Retail crime like this costs retailers and communities billions of pounds every year, this increases the prices of the goods we buy adding to the cost of living crisis. Theft from retailers can also cause retailers to close their doors causing job losses and the loss of essential services in our communities. There are many different types of retail thieves and reasons why they do it such as lone prolific shoplifters to organised groups and gangs who steal to order. Other reasons why people steal is because of food hunger, drug and alcohol addiction, mental health and the compulsion to steal. We have a mixture of home grown retail thieves and gangs that travel back and forth from Europe. We also have people who have entered the country illegally and either commit crime in order to survive and stay under the radar, you may find that some of these individuals are being exploited or are working for wages under the minimum wage. Many people who commit retail crime are also quite often involved in other types of crimes such as street robbery, dwelling and commercial burglar, car crime and even steal from people gardens and gardens sheds. Retail crime is far from victimless and it will take a joint effort to reduce it and tackle all the issues that are contributing to it. If something is left to rot it will only get worse. If you are a member of the public who is experiencing financial hardship or have a drug or alcohol addiction there is help and support available in your area.
