Inspector Sam Knott from the York Inner Policing Team said: “Although York remains one of the safest cities in the country and crime levels are low, we must not become complacent.
“Working closely with our key partners we engaged with local businesses to provide an opportunity for them to tell us about the issues they are experiencing.
“I encourage anyone with concerns to approach us when you see us patrolling or contact us via the North Yorkshire Police website or 101.”
