Would-be shoplifters are being warned that Dyfed Powys Police have plain clothes officers working in the busy town centres in the run up to Christmas.
Blending in with other shoppers, theyâll be on the lookout for criminals over the coming weeks.
âThis is a warning to criminals that just because they canât spot a police officer doesnât mean there isnât one close by,â said Inspector Alun Samuel. âPlain clothes officers will be out regularly during this busy shopping period, and theyâll be looking out for pickpockets, purse thieves and shoplifters.
Shoppers and store owners should feel reassured by this undercover presence and we hope it persuades the criminals to stay away.â
