Green Party leader Zack Polanski has said shoplifting is sometimes justified for people living in poverty. He told the BBC that those who steal out of necessity should be treated with compassion, calling it “criminalising poverty.”

Polanski also criticised the justice system for locking people up “too often and too quickly.” His comments come after a report showed almost 517,000 shoplifting offences in England and Wales in 2024, costing retailers £2.2 billion.

Polanski, a former hypnotherapist, became the new Green Party leader last month and called for taxing the super-rich to help those struggling with rising costs.

Peter Cardwell speaks with former met police detective, Mike Neville.
