"Thirty-eight people have been convicted during a major crackdown by Leicestershire Constabulary to tackle criminality. A major part of the evidence-gathering phase involved the opening of a shop in the Saffron Lane area of Leicester, which was staffed by undercover police officers. The shop was used by offenders selling goods they had stolen from homes across the county. The operation - codenamed Padlock - began in July 2004 after concerns were raised about the level of crime being committed in the Saffron Lane area of Leicester."
