A police spokesman said the offences recorded may have been committed inside or outside the stated location. The type of offences have not been disclosed.

A spokesman for Boots said it took shoplifting extremely seriously and took a zero tolerance approach.

“We invest significantly in the latest technology and other more traditional methods of crime prevention and work closely with local police.

“At our store on King Street, Huddersfield, we work in partnership with our security expert to keep our colleagues, customers and patients safe and report all incidents of crime to the police.

“We are committed to continually improving security measures for the protection of our people and property.”

A spokesman for Tesco said: “Along with other retailers in Huddersfield, we work closely with the police, attending regular police meetings and supporting their efforts, and on a number of initiatives to tackle crime.”

The spokesman added: “We are also proud to work with a range of charities in Huddersfield that tackle social challenges often related to criminal activity.”

A spokesman for Tokyo said the majority of incidents related to “simple mobile phone loss reports”.

The spokesman added: “Tokyo is Huddersfield’s largest venue, welcoming some 145,000 people through its doors in the last 12 months – by sheer volume of numbers it’s inevitable some crime may very occasionally happen.

“This figure represents less than 0.1% and demonstrates you’re more likely to experience crime in Primark and Asda than in the town’s late night economy.

“Huddersfield continues to be one of the safest place in the country to enjoy a great night out.”
