Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, you might have noticed an increase in retail theft. According to the highlights from the National Retail Federation’s 2021 National Retail Security Survey, “participating retailers said the pandemic resulted in an increase in overall risk to their organizations” (page 3).
Using that knowledge, you can equip your business for success by learning how loss prevention devices can help you to prevent retail theft before it occurs.
What is Retail Theft?
Retail theft is when a person is caught stealing merchandise from a retail operation (boutiques, supermarkets, convenience stores, etc.). If the person is apprehended, they will most likely be charged with shoplifting. However, each state has its own set of laws regarding theft. To learn about the laws in your state, click here.
