Is
Retail Crime Out of Control? - Part 2
Part 2 of 2: Profiling Criminals & Their
Preferences
By
Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer &
Prosegur's CEO & Managing
Director, Global Retail Business Unit
In
Part 1 of this series, we presented the latest crime statistics including
the pandemic impact and the recent trends on increased violence.
In this final Part 2, we profile the criminals and their preferences. We explore
retail crime scenarios with inflation and a potential recession. Finally, we
summarize my thoughts (and yours) on whether retail crime is out of control and
what we can do about it. The introductory picture is a big hint on the key
answers.
The Who, What, and When in Retail Theft
From
QuerySprout, let's start by profiling retail criminals:
●
A majority of retail theft is caused by adults, with 75 percent of all
shoplifters being over the age of 18, while only 25% of those shoplifting are
juveniles.
●
60 percent of all shoplifters had visited two locations of the same
retailer, which means they were casing locations to see which one would be
easier to steal from.
●
About 55 percent of all shoplifters began stealing when they were
teenagers.
●
Only one out of every 100 shoplifters are arrested, and a survey found
that about 48% of shoplifters were repeat offenders.
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/8-9-22linkedin.PNG)
●
72 percent of kids and 73 percent of adults say the decision to steal was
made while in the store. In other words, it is not a premeditated act most of
the time.
●
Winter is the biggest season for theft, with 81% of retail theft during
this season occurring around the holidays.
●
Wednesday to Saturday are the peak times when retail theft is likely to
occur.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Retail Violence & Crisis Response Preparedness
Retailers address employee mental health in response to mass shootings
Mass
violence incidents have prompted retailers to reassess not only their crisis
response preparedness plans but also take a closer look at how they address
their employees' mental health and emotional stress related to these events.
The Tops Friendly Market shooting was one of more than 350 mass shootings
thus far this year in the US, according to the
Gun Violence
Archive, and more than 150 people were killed or
injured in workplace shootings from 2015 to 2021, a
Statista study found - realities which have prompted retailers to
reassess not only their crisis response preparedness plans but also take a
closer look at how they address their employees' mental health and emotional
stress related to these events.
"The tragedy at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo sparked an almost universal
review of crisis management protocols among food retailers," said David Fikes, executive director of
FMI - The Food Industry
Association Foundation.
Engaging employees, assisting the community
To better address those responses, food industry human resources departments
have been actively engaged and making sure that company employees - and in
some cases members of community - are aware of professional services available
to them to deal with workplace stress, emotional upheaval or even just the
higher level of anxiety everyone is experiencing, FMI's Fikes said.
Assisting the community has been paramount for grocery retailers, in
particular, Fikes explained, since, oftentimes, the retail locations are seen as
community gathering places and an integral part of community life.
Structuring crisis response plans with mental health in
mind
In regard to the physical protection of employees and customers, some retail
chains have opted to hire off-duty police officers or professional guards,
Fikes said, while others requested local police to more frequently patrol the
neighborhoods where their stores are and provide a more visible presence in the
community. Following the Tops shooting, FMI partnered with the Department of
Homeland Security and the FBI to offer an active assailant briefing for the
grocery industry that included motivations, tactics, techniques and procedures
that shooters take and helped inform strategies employees could take to reduce
casualties in future attacks.
Even those precautions, though, need to take into account the potential
impact on mental emotional health.

Bail Reform Not Just Fueling City Crime
Upstate NY residents say bail reform fuels crime there, too
It isn't just the Big Apple that's being
hammered by violent crime thanks to bail reform - increased gunfire
is riddling upstate cities, state figures show, with residents grieving the
loss of slain loved ones and fearful to venture out on the streets after dark.
Official
statistics show that fatal shootings in Rochester were up 26.1% this year
through June 30, compared to the same period in 2021. Shootings were up
nearly 23% in Syracuse and smaller cities like Troy and Binghamton saw
even greater surges of 100% and 80%, respectively.
Allie Forest, 42, of Rochester recently buried her 16-year-old daughter, Zahira
Smith, who was fatally shot while attending a friend's Sweet 16 birthday party.
"Bail reform is terrible and it has made the criminals too confident - they
are laughing at the police," Forest said.
Troy, located northeast of Albany with a population of 51,401, has seen
shootings double from eight to 16 this year, and killings go from one to
three.
"Bail reform gives dangerous criminals carte blanche to do whatever they want,
knowing that if they get arrested they'll be turned around and released
straight away."
Hochul's hometown is among the cities that saw declines in both shootings and
homicides, which were down 32% and 22.3%, respectively, as of June 30. But those
improvements followed last year's dismal increases of 34.3% and 49% as
compared to the average number of shootings and killings between 2016 and 2020,
respectively.
Last month, Hochul rejected calls by Mayor Eric Adams and Republican state
lawmakers to convene a special session of the Legislature to address rising
crime by rolling back bail reform. During a news conference last week, Adams
unveiled statistics that show more than 80 percent of
people busted for gun possession were released from custody this year.

390 Mass Shootings So Far in 2022 - 13 Per
Week
Most Days in the US This Year, There Has Been a Mass Shooting. These Graphics
Reveal a Lot About Them
Every week, there are more tragedies. Over 200 days into 2022, there has been
an average of 13 mass shootings a week, according to an NBC analysis of data
from the Gun
Violence Archive. The GVA defines a mass shooting as an event where a
minimum of four victims are shot, either injured or killed, not including the
shooter.
There Have Been Over 390 Mass Shootings in the US in
2022 So Far
Mass shootings are defined as events where at least four people are shot,
either injured or killed, not including the shooter, according to the Gun
Violence Archive.
The United States is an outlier when it comes to gun violence among high-income
countries. No other has nearly as many violent firearm deaths. Every day,
more than 110 Americans are killed with guns and more than 200 are wounded,
averaging over 40,000 deaths per year.
While mass shootings make up a small fraction of gun-related deaths, they are
becoming more frequent. In 2017, there were around 350 mass shootings; that
number jumped to close to 700 in 2021.
Mass Shootings Are Increasing
Mass shootings may also be more severe than in the past. During the
average mass shooting, around 5 people are shot. The deadliest mass shooting to
date was in 2017, when a gunman fired over 1,000 rifle rounds into a crowd at
music festival in Las Vegas, killing 60 and injuring hundreds. Looking at the
most violent mass shootings, events with 10 or more victims, this year is
already on pace with last year's high.

New SF DA Seeking to Reverse Reforms of Chesa
Boudin
S.F. D.A. Brooke Jenkins is officially running to keep her job in November
A
giddy crowd greeted
San Francisco District Attorney Brook Jenkins as she strode into the
Department of Elections Monday morning, filing paperwork to seek office in
November.
The
appointed top prosecutor, who drew attention after she quit working for
then-District Attorney
Chesa Boudin
last year and
became a key spokesperson for the campaign to oust him, has signaled
she may reverse some of the reforms instituted
by the previous administration. Her entrance into the race comes a week after
Boudin announced he did not plan to run this year, and two months after
his historic recall.
"On June 7 the voters of San Francisco spoke very loudly that they wanted
something different - that they wanted to take this city back in the right
direction, and that is what I have been doing for the past 30 days," Jenkins
told dozens of supporters Monday.
Mayor London Breed named Jenkins to succeed Boudin shortly after the recall
results were certified, a decision that delighted many of Boudin's detractors
but also stirred controversy in a city deeply polarized over crime and
criminal justice. People who favored Boudin's progressive ideology, his
promise to reduce mass incarceration and his aggressive prosecutions of police
use-of-force, feared those efforts would unravel under the new district
attorney.
Jenkins listed her top priorities as cracking down on open air drug markets,
particularly in the Tenderloin neighborhood; holding violent offenders
accountable; staving off gun violence and preventing attacks against Asian
Americans.

George Soros Pledges to Keep Funding Pro-Criminal, Anti-Police Prosecutors
"Bond-villain" George Soros is not sorry, or even having second thoughts, about
funding ultra-leftist prosecutors like Alvin Bragg (New York City), Kim Foxx
(Chicago), Larry Krasner (Philadelphia), and George Gascon (Los Angeles) for
all the devastation they've inflicted on American communities. Instead,
according to the New York Post, Soros "vows he won't stop backing woke
DAs despite urban crime spikes."
The 91-year-old native Hungarian recently published an
op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. In it he argued the "soft-on-crime
district attorneys" he's backed to the tune of millions of dollars are
making the criminal justice system "more effective and just...." Soros said he has
no intentions of pulling his support from them.

New Variant Has Leveled Off - But Worst Still
to Come?
Scientists Fear We're Not Ready for Nightmare New COVID Variant
The experts calculating which COVID variant
will hit us next fear an immunity escape artist that could strike before more
flexible vaccines hit the market.
A wave of COVID infections caused by the BA.5 subvariant has crested. All
over the world, daily new cases, hospitalizations and deaths are going down. But
the SARS-CoV-2 virus is almost certainly here to stay. Another wave is all but
inevitable as new variants and subvariants mutate, compete for dominance, and
find new transmission pathways.
The best of the likely possibilities is yet another form of Omicron, a variant
our immune systems recognize and know how to beat. The worst is some
brand-new variant that might slip right past our antibodies. A Pi, Rho or
Sigma variant, if you will.
New vaccine formulations aren't quite ready. Both Massachusetts-based
Moderna and Pfizer in New York have run large-scale trials of their multivalent
vaccines, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is still scrutinizing the
data.

There's No Going Back
COVID Altered the Frame of Reference About Remote Work
The pandemic exposed the benefits and
disadvantages of remote work.
The
abrupt switch to remote work that occurred likely precipitated a radical shift
in many employees' frame of reference about it. Employees (and their
organizations) varied in how well they adapted to the transition toward remote
work. This was especially the case early on, as often multiple members of a
household transitioned to a fully remote work and/or school environment. Even
with those obstacles, eventually many employees adjusted when and how they
worked and improved their productivity.
Thus, a workplace scenario for which few employees had a well-established frame
of reference prior to the pandemic became much more commonplace, with just
slightly more than 40% of employees working remotely at the height of the
pandemic. This means that many employees had plenty of opportunity to test
out a fully remote work environment. Some employees likely decided that a remote
work environment, at least part of the time, was extremely helpful in
improving their work-life interface, potentially explaining some of the
results reported by McKinsey & Company and ADP. For other workers, the
experience with remote work likely reinforced the benefits of being onsite, and
they may eschew any requirement for long-term remote work.
The
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that in April 2022, only about
7.7% of employees were working remotely "because of the pandemic." It is
difficult to know whether the overall percentage of remote workers has decreased
to near pre-pandemic levels (which was 5.7% before the COVID pandemic) or
whether the 7.7% figure is misleading due to companies having formalized remote
work options, thus decreasing the percentage of employees working remotely
because of the pandemic.

Expanding AI & Facial Recognition Tech to
Retail Outlets & More
Rank One Computing aims to expand AI, facial recognition software throughout
United States
Hoping to expand the United States' use of domestic artificial intelligence
technology, Rank One Computing (ROC) has set up its East Coast headquarters
in West Virginia, where officials hope to find more customers for the company's
facial recognition software, as well.
Stationed
primarily in Colorado, Rank One Computing has its East Coast headquarters at
Vantage Ventures in Morgantown. CEO Scott Swann described Rank One Computing as
a "computer vision" company, and said the group's facial, object and text
recognition software is able to help in a wide array of industries and scenarios.
The government isn't the only sector that can find benefit in what ROC is
offering. Swann explained that he and his team have been talking to a number of
organizations and groups across the North Central West Virginia region to
apply their product to new "verticals."
This same technology could be applied to retail outlets,
casinos, government buildings and more, Swann said, adding that a
combination of AI and humans may be the best defense
against unwanted intruders.
"People are always great to have in the process, but you have to reduce that
overall cognitive load," Swann said. "There's no way that (a person) can look
at that many cameras or be able to do the type of monitoring that you would want.
It's a function of computer resources. They never get tired. They're always
going to be consistent. They're always going to look for those kinds of threats.
... This is an easy way to add a new tool that can prevent some of the common
things."

Retail's Union Push Slowing?
Apple's fledgling union effort already improved benefits for its retail
employees
This June, an Apple retail store in Towson, Maryland, became the tech giant's
first US shop to
successfully unionize. More stores looked set to follow-but the broader
organizing push at Apple has instead
slowed in recent months.
Apple's
response exemplifies the carrot-and-stick approach that employers often roll out
in
response to union drives. But it also shows how union efforts among even
a relatively small portion of employees can wind up improving standards for
everyone.
How Apple responded to retail workers' union push
At the same time, the company unveiled a
new suite of benefits that included doubling the number of paid sick
days for retail employees from six to 12, and making paid vacation days and paid
parental leave available to part-time employees for the first time. In May,
Apple also
announced that retail employees would earn a minimum of $22 per hour
(up from $20 an hour). And in early June, the company said that it would
introduce more
flexible work schedules for employees, too.
It was, however, noteworthy that the company announced these changes in the
context of its retail union drives, during which workers had spoken out
about their frustration with wages that
lagged behind inflation,
inflexible schedules, and desire for better benefits.
Why the Apple union drive isn't dead
"Despite being happy with some of the new perks, employees also believe Apple
took too long to add them," Bloomberg's Mark Gurman
writes. "The improved benefits are a sign that the unionization pressure
worked, so it makes sense to keep fighting, they say."

Webinar Coming
Tomorrow
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/7-22-22lpff.png)
Empowering Your Frontline Achieves 17% Shrink Improvement and Safer
Stores
August 10 | 1:00 p.m. ET
Rexall
partnered with Auror
to evolve its approach to solving the ORC problem. Rexall
experienced early success during their 90-day pilot, and from 2019
to 2022, reported an impactful 17% reduction in shrink across their
locations.
For Daryl Blackmore, Rexall's Director of Asset Protection, the key
to their success was empowering stores with technology and
actionable intelligence to proactively prevent crime. "Empowering
stores to take safe action is easier with Auror," says Daryl. With
the rise in threatening behavior and ORC, actionable intelligence
has never been more important. Daryl continues, "With the right
information at the right time, our team members can stop incidents
before they start."
On this webinar, we'll hear from Daryl Blackmore and Bobby Haskins
on how empowering frontline teams drives loss and violence
reductions.

The Underground Economy is Booming Thanks to
Ransomware
A Ransomware Explosion Fosters Thriving Dark Web Ecosystem
For the right price, threat actors can get
just about anything they want to launch a ransomware attack - even without
technical skills or any previous experience.
The underground economy is booming - fomented by a surging and evolving
ransomware sector. The Dark Web now has hundreds of thriving marketplaces
where a wide variety of professional ransomware products and services can be
had at a variety of price points.
Researchers
from Venafi and Forensic Pathways analyzed some 35 million Dark Web URLs
- including forums and marketplaces - between November 2021 and March 2022 and
uncovered 475 webpages filled with listings for ransomware strains,
ransomware source code, build and custom-development services, and full-fledged
ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) offerings.
A Plethora of Ransomware Tools
The researchers identified 30 different ransomware families listed for sale
on the pages, and found ads for well-known variants such as DarkSide/BlackCat,
Babuk, Egregor, and GoldenEye that previously have been associated with attacks
on high-profile targets. The prices for these proven attack tools tended to be
significantly higher than lesser-known variants.
No Experience Necessary
Venafi researchers found that in many instances, the tools and services
available through these marketplaces - including step-by-step tutorials - are
designed to allow attackers with minimal technical skills and experience
to launch ransomware attacks against victims of their choice.
Big Ransomware Fish May Go Belly Up
Several of the larger ransomware groups have grown to a point where they employ

Comparing the Security Features of the Big 3
AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure: How their security features compare
Each cloud platform differs in the security
tools and features it offers customers to help them protect their cloud assets.
How can a CISO determine how the Big 3 cloud service providers-Amazon AWS,
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud- differ in the way that they address those
issues and provide a secure and resilient cloud platform?
Google Cloud: Swapping shared responsibility for shared
fate
Google has made the biggest splash when it comes to redefining the shared
responsibility model. In fact, Google has coined a new term, which it calls
"shared fate." According to Google CISO Phil Venables, "The shared
responsibility model created 'uncertainty' as to who handles certain aspects of
threat detection, configuration best practices, and alerts for security
violations and anomalous activities." Shared fate represents "the next
evolutionary step to create closer partnership between cloud service providers
and their customers so that everyone can better face current and growing
security challenges while still delivering on the promise of digital
transformation."
Microsoft Azure tackles multi-cloud security
Microsoft has launched an effort to address the challenge of securing
multi-cloud environments with the release of
Microsoft Defender for Cloud, which provides cloud security posture
management (CSPM) and cloud workload protection (CWP) across
Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. The goal is to find weak spots across cloud
configurations, help strengthen the overall security posture and protect
workloads against evolving threats across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud covers virtual machines, containers, databases,
storage, and application services.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers broad security toolset
As the oldest and most dominant vendor,
AWS has an advantage when
it comes to knowledge and tooling. "It's easier to get answers, find help, and
find supported tools. This is on top of the platform's overall maturity and
scope," says Mogull. AWS has a huge marketplace of third-party vendors and has a
variety of add-on offerings, as well as advisory, consulting, training, and
certification services. Marks points out that AWS "has put a lot of thought into
the features they have." She cites
Inspector, a service that continuously scans Amazon EC2 instances and
container images for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposures.

Q2 U.S. Cyber Insurance Prices Up 79% - After Doubling in Q1 & Q4
CSO's are being grilled on how they defend their
companies
Buying Cyber Insurance Gets Trickier as Attacks Proliferate, Costs Rise
Security chiefs should shop early for
coverage and prepare for long questionnaires about their companies' cyber
defenses, industry professionals say
For many businesses, obtaining or renewing cyber insurance has become expensive
and arduous.
The price of cyber insurance has soared in the past year amid a rise in
ransomware hacks and other cyberattacks. Given these realities, insurers are
taking a harder line before renewing or granting new or additional coverage.
They are asking for more in-depth information about companies' cyber policies
and procedures, and businesses that can't satisfy this greater level of scrutiny
could face higher premiums, be offered limited coverage or be refused
coverage altogether, industry professionals said.
"Underwriting scrutiny has really tightened up over the past 18 months or so,"
said Judith Selby, a partner in the New York office of Kennedys Law LLP.

Illegal Websites Cashing in on Roe vs. Wade Decision
More Illegal Sites Running Online Abortion Pill Scams
Many
women seeking abortion pills online have unknowingly been ordering the pills
from one of many fake clinics making false claims, pharmacy experts report.
While some online sites are licensed and legitimately connect consumers with the
pills, the illegal sites may sell either counterfeit or expired pills or
deliver no pills and just steal payment information. Al Carter, PharmD,
executive director of the nonprofit National Association of Boards of Pharmacy
says that since the the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in June, there has
been an increase in his team's discovery of illegal online sites selling what
they claim are abortion medications.
"Ninety-six
percent of the online pharmacies out there are illegitimate," he says. "They're
violating some type of state or federal law in almost every incidence."
The court ruled that individual states could ban abortion procedures. The
resulting patchwork of laws and access barriers have made conditions ripe for a
growing black market online for mifepristone and misoprostol, two drugs used in
combination to induce abortions.
Interest in the drugs soared after the Supreme Court ruling was leaked in May.
Within 3 days of the leak, online searches for abortion medications jumped
162% compared with the 3 days before the ruling, according to a report in
JAMA Internal Medicine.
Sites that make false claims about abortion pills are growing just as the
illegal sites that popped up in the pandemic peddling COVID-19 "cures" and
non-approved vaccines and treatments, Carter says, adding that the same
fear-based tactics are being used.

Maine Newspaper Blasts Plans for Amazon
Warehouse
Op-Ed: Amazon warehouse would be no boon to Maine
Amazon is quick to hire warehousing staff and quick to dispose of them -
at breathtaking scale. The company added hundreds of thousands of workers in the
past two years and, now that pandemic-driven sales have slowed, is in the
process of undoing that recruitment. The caprice is driving Amazon workers to
unionize, starting at a facility in Staten Island, New York, earlier this year.
Challenging working conditions drive an extremely high rate of worker turnover:
150 percent annually, almost double the industry standard. This means that more
people quit Amazon warehouse jobs in a year than the total number of people
employed at those warehouses.
According to an investigation by The New York Times last year, this trend is by
design. An internal memo leaked in June acknowledged a weakness in the
strategy: that Amazon could run out of people to hire at its warehouses as soon
as 2024.
A Scarborough foothold would allow Amazon access to a hard-to-access group of
customers, helping the company with "last-mile" ambitions in northern New
England. If you can't find any enthusiasm for this specific development, you're
not anti-business. Amazon can be excited. We don't have to be.

Tallahassee, FL: Attorney General Moody and Melbourne Police Department
Dismantle Organized Retail Theft Ring Committing Crimes in 14 Florida Counties
Attorney General Ashley Moody and the Melbourne Police Department are announcing
the dismantling of an organized retail theft ring that targeted stores in 14
counties. According to the investigation, Marshawn Gordon and John McClure,
III wore masks and raided stores, stealing nearly $30,000 worth of
merchandise. Stores targeted include: Academy Sports, Bass Pro Shops, BJ's
Wholesale, Dick's Sporting Goods, Target and Walmart. A third conspirator,
Vishram Baijnauth, knowingly purchased the stolen items from Gordon and McClure
at unreasonably low prices to resell online. Law enforcement arrested the
criminal trio and Attorney General Moody's Office of Statewide Prosecution will
handle the cases.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, "This trio targeted stores in 14 counties
across our state-stealing thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise while
trying to evade capture. Their shoplifting has ended, and my Statewide
Prosecutors will make sure they pay for their crime spree." The investigation
revealed that Gordon and McClure committed 28 separate thefts targeting specific
merchandise in stores-mostly Yeti products, tech devices and golf balls. The duo
then sold the stolen goods, most notably through McClure's online
Facebook marketplace postings under the alias 'China Sam.'
McClure set the listings at heavily discounted prices. McClure either kept the
items at a storage facility or transported the items to Baijnauth's residence.
Through a search warrant, police found hordes of products in Baijnauth's home,
along with computers, postage mailers and scales for product shipment. Baijnauth
paid McClure for the items, then proceeded to sell the stock for profit on eBay.
The theft spanned the following counties: Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Duval,
Hillsborough, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Osceola, Orange, Palm Beach,
Pinellas, Polk and Seminole.

Grand Rapids, MI: Three Defendants Sentenced In Fraud And Identity Theft Scam
Targeting Customers Of Banks And Credit Unions
Three Miami Residents Stole $1,400,000 From Hundreds of Depositors by Posing as
Security Officials to Obtain Access to Online Accounts. The fraudulent scheme
exploited the online system used by customers of banks and credit unions
everywhere. The defendants identified a targeted customer's online account using
compromised personal information they purchased from computer hackers on the
internet. To obtain a customer's confidential password and access to the money
in the customer's account, the defendants called the customer, posing as bank
security personnel, and induced the victim to share the onetime code a bank
sends its customers when they need to reset their password. Then defendants
drained the victim's account and moved the money to where they could use it for
their own purposes. The defendants, operating out of Miami, Florida, targeted
victims around the U.S. in this fashion, including customers of United Federal
Credit Union in St. Joseph, Michigan. Total losses are estimated at
$1,400,000.

investigation involving the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Secret
Service, ATF and the Marshall County District Attorney's Officer. According
to MCSO, the Loss Prevention units of Walmart, Target, Lowes and Home Depot
assisted in the investigation. The investigation revolved around the buying
and selling of stolen property. During the search of the shop, multiple items
that were believed to be stolen were recovered. Some items that were still in
original packaging were determined to be stolen from Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot
and Target stores with an estimated total of $42,000. According to MCSO, 263
guns were recovered, a variety of gun accessories and $88,000 in cash were
received.

Pelham, AL: $10,000 Interstate theft ring busted; diesel fuel
Five
people from out of state were arrested and charged in Pelham early Friday, Aug.
5 in connection with recent diesel fuel thefts from a local gas station. Over
the course of four days, from Aug. 2-5, 2,100 gallons were stolen. The monetary
loss to the business is approximately $10,000. "These individuals were able to
bypass the pumps' security and reporting mechanisms, ensuring the owners would
have no record of the fuel being pumped," said Detective Sgt. Brad Jordan. "Once
the owner determined there was no leak in his tanks, he reviewed surveillance
video and found a man filling up a large storage container in the back of a
moving truck." The Patrol Division and the Criminal Investigations Division
worked together to share intelligence and increase patrols at all local gas
stations. That teamwork paid off when these people showed up again to steal even
more fuel. "We want to make sure criminals hear this message loud and clear,"
said Chief Pat Cheatwood. "It does not pay to come to Pelham to commit crimes."
"I am so proud of the great communication and diligent police work our officers
put into this case. The initial theft report was made at 8:30 a.m. Thursday,
Aug. 4. These suspects were taken into custody around 1:15 a.m. Friday, Aug. 5,"
Cheatwood added. The suspects listed below are charged with Theft of Property
3rd Degree. Additional charges are pending.

Roseville, CA: 2 stores Roseville stores hit by organized retail thefts; 4
suspects arrested
Four young men were arrested after a pair of large retail thefts in Roseville
last week. Roseville police say, back on Aug. 5, a store along the 1100 block of
Galleria Boulevard was hit by four suspects who stole more than $950 of
merchandise. Just 20 minutes later, police say those same four suspects were
then seen at a sporting goods store on Stanford Ranch Road. They also allegedly
stole more than $950 worth of merchandise from that store as well. Despite
getting only a partial plate number, an officer managed to spot the suspects
heading westbound on Interstate 80. Officers quickly pulled the suspects over,
but they told police they weren't involved in any thefts. However, police say
the stolen merchandise officers soon found in their trunk said otherwise. All
four were arrested: Ly Duong, Cho Duong, Khailijah Saelee, and James Salvatierra.
All the suspects are 18 years old and are facing charges ranging from organized
retail theft to grand theft, burglary and conspiracy.

vacuums without paying for them. The incidents took place on August 1 and 5 at
the Target store, said police. The suspects left the area in a U-Haul van.

Update: Delaware County, PA: Man was sentenced to probation for shooting at a
Walmart clerk over a video game
A Delaware County man who opened fire inside a crowded Walmart last year,
narrowly missing an employee he was arguing with, has been sentenced to three
years of probation. Devante Dixon, 29, entered a negotiated guilty plea to
carrying a gun without a license and firing into an occupied structure.
Prosecutors dropped the more serious charges of attempted murder, attempted
aggravated assault, and simple assault that the Darby Township resident faced in
the February 2021 shooting. Delaware County Court Judge Richard M. Cappelli
credited Dixon, who had been in custody since his arrest, with time served
during a hearing last week before setting the terms of his probation. Dixon
was trying to buy a video game at the Walmart on MacDade Boulevard in Glenolden
about 8:30 a.m. on the day of the incident, according to affidavit of probable
cause for his arrest. He got into a dispute with an employee during the
transaction, pulled out a handgun, and fired a single shot inside the crowded
store. No one was injured, and Dixon fled. Four days later, Dixon turned
himself in amid extensive news coverage about the shooting, which was recorded
by the store's security cameras.

Las Vegas, NV: Smoke shop owner stabs man multiple times during robbery
In
a dramatic surveillance video, the owner of a local smoke shop appears to defend
himself with a sharp object from three would-be thieves - identified only as
juveniles - after one of them jumped the counter. This happened at the
Smokestrom Smoke Shop on West Sahara near Decatur on Wednesday, Aug. 3. In the
video, two juveniles are seen entering the smoke shop wearing masks. The owner
is heard asking "Why are you guys wearing masks like that?" When the juveniles
don't reply, Nguyen is heard asking them "to just leave." "At first I thought
they were normal customers and then I realized they had like ski masks on," said
Nguyen. "I had to assume they had a firearm so I just wanted to make sure I
could protect myself." When 8 News Now asked Nguyen if he saw the firearm he
replied, "no but I couldn't take that chance." One of the juveniles is seen
grabbing what appears to be a mug off the counter by the cash register and
walking toward the door. Nguyen is heard telling the juvenile that he could take
it but to please "leave the coins." The juvenile is seen reaching over the case
and grabbing something else, turning, and running out the door. The juvenile is
seen reaching over the case and grabbing something else, turning, and running
out the door. The masked juvenile who was stabbed can be heard screaming "I'm
dead, I'm dead" before collapsing to the floor. "I don't think he planned on
getting stabbed that day obviously, but if you try robbing a store you are
taking a risk. This is a small business obviously," Nguyen added. Nguyen is then
seen dropping the masked juvenile near the front door and calling 911. The
juvenile who was stabbed can be heard asking the owner "don't let me die."
Police have arrested the juveniles who are seen apparently trying to rob the
store and the person who was stabbed was taken to the hospital.

Montgomery County, MD: 2 men arrested in Md. for suspected string of McDonald's
drive-through armed robberies
Montgomery County Police have arrested and charged two men in connection to the
armed robbery of a Kensington, Md. McDonald's. Police also believe this wasn't
their first rodeo. 21-year-old Zachary Kinnell, of Upper Marlboro, and
20-year-old Brian Elzey, of Upper Marlboro, are accused of stealing money from
the drive-through window of a McDonald's restaurant in the 2700 block of
University Boulevard on Wednesday, Aug. 3 at about 2 a.m. Police say the two men
were traveling in a silver Chevrolet Cruz, entered the drivethrough lane and
ordered food. One of the men exited the vehicle, approached the cashier's
window, displayed a black handgun and told the cashier to leave, police said.
The cashier complied. Police said the men then reached through the window and
removed an undisclosed amount of money from a cash drawer before taking off
eastbound on University Boulevard.
Just one day later at approximately 12:51 a.m., Montgomery County Police
officers observed the same vehicle, occupied by two men enter the drive-thru of
the McDonald's restaurant in the 12100 block of Veirs Mill Road. Officers
determined that the vehicle matched the description from the previous robbery
and the robbery of other McDonald's restaurants throughout the DMV area. The
suspects made a purchase and exited the parking lot area of the restaurant.
Officers followed the Chevrolet and pulled it over in the area of Veirs Mill
Road and Connecticut Avenue. Officers arrested the two men.

Charleston, SC: Woman leaves 3 young children in car to shoplift at Citadel Mall
A Charleston woman is facing one charge of shoplifting and three counts of
cruelty to children following a traffic stop on Thursday, according to an
incident report from Charleston Police Department. Thursday afternoon, officers
responded to a complaint that three women had entered the Hibbett Sports store
at Citadel Mall and shoplifted. The subjects had triggered the security sensors
when they left the store, causing the District Sales Manager to check the
security tapes. During the traffic stop, it was determined by authorities that
32-year-old Bianca Ward, who was identified as the woman with a red hair wrap in
the surveillance video, had left three young children unattended inside the Ford
Fusion during the crime. Officers found three packs and one individual pair of
Nike socks in the car that had been stolen from Hibbett Sports. The items were
worth $82. In total, police say the three women stole more than $600 worth of
socks from the store.

Fort Hood, TX: Army vet sentenced for $2 million Fort Hood gear theft
An Army veteran who pleaded guilty to stealing $2.1 million worth of military
gear from a Texas army base was sentenced to 18 months in prison last Tuesday
and ordered to pay more than $1 million in restitution to the Army. The vet
pleaded guilty in April to stealing dozens of Army thermal scopes, radios and
night vision goggles from the Texas base. She and two co-conspirators snatched
the expensive specialty equipment sometime overnight between June 16 and June 17
of last year. Smith and her co-conspirators were caught when Army
investigators spotted items from the stolen loot for sale on eBay less than two
weeks later. The items listed on the resale site had serial numbers that
matched the missing equipment.

The retail environment changes every day and staying in tune with the ebb and
flow of it is critical, especially if you want to reach the top of your field.
There's much to say about job security and staying with one company most of your
career. But if you truly want to reach the top, you've got to be willing to
sacrifice, move, and take a risk. And as you can see from the list above retail
is a volatile space, but if you keep your eyes open, listen to what's going on
around you, take advantage of certain situations, and time it right you'll be
able to navigate your way.
