Police in Northern Ireland are sending Christmas cards to shoplifters to remind them they are being watched.
A PSNI Craigavon Facebook post warned criminals that a "dedicated team" of officers would be monitoring past offenders closely in the coming weeks.
It is hoped the operation - Op Nutmeg - will deter criminals from attempting to steal during the busy Christmas shopping period.
It will be rolled out in cities and towns across Northern Ireland.
"Today we launch Op Nutmeg," read the PSNI post. "It is, in part, as festive as it sounds! To start with, being the caring bunch we are, we're sending Christmas cards to our frequent flyers, reminding them that we're watching.
"We'll be making it clear to them, in no uncertain terms, that their sort of work is not welcome in ABC district.

Re: Xmas cards from the cops
Just put the cards in the shops and they'll be lifted, thus disseminating the warning even more widely.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
