Dame Sharon White, chairwoman of the department store group, said she met Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley about the issue.
The John Lewis Partnership said it is facing a £12 million jump in the cost of shoplifting as bosses at the retail giant blamed a surge in organised crime.
The boss said she met with Sir Mark Rowley, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, earlier this week to discuss shoplifting. Last month, the group’s supermarket arm Waitrose said it was offering free tea and coffee to police officers in an effort to boost their presence around stores.
