    Department Store to Get Prison Cells

    Police are to convert offices into a mini-jail to hold criminals in the famous London shop, Selfridges. The cells will be used to detain people suspected of shoplifting and fraud anywhere on Oxford Street. "Oxford Street is the busiest shopping centre in Europe," said Superintendent Jon Morgan, divisional commander at Marylebone police station. "We're a very busy division, dealing with a panoply of offences, but we have limited cell capacity at Marylebone and we haven't been providing the best service for retailers." He said the cells, which will open later this year, would offer both a visible police presence in the area and an opportunity to deal with offenders more quickly. The cells will not be designed for use overnight and will not house violent criminals or those who have taken drugs.
