Meanwhile, retailers face the prospect of legal action for accusing a person of theft, asking for I.D or inspecting a fake note.
Retail crime and anti-social behaviour in Newbridge came under the spotlight last week.
Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan visited the town to assess local challenges.
He met Gardaí at Newbridge Station to hear about rising shoplifting and pressure on resources.
Gardaí outlined the need for stronger supports and updated laws.
The Minister also visited local businesses affected by theft and anti-social behaviour, with business owners describing the impact on staff safety and customer confidence.
Concerns were raised about reduced margins and repeated incidents.
The Minister committed to raising the issue with the Garda Commissioner.
He told Senator Fiona O' Loughlin, who invited the Minister to the area, that he is considering more Garda resources for the town.
Meanwhile, retailers face the prospect of legal action for accusing a person of theft, asking for I.D or inspecting a fake note.
