The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Store Crime Has Local Leaders Waging War on
Dollar Stores
Cities across the country are pushing back on dollar
stores in part because of crime
As Dollar Stores Proliferate, Some Communities Say No
More than 70 proposed dollar stores have
been rejected since 2019, a report shows. It’s a small number compared with
those that opened but evidence of opposition to the industry.
There
is a movement of municipalities across the United States that have pushed back
against the dollar store industry’s rapid growth during the pandemic.
Since 2019, at least 75 communities have voted down
proposed dollar stores, while roughly 50 have enacted moratoriums or other broad
limits on dollar store development,
according to a new report by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, an
organization that is critical of corporate retailers and their impact on
communities.
By comparison, from 2015 to 2018, about 25 communities voted down proposed
dollar stores while only six enacted moratoriums or ordinances limiting
their growth.
Rural, Republican-leaning communities in places like southern Virginia and
North Carolina are pushing back against dollar stores. (In 2020, President
Donald J. Trump easily carried Morgan, Minn.) And leaders in cities like
Toledo, Ohio, and Birmingham, Ala., have also mounted opposition, saying the
stores are fueling crime and unhealthy food
choices. Across Georgia, 18 cities and towns have restricted dollar store
development, according to the think tank’s report.
Ms. Cochran-Johnson, a Democrat, was elected to the ommission in 2019. The next
year, she persuaded the commission to pass a moratorium on dollar store
developments in DeKalb County.
The moratorium ended in December, but the county is putting into effect
new requirements for dollar stores, including that they
install video surveillance in their stores and parking lots and turn
over security camera footage to the police within 72 hours of a crime.
Regarding the issue of crime, Dollar Tree said, “We continually invest in
deploying proven crime-reduction technologies in stores located in higher-crime
areas and use risk-based analysis and tactics to reduce incidents in our
stores.” The company added that it turned over surveillance footage whenever law
enforcement requested it.

Walmart Crime Closure?
Some shoppers say Walmart is closing an Albuquerque store over rampant crime
The Albuquerque Police Department reportedly
had 708 calls to service at or near the store in 2022.
The San Mateo Boulevard store is set to close on March 10 after opening in
July 1985, according to Walmart spokeswoman Lauren Willis. The store has
287 employees, all of which are eligible to transfer to another store in the
area.
Walmart did not answer questions about whether crime rates at the Albuquerque
location were responsible for the decision to close it. But Albuquerque
police officers had their hands full with the store in the past year. The
Albuquerque Journal reports that 708 calls were made requesting police
service at or near the store in 2022.
"There is no single cause for why a store closes," Willis told Insider. "We do a
thorough review of how a store performs and weigh many factors before making the
difficult decision to close a facility."
She added that the Albuquerque Police Department "has been a great partner and
we are extremely appreciative of their efforts to combat crime at this store."
The Walmart is
one of at least eight stores closing soon across five states and the District of
Columbia. These closures come months after Walmart President and CEO
Doug McMillon warned in December that select "stores
will close" if
high theft rates didn't slow down.
The San Mateo Boulevard store itself is located in Albuquerque's International
District, which has been called by locals
the "War Zone" for decades due to
high levels of criminal activity.

Mall Shootings Prompt Apple Store Closure
Apple Shutters Store in North Carolina After 3 Shootings in 75 Days
Northlake Mall in Charlotte, North Carolina saw a third shooting incident
in 75 days
An
Apple store in Charlotte, North Carolina saw its doors closed permanently
on Wednesday, following three nearby shootings in three months,
Bloomberg reported. The store in Northlake Mall was open for business in the
morning, before staff were told that the location would be closing
immediately, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg.
The previous night, the mall suffered its third shooting in 75 days – and
second in February – according to local news station WSOC-TV.
Nobody was injured during the incident outside a Macy's store, police said, nor
was anyone hurt after a single shot was fired on February 5. An incident on
December 15 outside a jewelry store in the mall, however, saw a 19-year-old
charged with attempted murder, per
WSOC-TV.
The Northlake Mall Apple store's
website says it is "temporarily closed" at the top. A statement reads: "In
preparation for a new store we plan to open in the Charlotte area early next
year, we will be permanently closing Wednesday, March 1st at 4pm."
Plans for that new store were underway before the shootings, Bloomberg reported,
but people familiar with the situation told the outlet that the recent
violence contributed to the decision.

New Mexico's Retail Theft Bill Update
Editorial: Get retail theft bill to governor’s desk
“There’s no question that organized retail crime is having a detrimental
impact on the bottom line for New Mexico businesses, especially small ones. This
cowardly crime also means higher prices for New Mexican consumers – it’s time to
crack down on organized retail theft.”
— Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Jan. 30 news release
Our governor was channeling every retail business owner and every law-abiding
customer in the state when she announced her support of House Bill 234, which
will target the plague of theft rings that send folks out to steal $499.99 over,
and over, and over again.
State Attorney General Hector Balderas made the case for HB 234 last year,
saying “it is more profitable now to go and steal from
our local retailers than it is to sell drugs and guns in New Mexico.”
He told KRQE-TV “what’s occurring is you have major drug dealers sending out
armies of shoplifters into these retail centers, and they’re stealing these
goods and exchanging them for fentanyl and other drugs.”
So it is heartening that so far, our state lawmakers are listening and voting to
finally protect our businesses and our consumers. As Terri Cole, president and
CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce says, “employees are
scared and employers feel helpless.”
HB 234, sponsored by Albuquerque Democrats Marian Matthews, Natalie Figueroa,
Antonio Maestas and Speaker Javier Martínez, has been honed to focus on
aggregating the crimes so these repeat shoplifters are charged with felonies,
not misdemeanors, and on the coordinated and planned gang element of the
crimes.
The bill is headed to the House floor, where it deserves swift passage.
Ditto for the Senate.
The governor has made it clear she sides with business owners and consumers on
this one, that no one should feel scared and helpless in the face of rampant
retail theft. Let’s get HB 234 to her desk and take back our retail
operations, for N.M. business owners and consumers.

Record-Breaking Theft Across the Globe
Record retail theft puts pressure on Australian supermarket giants
Retail theft has hit record levels in Australia, government statistics
show, putting pressure on grocery giants Woolworths Group Ltd and Coles Group
Ltd that are already struggling with soaring supply costs and freight blockages.
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/3-2-23retuers.PNG)
Store theft rose 23.7% in New South Wales,
the home state of a third of Australians, from 2021 to 2022, state government
figures showed on Thursday, the fastest year-on-year increase since records
began in 1995.
Queensland, Australia's third-largest state, had the highest monthly rate of
shop stealing on record this January, according to publicly available police
data.
The data underscores concerns raised by analysts and social researchers that
surging living costs - from grocery shelf prices to
power bills to mortgages - will drive up crime. That may impact
profit at Woolworths and Coles, which together ring up two-thirds of Australian
grocery sales and noted rising store theft in trading updates last month.
"Supermarkets operate on very thin profit margins. You only need a small change
in the stock loss to have an impact on profitability," he added. Supermarkets
refer to goods lost to theft, expiry or payment error as stock losses.
Woolworths and Coles declined to comment. On a Feb. 22 earnings call with
analysts, Coles Chief Operating Officer Matt Swindells said the company was
experiencing "elevated theft" and was investing in staff training and
technology to counteract it.

'Crime Doesn't Pay': Chicago Violence Sinks
Mayor's Re-Election
Lori Lightfoot's critics sound off on Chicago mayor losing re-election
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat,
lost her re-election bid Tuesday night, and critics are celebrating the end of
her term.
Under
Lightfoot, Chicago has seen soaring crime rates, which
became a theme of her opponents' criticism. In 2021, homicides in
Chicago rose to their highest numbers in 25 years, outpacing other crime-ridden
cities like New York City and Los Angeles.
Throughout her tenure, the mayor has been blasted for her poor relationship
with law enforcement, as the city's police department lost a significant
number of officers in recent years amid the rise in crime.
After the mayor's defeat, critics wasted no time in expressing their pleasure
on Twitter that Chicago will soon have new leadership, touching primarily on
the city's crime wave.
Gianno Caldwell, a Fox News political analyst whose brother was killed in
Chicago last summer, wrote that the Lori Lightfoot "experiment" is
"officially over. Thank you, CHICAGO."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., wrote, "Lori Lightfoot. Crime doesn't pay."

COVID's Lasting Business Impact
How COVID Impacted Business Budgets
Reconsidering Financial Budgeting after a Pandemic
Business budgets might not look quite the
same after COVID-19. With these tips, companies can get back on track with their
budgeting in the post-COVID world.
After
years of dealing with the impact of COVID-19 on their budgets, companies are
beginning to get back to a sense of normalcy. Businesses may be able to stick
more closely to their budgets, but creating a budget in the post-COVID world
might look a little different than it did before.
1. Know Your New Normal - Across every
industry, major adjustments were made due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of
those changes may be scaled back, while others are here to stay. New health
standards, work-from-home options, online shopping offerings, and supply-chain
adaptations may become permanent solutions for businesses. When building a
budget after COVID-19, businesses must determine what the new normal is and how
it will affect cash flow moving forward.
2. Forecast, Forecast, Forecast - With some
pandemic-related hardships in the rearview mirror, forecasting can enable
businesses to take a look at past performance and anticipate how to get
through economic uncertainty that may loom on the horizon.
3. Rebuild Your Emergency Fund - When it
comes to an emergency fund, size matters. Plan for major events with a large
enough fund to cover expenses for several months.
4. Payback Is a Cinch - Be sure to
understand what needs to be paid back and whether forgiveness guidelines have
been met. Decide the best way to pay back debts.
5. Be Realistic - Using more conservative
estimates for revenue and growth can keep goals more in line with reality. This
is an opportunity to look at where the company is headed.

The Post-COVID Lockdown Retail Comeback in
China
From condoms to cosmetics, China sales grow as lockdowns end
The world's top consumer and luxury goods companies have seen sales of
everything from cosmetics to condoms grow in China since Beijing ended strict
COVID-19 curbs, another sign that the world's No. 2 economy is reviving after
the pandemic.
Upbeat comments on Wednesday from Reckitt Benckiser, Nivea-maker Beiersdorf,
Moncler and Puma came after data showing China's factory sector grew in
February at the fastest pace in more than a decade.
"After a very volatile January, with traffic still heavily impacted by the
release of COVID restrictions in December, we see a clear turnaround in
retail sales starting in February," he said in a briefing for analysts.

Stores Shift from City Centers to the Suburbs
Another Blow to City Centers: Retail Stores Move Outward
Major brands are eschewing both downtowns
and malls in favor of smaller residential locations in the US, compounding the
financial strain of office vacancies.
After
Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. closed a large store in
Water Tower Place, a mall near Chicago’s city center. It was one of a spate
of pandemic-related retail closures in downtown urban neighborhoods that have
since become permanent. But the clothing retailer had other plans in store.
At the end of 2021, the company opened a new boutique-style shop in the Lakeview
neighborhood of Chicago, where a large customer base was making online
purchases.
It’s part of a pattern among US retailers that are
abandoning malls and large-format stores in city centers in favor of
neighborhood locations that aim to serve the work-from-home generation.
And while retail presence is shrinking in many big cities, apparel retailers’
brick-and-mortar locations are growing overall. They’re just moving outward,
with smaller footprints in residential neighborhoods.
Brands including Macy’s Inc. and Kohl’s Corp. have taken on similar
strategies, experimenting with new formats and neighborhoods. Macy’s Chief
Executive Officer Jeff Gennette said in January that customers now want to
shop in the ZIP code in which they live, noting that “off-mall is quite
attractive.”
While the shift serves the retailers themselves, allowing them to meet their
customers closer to home, it threatens both metropolitan downtowns and
traditional malls that for decades benefited from tax revenue and foot traffic
generated by shoppers. Cities have already been suffering from a steep
decline in office occupancy – which is currently at about 50% of pre-pandemic
levels – and fewer retail stores in dense urban areas will only add to the
trouble of luring people back.

Judge Orders Starbucks to Reopen Stores & Reinstate Workers
Sen. Bernie Sanders is also forcing a vote to
subpoena Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz
Starbucks committed ‘egregious’ violations in battling union, judge rules
The judge’s order requires the company to stop a long list of behaviors
and reinstate workers who began a nationwide union drive
Starbucks
committed “egregious and widespread” violations of federal labor law while
trying to halt union campaigns, ruled a federal administrative law judge,
who ordered the coffee giant to reopen closed stores
and reimburse backpay and damages to employees who launched a
nationwide organizing drive at the company.
Starbucks showed “a general disregard for the employees’ fundamental rights,”
Judge Michael A. Rosas wrote in a 220-page order released Wednesday.
In resolving an extensive case that combined 33 unfair labor practices
charges from 21 stores in the Buffalo area, Rosas held that the company
retaliated against employees affiliated with Starbucks Workers United as they
began a union drive in 2021. Since then, 268 of the roughly 9,000
company-owned U.S. stores have voted to unionize, and Starbucks’s interim
chief executive Howard Schultz has drawn the ire of liberal political leaders.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions, said Wednesday that he would force a vote to
subpoena Schultz as part of a hearing about unionization efforts at
Starbucks.
“To order a company to reopen stores that it’s closed should be
embarrassing for Starbucks,” said Rebecca Givan, an associate professor of labor
studies at Rutgers University.
Rosas’s order requires Starbucks to halt a sweeping list of behaviors
that include: retaliating against employees for unionizing; promising
improved pay and benefits if workers renounced the union;
surveilling union-supporting employees while on-site; refusing to
hire prospective employees who back the union; and relocating union
organizers to new stores to halt the group’s activity, overstaffing stores
ahead of union votes.

Retailers Face a Growing Number of Cyber
Threats
Fortifying Your Retail Operations in the Face of Growing Cyber Threats
In
today’s fast-paced retail and consumer industry, the shift towards hybrid
shopping is rapidly changing the way retailers do business. As the shift to
hybrid shopping persists, however, it also creates new security challenges
for retailers and wholesalers to protect sensitive customer information and
its supply chain network.
To protect themselves and their customers, retailers and wholesalers must
take proactive measures to stay ahead of the curve in terms of technology
and security. Here are some key recommendations to keep in mind:
1. Stop Blaming the User: Traditionally, the
blame has been placed on the user for clicking on malicious links, but it’s time
for the focus to shift towards training and providing the right technology to
protect users from falling victim. Implementing strong multi-factor
authentication (MFA) can prevent unauthorized access and limit the impact of a
potential attack. Additionally, retailers should regularly monitor their
systems, restrict access to servers and applications to the minimum required
carry out their jobs, and design their networks such that in case of a breach,
its impact can be contained and confined to a specific region.
2. Reduce your Attack Surface: Prioritizing
discovery of sensitive assets on your perimeter, understanding your exposure to
phishing attacks and reducing those attack surfaces further contribute to
holistic security. Finally, organizations must extend their asset management
programs to include source code, credentials and other data that could already
exist on the internet or dark web.
3. Speed up Response Times: Quickly
identifying and mitigating threats can help minimize the damage and prevent a
ripple effect throughout the supply chain. For retailers, a rapid response to a
cyberattack is crucial in protecting their customers’ sensitive information and
financial data. With numerous transactions being processed every day, a breach
in security can lead to widespread financial fraud and a tarnished reputation.
4. Think Like an Attacker and Continuously Test:
By regularly performing threat hunting, penetration testing, and red teaming,
retailers can identify weaknesses and improve their security posture, protecting
their customers’ sensitive information and financial data.
5. Fortify Data with Artificial Intelligence:
By leveraging the power of data and artificial intelligence, retailers can
proactively enhance their cybersecurity posture. AI algorithms can analyze vast
amounts of data to identify patterns and anomalies that could signal a potential
threat, allowing retailers to detect and respond to cyber-attacks faster, more
accurately and efficiently.

Biden to Congress: Renew Surveillance Tool
That Helps Battle Cyberthreats
White House faces deeply skeptical Congress as it advocates for controversial
surveillance tool
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act, which expires in December, is in perhaps its most precarious
position yet.
As the Biden administration begins its campaign to urge Congress to renew a
controversial surveillance provision that authorizes intelligence agencies to
carry out warrantless data collection, it will face a skeptical Congress
where distrust of government spying runs deep.
Those signs of early opposition to the law, which is set to expire at the end of
this year, may be the reason the White House has started to publicly push for
its renewal 10 months before 702 expires. In statements released Tuesday and
during an event at the Brookings Institution the same day, top law enforcement
and national security officials made their case that 702 has become an
essential tool for protecting Americans against a growing number of threats.
“The Biden-Harris Administration strongly supports the reauthorization by
Congress of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a
vital intelligence collection authority,” National Security Advisor Jake
Sullivan said in a statement released Tuesday. “This authority is an invaluable
tool that continues to protect Americans every day and is crucial to ensuring
that U.S. defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies can respond to
threats from the People’s Republic of China, Russia, nefarious cyber actors,
terrorists, and those who seek to harm our critical infrastructure.”
The intelligence community has posed losing the tool as
disastrous for U.S. national security, including against growing cybersecurity
threats. “Section 702 is critical to our ability to understand the
nature of the cyber attacks that we face on a consistent basis from nation
states — China, Russia, Iran,” U.S. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen
said at the Brookings event.
Examples of threats to U.S. national security foiled by Section 702 intelligence
include identifying foreign ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure,
according to the Justice Department. Officials say getting information to stop
such attacks fast enough without Section 702 would be impossible.

The Cybersecurity Benefits of Making
Developers Key Team Players
Developers can make a great extension of your security team
Developers care about the quality and security of their code, and when empowered
to help, developers make great security advocates who can help harden your
supply chain security while reducing the burden on DevOps and security teams.
Introducing security tools that allow developers to own code security within
their existing development process can increase early risk identification and
simplify the process of mitigating risks, slowing the growth of (or even
reducing) vulnerability backlogs.
Organizations are growing wise to the benefits of decentralizing security
efforts and incorporating developers in their hardening processes. Some studies
have even found evidence that developer-integrated security practices are a
sign of maturity seen in successful security organizations. In an annual
study, the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) team found that all 10 of
the firms with highest BSIMM scores had implemented satellite teams that augment
security efforts, and that these same satellite teams were missing from all 10
of the lowest scoring firms.
A complete approach to supply chain security must include developer security
champions. Developers should not only be included in the security process,
but they should also be empowered to act on known risks with
developer-oriented security tools that work within their existing development
process.

Securing Cannabis: A Conversation with Sapphire
Risk CEO Tony Gallo
For about as long as there has been a legal industry, Sapphire Risk has
been helping cannabis companies manage their security needs.
Founded
in 2012 by Tony Gallo, a 30-year veteran of the
security business, Dallas, Texas-based
Sapphire Risk
originally provided consultation services to pawn shops, gun shops, jewelry
shops, and similar businesses. In time, as Gallo explained during a recent
call with Cannabis Business Executive, cannabis not only joined the list
of industries served by Sapphire Risk; it became the main focus of the
company, which to date has worked with more than 800 cannabis business
owners in 35 states and Canada.
According to Gallo, the security industry overall has three main components
to it. “There’s the industry that is called security,
which is more of a physical position; you would consider a guard a security
person, somebody that physically protects the assets of the company. Then there
is loss prevention, which is someone who
identifies a problem that’s occurring, and puts things in place to prevent those
losses from occurring again. If you had a location that had an armed robbery,
you would put things in place to prevent future armed robberies from occurring.
And then there’s the position that I call asset
protection, and that position identifies a potential problem before
it even happens. You didn’t wait for the robbery, or you didn’t wait for the
employee theft, or you didn’t wait for the emergency procedures. You perceive
that these things could occur, and then you put those procedures in place.”
The Elements of Security
As Gallo explained, the basic elements of security have not changed even if the
tools have. “The core of any program in retail security – which is what cannabis
is, and everything I’ve done – is identifying where your losses are, and the
majority of losses in any retail business is internal employee-based,” he
said. “Whether it’s employee theft, or employees damaging product, or hurting
the margin in some way, it always revolves around the employee. I would say
about 80 percent of all the losses in the cannabis
industry are due to employee involvement in some way, compared to
most retailers, where somewhere between 60 and 80 percent of all their losses
are internal.
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/Sapphire-Logo-Horizontal-2023.png)
Sapphire Risk’s menu of services includes consulting, application writing
services, security floor plan design, secure facility build-outs, SOPs, and risk
assessment. In addition to retail, Sapphire also provides security for
cultivation sites of all sizes.
But Gallo also stressed that a lot of people have misconceptions about the
security risks associated with cannabis. “We do around 100 city council meetings
every year, give or take,” he said. “I did 50 in New Jersey alone last year, and
a lot of people are under a misconception that crime goes up [around
dispensaries]. Believe it or not, crime actually goes
down when you have a dispensary in that neighborhood simply because of the
amount of security that’s required.
Security Boon
Even as the overall industry struggles to find its footing, security remains
an essential component of running a cannabis business, and with new states
coming online or expanding their programs, Sapphire has plenty of business,
especially when states schedule application deadlines for the same day.
“When we do our applications – and we do floor plan design, so we take your
floor plan and add the security on: the video, the alarm, the access control
– we have 35 people, which includes contractors and a design team, and you can
only turn so many screws. So, when you get hit with a double state application
process, we can only take on some of the people.”

Taking On Black Market Cannabis in Canada
Ontario is dropping its weed profit margins to get the 'upper hand' over the
illegal market
Drop largely triggered by strength of
illicit pot sales, which still made up 43% of market last March
The Ontario Cannabis Store says it will be reducing its price margins in a
bid to help pot retailers compete with the illicit market. The provincial
pot distributor announced the margin change Thursday, saying it will be
implemented in September.
The OCS estimates the move will put $35 million back in the hands of licensed
pot companies this fiscal year and $60 million in the 2024 fiscal year. The
OCS expects these amounts to compound annually in the years thereafter as the
legal cannabis market grows.
The margin drop was largely triggered by the strength of the illicit pot
market, which still made up 43 per cent of Ontario's cannabis market last
March.
"This announcement will allow producers to better compete with the illicit
market, particularly when it comes to dried flower," said Charlie Bowman,
chief executive and president of licensed producer Hexo Corp. in an email.

Larger Share of Americans Support Legalization
GOP Congressional Lawmakers Tout Poll Showing Republican Voters Back Federal
Marijuana Legalization
Three Republican members of Congress are celebrating the results of a new poll
showing that more than two-thirds of likely 2024 GOP presidential primary and
caucus voters support federally legalizing marijuana so that states can make
their own decisions on the issue.
The survey, released on Wednesday by the Coalition for Cannabis Policy,
Education, and Regulation (CPEAR), found that 68 percent of respondents back
ending federal marijuana prohibition. There was majority support across age,
gender, educational and religious groups.
The overall level of backing for reform has increased by 10 points from a
similar poll the group conducted a year ago. GOP lawmakers who have
championed marijuana reform in Congress are welcoming the results.

99 Amazon Facilities Canceled, Closed or
Delayed Across 30 States
Amazon closes, cancels more warehouses as cost-cutting persists
Amazon’s fulfillment network cuts have bled into 2023 as the e-commerce giant
continues to slash operating expenses, according to data from a consulting firm
tracking the company’s logistics footprint.
Amazon has canceled, closed or delayed 99 U.S. facilities, impacting nearly
32.3 million square feet of active or planned ground-level space in 30 states,
Marc Wulfraat, president and founder of MWPVL International, said in a Friday
email. In September, the firm had recorded
66 impacted facilities totaling 24.6 million square feet of ground-level
space.
Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly disputed MWPVL’s figures in a statement, arguing
the firm “says we’re selling or abandoning land or buildings that we’re keeping,
or buildings that we never had in our possession to begin with.” Kelly did not
specify which recorded closures, cancellations or delays were incorrect.
After
a whirlwind of facility openings to keep up with the pandemic-fueled
e-commerce boom, Amazon made
big cuts to its operating costs throughout 2022 as excess capacity in
its fulfillment network weighed on profitability. Those efforts are slated to
continue this year.
In a
Feb. 2 earnings call, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said reducing the cost to
serve customers within the company’s operations is a top priority. Amazon’s
aggressive efforts to expand its fulfillment center and transportation network
have created areas within it where the company is working to become more
efficient and productive.

Amazon's Tug-of-War Over Return to Work Policy
Hundreds of Amazon employees join a new Slack channel to support the company's
return-to-office policy after others call for permanent remote work
The move came after thousands of employees joined a separate Slack channel
opposing the RTO plan.
A tug of war is brewing at Amazon over the company's new return-to-office
plan.
Hundreds of Amazon employees joined a new Slack channel last week that
supports the company's new return-to-office policy, Insider has learned —
just days after a much larger group of staff rushed to a separate Slack channel
that's fighting against the RTO mandate.
The description of the new Slack channel says it intends to "Think Big" about
the benefits of the RTO plan, which is in "danger" of getting overturned by the
opposing "remote advocacy" group. As of Monday, the RTO supporting channel
drew just a little over 750 people, versus the 28,000-plus in the opposing
channel.
"Sensing the danger of #remote-advocacy resulting in an overturning of the
RTO plan, we seek to Think Big in this channel to elaborate on the hidden
benefits of RTO," the description says, according to a screenshot of the channel
seen by Insider.

Orange County, CA: 2 arrested for over $460,000 in stolen merchandise
Two suspects were arrested in Orange County for obtaining nearly half a million
dollars worth of stolen goods on Feb. 24. The suspects were identified as Jesus
Ortiz, 48 from Lynwood, and Yolanda De La Rosa, 49 from Anaheim, by the
California Highway Patrol. An investigation into an organized group of retail
thieves began in January, led by agents with the CHP Border Division’s Organized
Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF). Authorities witnessed “multiple suspects
arriving and delivering suspected stolen property to an apartment in Anaheim,”
while investigating. Two other locations in Bellflower and Lynwood were also
found to be associated with the organized theft crew, said CHP. On Feb. 24,
authorities served a search warrant and discovered 14,018 stolen items worth
over $463,746.27 among the three locations.

South Hill, WA: Theft suspect caught after GPS tracker hidden in stolen items
Pierce
County deputies caught a shoplifting suspect Monday after following a GPS
tracker built into the stolen merchandise. Deputies were called to a beauty
store near Meridian Ave E and 168th St E in South Hill. Employees reported a man
walked in and stole $2,862 worth of fragrances, then left. Employees also said
one of those bottles had a GPS tracker on it. Law enforcement tracked the GPS,
which showed the suspect was in the parking lot of a nearby department store.
Deputies went there and found the man’s car, then went into the store, where
they found and arrested him. Authorities say the man was carrying the stolen
merchandise in his backpack. The suspect reportedly told deputies he planned to
sell the stolen items for "blues"—meaning fentanyl pills. Deputies searched the
suspect’s car, where they found more items stolen from a nearby store.

Baton Rouge, LA: Officers arrest woman tied to 'dozens' of theft cases; accused
of hitting same store 3 times in 5 days
A woman accused of being tied to dozens of thefts totaling thousands of dollars
was arrested Wednesday, officers say. Arrest documents from the Baton Rouge
Police Department say that Morgan Derozan, 20, is tied to multiple thefts from
in and around Baton Rouge. The first theft the documents report is from
Nordstrom in the Mall of Louisiana in early December 2022. Officers say
Derozan, along with four others, two identified as Twanne and Joshua Derozan,
stole approximately $1,100 worth of merchandise. Police also say that
between Dec. 26 and Dec. 30, the five entered the DSW shoe store outside
of the mall and stole $1,000 worth of brand-name shoes on three separate
occasions. Each time, when employees attempted to stop them, Derozan
threatened them with violence. During BRPD's investigation, officers found the
group was allegedly tied to a different theft at Walmart on Old Hammond
Highway from Dec. 31. The group was also arrested in Gonzales on Jan. 4 for
felony theft charges. Police said the group has been allegedly tied to dozens
of felony thefts. Derozan was arrested through BRPD for four counts of
organized retail theft between $5,000 and $25,000 as well as two counts of
simple robbery.

Jefferson Parish, LA: Video released of deadly police shooting at C-store
Sheriff
Joe Lopinto maintains the deadly shooting of a man in Terrytown by one of his
deputies was justified. Portions of the body cam footage and surveillance video
were released Wednesday, showing the moments before Kevin Veal pulled out a gun
and pointed it at deputies at a Terrytown convenience store. Prior to the
shooting, the suspect called 911 multiple times. "He had a truck that was parked
illegally across three different parking spots, had two flat tires on the
right-hand side, certainly needed a tow truck but was very paranoid. Thought
some people were trying to kill him," Lopinto said. Moments later, Veal is seen
walking into Brothers' Food Mart shortly after 4 a.m. Minutes later, he
interacts with officers and refused to leave the store. Officers pleaded with
Veal numerous times to come from behind the counter, but he visibly seems
paranoid. Shortly after a struggle ensued, Veal is seen pulling a gun from his
waistband and aiming it at the officer's head.

Stamford, CT: Update: Man Sentenced In Murder, Robbery Of Stamford Jewelry Store
Owner
A New York man convicted of killing a Stamford jewelry store owner during a
robbery in March 2020 was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years in prison.
Robert Rallo, 59, of Brooklyn, N.Y., pleaded guilty in April 2022 to
interference with commerce by robbery, interstate transportation of stolen
property, and using a firearm to cause a death during a robbery. He was
sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley in Bridgeport, according to a
news release from Vanessa Roberts Avery, U.S. Attorney for the District of
Connecticut. Two other men — Thomas Liberatore, 65, of White Plains, N.Y., and
Paul "Tony Pro" Prosano, 62, of Brooklyn, N.Y., — were each found guilty in
December 2022 by a federal jury in Bridgeport of interference with commerce by
robbery, an offense that carries a maximum prison term of 20 years; and
interstate transportation of stolen property, which carries a maximum prison
term of 10 years.

Using Bombs to Rob C-Stores
Md., DC men face federal charges, including arson, in robbery of C-Store ATMs
with Explosives
Two men, one from Maryland and the other from D.C., are facing charges for
an elaborate scheme to rob convenience stores with the
use of explosives. A federal grand jury returned an indictment for
arson, commercial robbery and use of a destructive device, among others for
Stephen Kennedy, 33, of Temple Hills, Maryland, and Donnell Kelly, 33, of D.C.
Prosecutors said that from January 2021 to January 2022, the men planned to use
explosives to rob 7-Eleven stores and take the cash in the stores’ ATMs. These
were done while the stores were open. Kennedy and Kelly used the explosive
devices to set fire to the buildings. The fire
forced the store to close and shut off power to the security cameras,
which would enable them to go back to the location and burglarize the ATMs
uninterrupted, a news release from the United States Attorney’s Office District
of Maryland said.

Lynnwood, WA: Entrance to CVS Pharmacy destroyed in attempted burglary
The entrance to a Lynnwood pharmacy was destroyed overnight in an attempted
burglary. Police arrived at the CVS Pharmacy at 19507 Highway 99 after receiving
reports that a truck backed through its front doors. Lynnwood Police Department
spokesperson Maren McKay said it was around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday when at least
two people tried to get through the storefront. Though they succeeded in
destroying the door, they came up empty-handed. After the crash, the passenger
then got out of the truck and went into the store. When officers arrived, the
driver fled in the truck, according to Lynnwood police. The passenger tried to
run away but was caught and arrested. McKay said the driver then abandoned the
truck — which is believed to have been stolen — switched to another vehicle, and
managed to get away. Police are still working to identify the driver.

rammed into the store or if they will face any charges.

Sometimes you have to lose in order to win long term. Picking your battles is an
art that many never acquire, but those that do are usually two steps ahead of
you. So while the loss may seem to set you back, regroup and focus two steps
ahead because that's where the winner of the last battle is. And remember always
lose with dignity and win with humility.
