This piece of legislation is about updating and amending the Secondhand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act to ensure that it is fit for purpose in the 21st century, to give the police the tools that they need so they can crack down on stolen property which is being put through second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers. It gives the police more tools, it helps them to be smart on crime, and it helps to ensure that more offenders who are stealing and robbing are actually held to account.
