A sophisticated network of shoplifters raking in billions of dollars of stolen goods ranging from cold medicine to power tools is becoming a growing problem, police say. Retailers estimate organized retail crime cost them $68 billion in 2019, leading chains like CVS and Target to employ teams of so-called “corporate cops.” These investigators work with actual cops and federal agents to gather intel on suspects and even surveil them by recording undercover videos.

Bidenflation

Bring back the Pinkertons!!
None of this will matter when moronic judges let them off with slaps on the wrist.
Is the $900 free theft of good not working out anymore? Awwwwww poor liberals.
Hot take: Thieves don't have to worry about loss prevention tackling them anymore. They know they'll get away. If they do happen to get caught, they have more rights than the common law abiding citizen. There's no real consequence.
If u get caught stealing u lose 1 finger. They have 10 chances to stop before the lose it all. Start chopping fingers off for thieves and bring back public stoning’s for the serious criminals.
Can we get a comment from AOC ? People "Need To Feed Their Child," Maybe Have To "Shoplift Some Bread"
Sadly our weak government allows this to happen and there is little to no risk to the criminals. Punishments for these crimes need to be drastically increased and they need to give more allowances to citizens to stop this. When the deterrence isn't there, the scum will take over.
PUT A TRAP DOOR NEAR THE ENTRANCE AND THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM !
The thieves are getting much bolder nowadays.
this is what the defund the cops democrat voting public voted for. too late to complain. sit back and enjoy what you voted for
Stores weren't 24/7 ; products behind counters & storage; no empty with no employees but apps is increasing crimes, sad.
We can always compost the criminals!
