The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Meijer Honors Law Enforcement Officers for ORC Efforts
'These detectives’ achievements have set a new standard for excellence in retail and law enforcement partnerships'

MSP Fraud Investigators Honored by Meijer for Efforts Combatting Organized Retail and Financial Crimes
Detectives with the Michigan State Police (MSP) Fraud Investigation Section recently received the inaugural Meijer Law Enforcement Lifetime Partner and Law Enforcement Officer of the Year awards, which were presented at the retailer’s Grand Rapids corporate headquarters last week.

D/Lt. Taylor Bonovetz, of MSP’s Fraud Investigation West Unit, was recognized with the Meijer Law Enforcement Lifetime Partner Award for the impactful contributions he’s made toward the lessening and prosecution of organized retail crime over the past decade. D/Tpr. Spencer Proefrock, also from that unit, was selected for the Meijer Law Enforcement Partner of the Year Award for his passion and commitment to solving complex cases. Among the cases they worked was a large scale mPerks theft case with corporate losses estimated to be more than $1,000,000.

“These detectives’ achievements have set a new standard for excellence in retail and law enforcement partnerships,” said Paul Jaeckle, Vice President of Asset Protection for Meijer. “Meijer is proud to partner with the Michigan State Police in our shared mission to protect our communities and prevent crime. We appreciate their professionalism and expertise in addressing the growing threat of organized retail crime.”

The MSP Fraud Investigation Section investigates criminal activity tied to fraud, identity theft and organized retail crime and often assists federal and local police partners.

“Working together, we’re committed to making Michigan a place where everyone can feel safe and secure,” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “I’m proud of our detectives and private sector partners for the impressive work they’re doing to identify criminals and investigate organized retail crime.” michigan.gov


CA's Expands Effort to Dismantle 'Criminal Networks Driving Retail Theft'
Governor Newsom announces more than 1,000 arrests in Bakersfield since April
Governor Gavin Newsom’s strategy to improve public safety in the Central Valley through a crime suppression partnership with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Bakersfield Police Department continues to produce results. Governor Newsom announced the partnership in April, and to date, the operation has resulted in 1,026 arrests, 448 recovered stolen vehicles, and the seizure of 20 crime-linked firearms. In July, the teams arrested 321 suspects, a 55% increase from the previous month and the highest month to date since the operation began.

Kern County has higher rates of property crime, violent crime, and arrests compared to the statewide average. In April, Governor Newsom launched a coordinated enforcement effort in Bakersfield to continue improving public safety, address roadway violence, and stop criminal activity. Through a state and city partnership, the CHP saturates high-crime areas of mutual interest, aiming to reduce roadway violence and criminal activity in the area, specifically vehicle theft and organized retail crime.

Governor Newsom is now expanding this effort, with a new partnership with the Kern County Sheriff’s Office to collaborate on dismantling criminal networks driving retail theft, car thefts, and violent crimes in Kern County communities.

Previously, through the Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program, the state awarded the Bakersfield Police Department $6.2 million to specifically prevent and respond to organized retail theft, motor vehicle and motor vehicle accessory theft, and cargo theft. The statewide grant program is the largest single investment to combat organized retail crime in state history.

Today’s announcement builds on Governor Newsom’s efforts to improve public safety in key parts of California, including Oakland and San Francisco. Since January 2024, the CHP’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force has made 717 arrests and recovered more than a quarter of a million stolen goods valued at over $6.8 million. California has invested $1.1 billion since 2019 to fight crime, help local governments hire more police, and improve public safety. In 2023, as part of California’s Real Public Safety Plan, the Governor announced the largest-ever investment to combat organized retail crime in state history, an annual 310% increase in proactive operations targeting organized retail crime, and special operations across the state to fight crime and improve public safety.  gov.ca.gov


Retail Theft 'One of the Most Contentious Issues' in California
State lawmakers working quickly on retail theft bill package

California Democrats push retail theft bills
Democratic leaders’ public safety ballot measure flamed out when Gov. Gavin Newsom shockingly withdrew the proposal at the last minute.

Now, legislators are pushing ahead with a retail theft bill package in their continued opposition of Proposition 36 — a November ballot measure backed by law enforcement groups and Republicans (and some Democrats) that would roll back parts of 2014’s Prop. 47.

The major bill is the Retail Theft Reduction Act, authored by Assemblymember Rick Zbur, a Los Angeles Democrat and chairperson of the select committee on retail theft.

Assembly Bill 2943 would create a new felony charge for thieves who steal more than $950 worth of property with the intent to “sell, exchange, or return the merchandise for value.” The value of the stolen items can also be totaled together if the person committed thefts within two years, or acted with someone else who also had the intent to sell.

Currently under Prop. 47, thefts of goods worth less than $950 can only be charged as misdemeanors, not felonies — a provision that critics blame for retail thefts.

Zbur, in a statement to CalMatters: “The Legislature will move forward quickly in August to deliver effective solutions to retail theft that protect our store owners and businesses and keep workers and shoppers safe. These proposals are the culmination of months of hard work involving retailers, small businesses, law enforcement, workers, community advocates, and other key stakeholders who need solutions now.”

Retail theft has been one of the most contentious issues of the session, so it’s understandable why legislative leaders are trying to finish the bills well before the pressure cooker leading up to the Aug. 31 adjournment.   calmatters.org


Prop 36 Seeks to 'Right the Wrongs' of California's Prop 47
Editorial: Voters should pass Proposition 36 to undo the damage of Prop. 47
Voters this November have the opportunity to right a monumental wrong in California’s criminal justice system by passing Prop 36.

The safety of our communities should be our top priority. Solving our public safety issues starts with the simple acknowledgement that criminal offenders must be held accountable and victims deserve justice.

Prop 36 would take immediate and necessary steps toward doing just that by protecting public safety and cracking down on organized retail theft, among other things, and begin to undo the damage caused by the state’s top Democratic leaders, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom and their progressive allies like Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon.

The decision has been left to voters because Democrats in the Legislature blocked every meaningful attempt to make these reforms over the years, including bills I authored, in total disregard for the disastrous consequences unfolding in our communities and businesses.  taftmidwaydriller.com


Cities & Towns Across America Creating Theft Task Forces
Lock ’em up: Why stores are putting diapers and deodorant behind glass
The situation is concerning enough that one local municipality is joining forces with its big-box stores to stem the tide. The Target, Lowe’s, Home Depot and Kohl’s stores in Mantua have joined police to create a special task force on retail theft, according to a recent story in The Sun.

Officers have communicated with the affected retailers on how they can team to prevent theft and recover goods, including a meeting with Lowe’s employees last month. According to Mayor Robert Zimmerman, the township fielded more than 20,000 theft calls last year, a fact that has been addressed in part with the hiring of seven new officers in 2023, added The Sun.

Why is store theft so bad? Some experts claim the crime may be exaggerated to benefit the retail bottom line, but data from Capital One updated in 2024 shows that individual and organized thievery cost stores nationwide $121.6 billion in 2023. The average shoplifting incident cost retailers an average of $461.86.

The most prolific shoplifters are likely organized, according to the National Retail Federation, part of a coordinated effort to steal items and then illegally resell them online through such sites as Amazon, eBay and Walmart Marketplace. The most recent Capital One data showed that organized retail theft involving multiple perpetrators increased by as much as 26.5% between 2020 and 2021.

So what are solutions to the problem? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has focused on those since defining retail crime as a national crisis in 2022. Among them are coordination between retailers and police, as in Mantua; changing state laws to create a separate offense for the repeated stealing of certain amounts or products within specific time periods; and more aggressive prosecution of retail theft. thesunpapers.com


NYC's Eighth Avenue plagued by crime, drugs, violence: 'This part is getting bad'
Eighth Avenue in Manhattan is getting attention, but for all the wrong reasons. From slashings to stabbings, to carjackings and robberies to clusters of illegal mopeds, scooters and e-bikes – there have been plenty of recent signs of how bad things have been getting.

It's not just residents who are at wits-end, but businesses also, including the Garment District Alliance, which has been documenting widespread drug use along the corridor. Police data from the neighborhood shows grand larcenies are down, but assaults are up. Robberies are also down, but drug arrests are up. yahoo.com

The Summer Surge in 'Wardrobing'
Why ‘wardrobing’ retail fraud soars in the summer

“Wardrobing,” in which a shopper buys an expensive item, wears it with the tags on, and then returns the item for a refund, picks up as shoppers bolster their closets for summer vacations.

A particular type of retail fraud soars during the summer season. “Wardrobing,” in which a shopper buys an expensive item, wears it with the tags on, and then returns the product for a refund, picks up as shoppers bolster their closets for summer vacations, according to returns management software company Optoro.

“During the summer and cruise season, from July to September, we see wardrobing and overall return rates spike by two-to-three times, with swimwear alone making up between 5% and 15% of returns,” said Amena Ali, CEO of Optoro. “This highlights the fine line between habitual returners and fraudsters.”

Forty percent of 18-to-29-year-olds wardrobe, according to Optoro data. In a November 2023 Optoro returns survey, 30% of shoppers admitted to buying an item for a specific event, only to return it after the occasion ended.

The challenge for retailers is handling the items when they get them back.

“For seasonal items like cruisewear and swimwear, quick, yet thorough, inspection and restocking are imperative to retain as much value as possible before the season ends,” Ali said. “Time sensitivity is crucial in this fight – ideally, you catch fraud in the moment, or better yet, before it happens.”

Ali warned if products linger in the return process, the delay can lead to significant markdowns or the need to send items to secondary retail channels such as stores like TJ Maxx, discounters, or liquidators. cnbc.com


Pharmacy Chains Testing Smaller Locations
Overbuilt market - increased competition - surging theft all driving smaller format push

Here's why you may start seeing smaller Walgreens and CVS drugstores
You may start seeing smaller Walgreens and CVS drugstores. Walgreens and CVS are going through rounds of closures, and thousands of other independent drugstores have shuttered over the past five years.

These closures are leaving communities without pharmacies nearby. In response, the companies are trying out new, mini stores that focus on health and wellness. The stores are less expensive to run and allow companies to serve areas where the population cannot support a full store.

America's drugstores are testing smaller locations and more ways to offer care as price-sensitive shoppers look elsewhere.

Customers may see Walgreens stores that are one-fourth the size of a regular location or CVS drugstores with entire primary clinics stuffed inside. If these experiments succeed, the new stores might improve access to care and create a more lasting connection with customers, analysts say.

Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth said recently that his company could close a "significant portion" of underperforming stores in the next few years. CVS Health is going through a round of closings. Rite Aid has filed for bankruptcy. Thousands of independent drugstores have closed over the past five years.

There are still more than 30,000 drugstores scattered around the country, but even Walgreens executives admit that the market is overbuilt.

The stores have struggled with increased competition from Amazon and lower-price options like Walmart or Dollar Tree. They're also dealing with theft, growing costs and thinner prescription reimbursement. abc7news.com

 
More Supply Chain Snags Coming?
Time growing short to avoid labor disruptions at East Coast, Gulf ports
Retailers are urging parties to return to the negotiation table to avoid a potential strike that could disrupt operations at 36 ports on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts just as the peak retail season approaches.

The September 30 expiration date for the master port labor contract between the International Longshoreman’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) is rapidly approaching, with little positive progress being reported, warned the Retail Industry Leaders Association. The ILA-USMX contract covers 36 ports on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts, and the ILA reportedly represents over 85,000 workers overall.

Recent signals from the ILA suggest the union has tabled the issue for another month and is preparing its members to strike.

RILA noted that with holidays and peak shipping season approaching, now is not the time for either party to create another supply chain disruption.

“Particularly with the ongoing Red Sea conflict, extreme weather conditions, and global unrest, a labor stoppage would add yet another layer of uncertainty to retail supply chains, at a time when they are expected to be operating at full capacity to deliver for consumers,” RILA said.  chainstoreage.com

Cost of Retail Data Breaches Surges 18%
The average cost of a retail data breach is…

A new IBM study reveals that data breaches are rapidly becoming more expensive for retailers to mitigate.

According to the annual IBM "Cost of a Data Breach Report," the average cost of a retail data breach in 2024 jumped 18% to $3.48 million in 2024, an 18% increase from $2.96 million in 2023. This cost is still 33% lower than the global average across industries of $4.88 million.

In addition, the study indicates one-third (32%) retailers now extensively use security AI and automation, up from 25% in 2023, resulting in an average $1.9 million cost saving compared to retailers without these technologies, an increase from $850,000 the prior year.

However, IBM data shows retail organizations still took longer to identify and contain breaches compared to the global average.

The study also analyzed data breach cost trends in the CPG industry:

The average cost of a CPG data breach in 2024 reached $3.91 million, a 3% increase from $3.8 million in 2023 but still 22% lower than the global average.

The adoption of security AI and automation among CPG companies remains nearly unchanged, with 30% using these technologies in 2024 compared to 29% in 2023.

CPG companies achieved $1.9 million in cost savings from the use of security AI and automation, a significant increase from $850,000 from 2023 – identical to retail figures.

Similar to the retail sector, consumer organizations took longer to identify and contain breaches compared to the global average. chainstoreage.com


Cybersecurity Pros Are Never Off Duty
Are cybersecurity professionals OK?

Absorbing the impacts of cyberattacks takes a personal toll on defenders. Separating the evil they see from all that’s good in the world doesn’t always come easy.

Cybersecurity work is stressful and an extremely nerve-wracking way to make a living. Alerts flagging potentially malicious attacks are constant and they have to be taken seriously because every defender reluctantly knows attacks will happen, it’s just a matter of when.

AdvertisementOn top of all of that, consider the insider’s perspective and insight they have into the personal threats criminals will make to extract a ransom payment from their victims. There is no honor among thieves.

Cybersecurity Dive spoke with more than a dozen security experts about the personal tolls of their job and simply asked: Are you OK? Some laughed nervously, others were momentarily taken aback by the question, and a few hinted at burnout, but the first response for each of them was, unequivocally, yes.

“My therapy session starts now,” quipped Stephanie Carruthers, chief people hacker and global head of cyber range at IBM Security X-Force.

Defenders who are doing well at work and in their personal lives have to recognize behaviors and circumstances that can throw them off course. Working all the time without breaks or meaningful distractions from the torrent of malicious activity is a surefire way to burn out, or at least undercut the ability to perform at a high level.

“As much of a science cybersecurity is, a lot of it is an art and usually your best ideas come to you whenever you’re thinking about different things,” Dwyer said. “Being the best that I can be means that I’ve got to take care of myself, too. cybersecuritydive.com

 
Passing the Buck?
Microsoft joins CrowdStrike in pushing IT outage recovery responsibility back to Delta

The software provider said Delta’s delayed modernization efforts were to blame for its slow recovery.

Microsoft pushed back on Delta Air Lines’ public statements blaming operational issues on the vendor, instead attributing the IT woes to Delta’s modernization delays in a letter sent to Delta’s counsel Tuesday and viewed by CIO Dive. CNBC and The Verge first reported the news.

“Our preliminary review suggests that Delta, unlike its competitors, apparently has not modernized its IT infrastructure, either for the benefit of its customers or for its pilots and flight attendants,” Mark Cheffo, an attorney from New York-based law firm Dechert representing Microsoft, said.

Microsoft claims Delta repeatedly declined offers of technical support to help restore systems. The provider also alleged Delta’s biggest problem was its crew-tracking and scheduling system, which was run by IBM and other technology providers, Cheffo said in the letter. cybersecuritydive.com

The Importance of Cannabis Security
Security Guards: In-House vs. Outside Agency
The need for security guards in the cannabis industry is essential to the smooth operation of your business. Security officers are a deterrent for crime and serve as customer service representatives to your customers. Assisting with directions, crowd control, and checking IDs are some of the job functions security guards conduct at cannabis facilities.

The question that arises is - "why should I hire an outside agency to do security at my facility when I can do the security in-house?" Maybe you know some retired Law Enforcement officers who want to do your security, so why should you hire a company?

Hiring an outside company is the best route to go for the following reasons:

AdvertisementHiring good security officers may seem easy but when it comes to oversight, management, and scheduling of the officers, it becomes a headache. For small businesses with limited resources and staffing, it becomes a nightmare. By hiring an outside agency, it allows you to focus on running your facility and the outside agency will handle all the technical details of the guards.

Most national insurance carriers aren't currently insuring cannabis businesses. The ones that are generally shy away from insuring cannabis businesses that have in house security due to the extra liability involved. On the other hand, outside security agencies have several million dollars of liability insurance that you are covered under if you use an outside agency.

Having security in house means that you have to offer benefits to full time employees, as well as eat the cost of overtime when guards call out or you need additional officers. By using an outside agency, you don't have to worry about filling shifts and paying benefits and overtime.

An outside agency offers more than just security guards. They also offer consulting services to provide comprehensive risk assessments to further enhance the security at your facility.
 
Even when hiring in house guards, armed guards MUST still be in full compliance with all the pertinent laws for security guards. The right outside security agency will ensure that the guards always comply. In addition, although unarmed officers that are in house are exempt from the requirements of SORA, an outside agency has the upper hand in ensuring that your officers aren't committing crimes outside of work and still coming to work without you knowing that they have committed a crime. sapphirerisk.com
 

Illicit Shops Turn NY Into 'Bizarro World'
NY officials want to ease buffer rule to open more pot shops: ‘They must be stoned’
Gov. Kathy Hochul’s cannabis regulators are considering loosening the rules to allow more licensed pot shops to open in city neighborhoods — a half-baked idea that immediately ignited not-in-my-backyard opposition.

The current rule requires a 1,000-foot buffer between cannabis shops, but state officials revealed Tuesday they are now weighing a “public convenience and advantage” waiver — even though they have yet to determine what the criteria requirements would be.

They must be stoned,” Queens city Councilman Robert Holden told The Post — only half in jest.

The state’s plan surfaced during a cannabis-control-board meeting — and comes just as New York City and New York authorities had been starting to make a dent in padlocking hundreds of illegal pot stores.

We’re in bizarro world,” said Holden, whose borough has been particularly plagued by illicit marijuana shops. nypost.com


Ohio Kicks Off Legal Marijuana Sales
98 Ohio marijuana dispensaries can begin recreational sales Tuesday
Nearly 100 Ohio dispensaries will get the green light Tuesday to start selling recreational marijuana.

The Division of Cannabis Control announced Monday that it awarded 98 dual-use certificates of operation to medical cannabis dispensaries entering the adult-use market. Ohioans voted last year to legalize recreational marijuana for consumers 21 and older, but the division had to finalize rules and issue licenses before sales could begin.

Additional dispensaries are expected to receive certificates of operation in the coming days.

“Since existing licensees had already met stringent requirements of (the medical marijuana) program, we anticipated this process to be rather smooth,” said Jim Canepa, superintendent of the Division of Cannabis Control. “They had already undergone many of the comprehensive checks as part of that process.” cannabisbusinessexecutive.com

Luring Victims to Fake Web Shops
E-Commerce Fraud Campaign Uses 600+ Fake Sites
Security researchers have uncovered a sophisticated information-stealing fraud network that lures victims to fake web shops via malicious Facebook ads.

Dubbed “Eriakos” after the content delivery network (CDN) used by the threat actor, the campaign exclusively targets mobile devices and users, with the scam websites only accessible via malvertising in order to evade security scanners, said Recorded Future.

The threat intelligence specialist claimed to have discovered 608 fraudulent e-commerce websites under the control of a single actor or group.

“Merchant accounts and related domains linked to the scam websites are registered in China, indicating that the threat actors operating this campaign likely established the business they use to manage the scam merchant accounts in China,” the report explained.

“The scam campaign was designed to steal victims’ funds, card data, and PII through transactions with linked merchant accounts. The scam e-commerce websites we identified combined brand exploitation with time-sensitive offers, likely to create a sense of urgency among victims.”

The threat actor sends out dozens of ads related to a single scam website, so that even if some are blocked by Facebook’s filters, others reach their victims.

“The short life of the actual scam domains suggests the ad campaigns were likely also designed to be short-lived, indicating their operators’ intention to attract and defraud their victims quickly. This tactic is more likely to be effective when scam advertising campaigns are operated at scale, as was the case for this campaign,” Recorded Future explained. infosecurity-magazine.com

Walmart, Target lead the way in customer satisfaction

What does it take to be great at grocery ecommerce? While big guns like Walmart and Target lead the way in delivery and curbside pickup, other retailers, including Albertsons, Food Lion, and H-E-B, are also performing well in certain areas of online grocery, according to a report from Ipsos. Albertsons, for instance, was named as a “Brand to Watch” in a recent Ipsos ecommerce report, which cited improvements for the retailer in both delivery and curbside pickup. Albertsons was also among the top performers in multiple areas of the report, with the most critical performance piece being customers’ indication that they would use the retailer’s service again. supermarketnews.com

Sometimes when you're moving so fast and dealing with the mistakes of the day, the frustration levels peak and one can tend to forget that sometimes you've just got to stop, listen and take a breath and maybe talk to a friend about it all. If it's a good friend, they'll bring you back into focus and make sure you don't react too aggressively and make the mistakes even worst. There aren't many friends like that nor ones that you can absolutely trust. But if you've got a couple, make sure you thank them as well for taking the time.   


Just a Thought,
