The shop "Alldays" (now a branch of the Co-Op) on Midanbury Broadway briefly made headlines in 2002, when it was revealed that store staff had caught a shoplifter and requested the police attend, but the police responded that they were too busy and asked the staff to make sure the shoplifter was caught on CCTV before letting him go. The incident was reported in most tabloid newspapers and was a source of embarrassment to Hampshire Constabulary.
