Urging traders to report any suspicious activity, a PSNI spokesperson said: “Shopkeepers in Antrim and Newtownabbey, please be aware of a well organised team of shoplifters targeting high value items, especially expensive perfumes and aftershaves.

“They will work as a team using children’s prams and swapping shopping baskets to avoid detection.

“Please contact us via 101 or 999 in an emergency to report suspicious behaviour,”
