoplifting this morning.
00:22So just stand up for me.
00:25It's really shocking how prison did got him.
00:28From the lone wolves...
00:31To organised crime gangs.
00:33They still almost order high-value items
00:36to get the biggest bang for their buck.
00:38Anyone up here?
00:39Aha! Bingo!
00:41Cigarettes.
00:44These guys had extensive criminal histories across Europe.
00:48This series follows the police forces...
00:50Let's go and get some results.
00:52...on the hunt...
00:53Stop, plain clothes, please, plain clothes, please.
00:55Stop, stop, you're under arrest for that.
00:56Do you know why we have stopped you?
00:59...attempting to protect the victims...
01:01Yes, yes.
01:02Jeff, you all right, mate?
01:03What's the mask of an ETA-wise?
01:04He wants five minutes.
01:05All that's unacceptable.
01:07This is life-threatening.
01:08...and bring down the criminals.
01:10Shoplifting is a crime.
01:11We want to bring offenders to justice,
01:12and that is not easy.
01:14Go to arrest.

32:26He's just been at this window here, with his legs dangling out, he's gone back inside
32:32now. Operation Vulture have located Ben, suspected of stealing eight times from the same supermarket.
32:46He's now also facing eviction for breaking his housing conditions.
33:19Due to Ben's persistent offending against one store, the police need to take him into custody.
33:25The Housing Association grant them access to the apartment.
33:29He had his legs out of that one, didn't he?
33:32But I got here.
33:33Last chance, come on.
33:35There's police at the back, mate.
33:36I'm not bothered.
33:37Well, you need to come down, otherwise we're going to end up damaging this door.
33:40Well, we'll have to, won't we?
33:42All right.
33:44Grab one of them.
33:45Bye.
34:05Here's your hands.
34:11Stand up, bud.
34:14Just listen to my mate.
34:16In a minute, you're under arrest for shotlifting.
34:19All right.
34:20Do not have to say anything, but it may on your defence.
34:23You're going to mention one question.
34:24Something you're later lying in court, anything you do say may be given an evidence.
34:27All right?
34:28Yeah.
34:31It would have been the same outcome, whether he'd have come to the door, jumped out the window,
34:35he would have still been arrested, but it went smoothly and now he's in custody.
34:43Fine, you're in.
34:47All right, mate.
34:56We're going to go through now, follow the van in, we'll get him booked in,
35:01and then we'll tidy up the investigation and get him interviewed.
35:06He's been arrested for one offence.
35:08It's just an easier process when we get to custody,
35:12and then he'll be re-arrested for the further offences.
35:15At least seven, but it may be more.
35:27Just this way, mate.
35:31You all right?
35:33Where was the offence taking place?
35:35Tesco on Longridge Road, Ribbleton, Preston.
35:39We've got to do some other enquiries on at least seven other thefts from the same store.
35:48All right.
35:50I'm going to authorise your detention to the police station,
35:52so then we're going to have to ask you some questions in a tape-recorded interview.
35:55All right?
35:57Any jewellery?
35:59No.
35:59No?
36:06You know, he's jacking.
36:07Yeah, put it on for the time being.
36:09Got no objections to you waiting.
36:12You having any alcohol or drugs today?
36:14I've got a drug.
36:15Have you had?
36:17Error and crack.
36:18Error and crack.
36:19It's this morning.
36:20Yeah.
36:24Police have 24 hours to question Ben and seek charges.
36:29We'll now get him interviewed, and hopefully he is commanded to court tomorrow.
36:38So over the 17 shop thefts, you've took over £78,000 worth of goods.
36:45A breakthrough in the nationwide supermarket shop theft.
36:49Just keep your eye on that door here.
36:51Yes, it seems to be me.
37:13In the case of the Romanian-organised shop thieves,
37:17key suspect Andre Theodore Cretu was already in prison for regional shop theft offences.
37:23The time is 12.11.
37:26I'm a present interview room at Cliff Road Police Station.
37:30In October 2024, he was accused of attempting to steal a further £18,000 worth of goods
37:36from supermarkets nationwide.
37:38You've got that nerves and you're like,
37:40am I going to make sure I'm asking everything?
37:43The success of the case needed his account.
37:47On the 18th of the 12th, where were you?
37:49I don't have to count.
37:50I don't remember.
37:56Did you take anything to the value of £1,091?
38:00I don't remember.
38:01I don't remember.
38:05This is a new store.
38:06On the 15th of March 2024, you've entered Warrington
38:10and began to select a rice range of two push-heads, nicotine items, and oil-ears.
38:16Do you remember taking them?
38:17See this meat to sell if you want.
38:20I don't remember.
38:22Because of the amount of offending that's happened, it was going to be a long interview.
38:27So, for the time, I'm going to show you CCO2.
38:29There's a gentleman just there.
38:31I believe that to be you.
38:32Would you agree?
38:37I can't tell.
38:38The image is very dark.
38:41I can't tell.
38:42If I'm looking at this a bit, and looking at yourself, standing and sitting in front of me,
38:45I would believe that this is you.
38:51You are showing me very little things.
38:54If you can show me something more clear, then I'll admit to what I've done.
39:05So, just keep your eye on that door here.
39:07How do you see it?
39:09How do you see it?
39:10Yes, it seems to be me, but I don't remember if I've come to buy or what I did.
39:22With Creto acknowledging he was in the CCTV, the investigators at last had a foothold.
39:30These offenses have been committed all around the country.
39:33You should know if you've been to those locations, no matter when the date is,
39:38and if you've been and you've taken anything from any store at any point.
39:49I didn't have great money, and I've been living with my wife and my one-and-a-half-year-old
39:56daughter.
40:02I've worked on the black market, because I didn't have the necessary documents to work.
40:12Is that you?
40:16Yes.
40:17Yes.
40:19You all look very organized in what you're doing and hiding.
40:23I would say that you're all part of one group, and you know what you're doing, and your main goal
40:30is to make money.
40:31I repeat, I don't have any connection with any group, and I don't know any group, and I'm not involved
40:35in one group.
40:36I repeat, I don't have any connection with any group.
40:41I don't know any group, and I'm not involved in any group.
40:45So over the 17 shop thefts, you've took over £78,000 worth of goods.
40:51Again, how do you explain that?
41:02When he's gone, yeah, it was me.
41:06It was just a sign of relief, and it made me feel like we've got somewhere with this.
41:11The Crown Prosecution Service charged Kretu and his accomplice Elena Gugalan.
41:17Both suspects appeared at Crown Court.
41:21PC Hartley was able to secure over 30 shop theft charges for the two suspects.
41:27That is an incredible piece of work, and to have worked with so many police forces and partner agencies to
41:32gather all of that information meant that the suspects didn't just get charged with Humberside offences.
41:37They actually were charged with offences from all over the country, and that is down to his hard work.
41:42For shoplifting offences, Gugalan was sentenced to three years and four months in prison.
41:48Kretu was sentenced to a total of two years and four months, and could be deported on his release.
41:55There's a good sentencing, it's a good outcome for the job.
41:58It shows that if you're gonna do such a thing, you're gonna get punished for your actions and receive prison
42:05sentence for it.
42:29He is very much a prolific offender who's targeted the same store numerous times.
42:34Sometimes uses disguises.
42:37Operation Vulture's most wanted shop thief, Ben, is in the interview room with PC Kimberley Dasso.
42:44He faces charges of multiple thefts.
42:48So before I caution you, I'm gonna arrest you for a further seven incidents of shoplifting.
42:53So you're being interviewed regarding an allegation of eight times shoplifting.
42:56Are you guilty of these offences?
42:58No, pardon.
43:01We've got CCTV footage which shows a male identified to be yourself, picking up two cases of Corona lagers before
43:07running out of the store and making no attempt to pay.
43:12Can you confirm that was you in the footage?
43:14No, I'm in.
43:16We've got CCTV showing a male identified to be yourself and select eight cheesecake items from the dessert fridge and
43:23place them down on his trousers before leaving the store and making no attempt to pay.
43:41Do you want to comment on this?
43:43No, I'm in.
43:45I showed him the CCTV footage of him in the shop.
43:48He had no reaction to seeing this footage.
43:52He said no comments at all questions I've asked.
43:54I'll go and review the case, speak to my sergeant, and we're gonna seek a charge for all eight shopliftings.
44:01Ben is charged with eight shop thefts from the same store.
44:05He is kept in custody overnight until caught in the morning.
44:13He has gone to Lancashire Magistrate's court.
44:17There he was given bail conditions not to enter any Tesco store in Preston.
44:22And then he'll next be seen in court in about seven weeks' town.
44:28He can't just keep going in and out of shops, taking anything he wants.
44:32He has these bail conditions to adhere to, and if he doesn't, then he'll be brought to fourth court.
44:36Operation Vulture's Most Wanted was later convicted of all eight shop thefts.
44:41He was given a 16-week suspended sentence and ordered to undertake a drug rehabilitation program.
44:53Next week, will officers tackle an armed gang?
