Deterring retail theft

screen_cuts_theft.JPGOne of our stores has been hit by a co-ordinated team stealing items of value. Our camera system caught the evidence and while we have reported this, we have also introduced two new in-store screens to show that we are filming. One new screen is above the door –showing that we film people as they enter and leave. The second screen is above the counter as we know that the professionals look at the counter.

Theft prevention experts say that the risk of capture is key to reducing theft activity. Hence our investment in two screens in high profile locations.
