He was remanded in custody to appear at court on May 22. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Police said part of the operationâs focus was to also deter people away from shop stealing and assist in finding longer term solutions so the behaviour isnât repeated. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two people were offered referrals to support services for assistance with groceries to help curb the chances of reoffending. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Operation Midday has been running sporadically throughout the year across Merri-bek, focusing on disrupting and deterring retail theft. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to <a href="https://brunswickvoice.com.au/fall-in-crime-in-brunswick-defies-statewide-trend/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">official crime statistics</a>, stealing from a retail store is the fifth most common offence in Merri-bek, with 762 offences recorded over the last year. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">In that period, Brunswick recorded 269 retail offences and Coburg had 173. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Merri-bek Local Area Commander, Inspector Tim Jacobs, said police would continue to mount operations against retail theft. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">âRetail theft is certainly not a victimless crime, with staff and bystanders experiencing aggression and intimidation during these incidents,â he said in a written statement. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">âWe are very focused on ensuring our local retailers are safe, and ensuring these are safe places for people to visit. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">âOperations like this will continue to prevent retail theft from occurring in the first place, and allow us to respond quickly to apprehend thieves.â <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last weekâs was the second major operation of this type in Brunswick and Coburg this year. <p class="wp-block-paragraph">A <a href="https://brunswickvoice.com.au/machete-seized-during-police-blitz/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">four-day operation in late-January</a> resulted in 24 arrests, including a 14-year-old boy who was allegedly in possession of a machete. <div style="height:17px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div><div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-411a0add wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex" style="margin-top:10px"><div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"><ul class="wp-block-jetpack-sharing-buttons has-normal-icon-size jetpack-sharing-buttons__services-list is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-jetpack-sharing-buttons-is-layout-ee2485f3 wp-block-jetpack-sharing-buttons-is-layout-flex" id="jetpack-sharing-serivces-list" style="padding-bottom:17px"><li class="jetpack-sharing-button__list-item"><a href="https://brunswickvoice.com.au/serial-shop-thief-nabbed-in-brunswick-police-operation/?share=facebook&nb=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="jetpack-sharing-button__button style-icon share-facebook" style="color:var(--ast-global-color-5);" data-service="facebook" data-shared="sharing-facebook-42158" aria-labelledby="sharing-facebook-42158"><span id="sharing-facebook-42158" hidden>Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span><svg class="social-logo social-logo-facebook" height="24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><g><path d="M12 2C6.5 2 2 6.5 2 12c0 5 3.7 9.1 8.4 9.9v-7H7.9V12h2.5V9.8c0-2.5 1.5-3.9 3.8-3.9 1.1 0 2.2.2 2.2.2v2.5h-1.3c-1.2
