The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
'Largest-Ever' Investment to Fight ORC in
California History
Calif. Gov. Newsom Announces $267M Investment to Fight Organized Retail Crime
'When shameless criminals walk out of stores with stolen goods, they'll walk
straight into jail cells,' Newsom said
California
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday
announced the
largest ever single-investment to target retail-related crime in the state,
putting more than $267 million into the cause.
"Enough with these brazen smash-and-grabs. With an unprecedented $267 million
investment,
Californians will soon see more takedowns, more police, more arrests, and more
felony prosecutions,"
Newsom said in a statement from the governor's office. "When shameless criminals
walk out of stores with stolen goods, they'll walk straight into jail cells."
The funding is a
part of Newsom's
Real Public Safety Plan to combat crime
across the state of California.
The announcement says that the initiative will include
more police, arrests takedowns, prosecutors, felony changes, and accountability.
Individual sheriffs offices and police department will be awarded over $23
million each in funding to be used for creating
"fully staffed retail theft investigative units, increase arrests, install
advanced surveillance technology, train loss prevention officers, create new
task forces, increase cooperation with businesses and the community, target
criminals in blitz operations, as well as crack down on vehicle and catalytic
converter theft."
The
Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program
will partner with law enforcement agencies in seven counties and 34 cities
across the Golden State.
The Board of State and Community Corrections is
poised to vote on the proposed funding on Sept. 14 and if it is approved, law
enforcements will be dispersed their payments on Oct. 1.

to combat retail theft
An All-of-the-Above Approach to Stop Theft Mobs
Task forces, facial recognition & other tech, as well as tougher legislation are
all on the table
Flash mob summer: How can retail theft stampedes be stopped?
With flash mobs of thieves committing dozens of heists in high-end and other
stores around Southern California since early July,
the problem became so dire that officials announced a task force focusing on
cell tower dumps, surveillance video and other high-tech tools.
Arrests are starting to happen. But
halting the trend may take more time.
Los
Angeles police, working with other local, state and federal agencies, are
investigating
21 flash mob thefts in Los Angeles County,
Deputy Chief Kris Pitcher said.
Other flash mobs, or “flash robs,” as police call them, have occurred in
neighboring counties.
Shoppers on edge: ‘It’s nerve-wracking’
The recent flash mob thefts have left some shoppers on edge. “I
am aware of everything around me when I’m shopping,”
said Rose Smith, 66, a Topanga Mall shopper. “It’s
nerve-wracking. It’s very scary.”
But the possibility that a flash mob might suddenly appear won’t necessarily
change shopping habits. “It’s really rare,” said Joseph Saad, 42, who shops at
the Topanga Mall. “You
have to keep your head on a swivel these days,
anyway."
Who’s reselling the goods?
Organized retail crime rings target items that are
difficult to track and are easily resold.
Stolen items that
once were hawked at flea markets or street corners are now fenced online by
gangs to raise money for their activities,
said Rachel Michelin president and CEO of the California Retailers Association.
“What we are seeing is more sophistication,” Michelin said. “We
see a lot more recruiting; they recruit street gangs, the homeless. They will
pay them 100 bucks to go in and steal.”
High and low-tech tactics
Retailers are increasingly employing high-tech, low-tech and no tech methods to
combat the thieves, including
next-generation video surveillance systems,
facial-recognition cameras, license-plate readers, radio-frequency
identification tags, case locks, more training and increased security.
They have also advocated for
legislation that would increase penalties for theft and would make it easier for
law enforcement agencies
to share information.

States from Coast to Coast Wage War on Retail
Theft
Ohio Chamber of Commerce working to prevent future thefts in retail stores
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has seen an uptick in retail crimes
When former Congressman Steve Stivers left Washington D.C. to head the Ohio
Chamber of Commerce, he didn’t realize crime would be at the top of his agenda.
That’s what the majority of the 8,000 members that make up the chamber are
telling him.
“We're hearing about inflation and supply chain, but
the other thing that I didn't expect to hear from and about is crime,”
said Stivers. “We're hearing about
both retail theft and violent crime as issues of concern.
We did a poll [late] last year,
62% of businesses said they may not expand in Ohio as a
result of crime in Ohio.
That's a staggering figure and it's impacting our economic climate. And that's
when we decided to create a Crime Task Force.”
The
Crime Task Force is set to meet by the end of this month.
Stivers tells 10TV they are trying to get ahead of retail theft and violent
crime to
prevent corporations from moving out of the state.
The committee’s recommendations will be forwarded to the Ohio Legislature.
Stivers says
they are targeting organized crime rings by aggregating misdemeanors, and
pooling together criminal history if the suspect may have hit several stores
within the same day or week and prosecuting it as a felony case.
The Crime Task Force is also looking into charges for juveniles involved in
organized crime to be charged as adults.
Local law enforcement believes
prosecution is a part of the puzzle,
but more needs to happen to prevent retail theft.

20% Rise in Workplace Killings Spurs Bill
California Legislative Update: SB-553 Passed Assembly 55/17 & Ordered to the
Senate
SB-553 'Occupational safety: workplace violence: restraining orders and
workplace violence prevention plan'
It requires employers to create a log of violent incidents, implement active
shooter training, provide shoplifter training for retail workers, stop untrained
employees from confronting shoplifters and help with the filing of restraining
orders against attackers.
Bill opponents, including Republican state senators and the California Retailers
Assn., claim the legislation risks the livelihood of small-business owners who
will have to hire security personnel and is too sweeping to work for all
industries.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported
in December that
homicides in the workplace increased more than 20% in 2021 to 481 deaths.
This is the latest year for which there are data. That number is the
highest over a five-year span,
topping 458 in 2017. Of the 2021 deaths,
387 were carried out by a shooting.
Cal/OSHA placed the number of
workplace homicides in California in 2021at
57, with 42 killed by guns.
Figures on nonfatal workplace violence vary. The U.S. Department of Justice
released
a report last year stating that on average between 2015 and 2019, “1.3
million nonfatal violent crimes in the workplace
occurred annually.” The
Bureau of Labor Statistics noted there were 37,060 nonfatal workplace
injuries in 2020 “resulting from an intentional injury by another person.”
Cortese aims to combat violence with a plan that would have employers large and
small crafting workplace violence prevention strategies. He envisions the
plans including security personnel — be they guards or workers whose job it is
to scout for, and stop, thieves.
This portion of the bill in particular has sparked controversy.

Is D.C. Becoming America's 'Murder Capital'
Again?
A shaken Washington copes with surging violence: ‘This is not normal’
Violent crime has long been a part of Washington life, the worst of it during
the early 1990s when drug trafficking propelled the annual homicide toll to
nearly 500 and D.C.
earned an inglorious reputation as America’s “Murder Capital.”
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/9-11-23wapo.PNG)
The volume of carnage these days is not nearly as high, and most D.C. residents
are unlikely to ever be a victim of violence.
Yet a sharp rise in crime over the past year — punctuated by reports of
homicides, brazen shootings, and carjackings by armed teenagers — is rattling a
city already struggling to recover from a pandemic
that upended its rhythms and ravaged its once-thriving downtown.
As the nation’s capital, D.C.’s stature as the focus of global attention and
tourism remains secure. Yet, months of
persistent gun violence is causing many Washingtonians to question their safety
and commitment to the city with an intensity perhaps unseen since the drug wars.
The randomness is reflected in statistics showing
sharp increases in crime in areas where it is less expected,
as well as the jarring details of individual incidents.
Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and
police have
pushed a variety of initiatives to respond to the violence, including a
curfew for teenagers in select neighborhoods, prosecuting juveniles as adults,
and permitting judges to detain more defendants before trials.
Yet, the bloodshed persists: In the first six days of September alone, eight
people were shot and killed, including four teenagers.

California Legislature approves concealed-carry limits, teeing up possible
Supreme Court fight
A year after Democratic infighting
tanked a high-profile gun-control bill in Sacramento, California lawmakers
successfully approved legislation on Tuesday to limit who can carry firearms in
public, setting up a likely legal challenge that could reach the Supreme Court.
Two high-profile mass shootings in
Half Moon Bay and
Monterey Park this year have only increased pressure on Democrats to crack
down on gun violence in California. That’s despite the state having some of the
most prohibitive gun laws in the country, so restrictive that
some have been struck down by the federal courts.

Another Retailer Reports Theft Hit on Profit
Margin
Primark owner sees stronger profits ahead despite store thefts
Theft from Primark stores over the summer was worse than bosses had budgeted for,
but the retailer’s owner still expects profits this year to be slightly better
than it had expected due to growing demand in the US for its classic British
grocery brands.
Primark’s
profit margins over the past six months have not been as strong as analysts had
estimated, however,
largely because of “higher-than-expected stock loss from stores”
as well as a “modest amount of restructuring costs” in Germany.

Retailer Sues Mall Operators For Neglecting
"Significant Security Incidents"
American Eagle sues Westfield for letting iconic San Francisco Centre mall
‘deteriorate into disarray,’ allowing crime to run rampant
One of the largest remaining tenants at
San Francisco Centre on Market Street has sued the former owners,
charging that they let the massive mall “deteriorate into disarray” and allow
crime to flourish.
It
alleges that after the pandemic began in 2020, co-owner and operator
Westfield neglected security efforts and basic mall
management required by American Eagle’s lease, leaving employees “to suffer and
respond to gun violence, physical assaults, burglaries, and robberies.”
The lawsuit claims the American Eagle shop,
between May 2020 and May 2023, was the scene of more than 100 “significant
security incidents.
… On multiple occasions, patrons have brandished firearms while verbally
assaulting the store’s employees.”
Westfield and co-owner
Brookfield Properties said in June they would default on their $558 million loan
for the large property, blaming San Francisco city government for allowing “rampant
criminal activity”
that drove down sales and foot traffic in the mall.
But this suit alleges that the mall operators were equally to blame.
“Westfield cannot walk away from the harm that it has caused without
consequence,” said the lawsuit filed Monday in San Francisco Superior Court. “It
must be held accountable for the damages
caused by its failures and broken promises.” Westfield also closed its
management office in the mall during all this, the lawsuit claimed.
In the suit, American Eagle is seeking “all actual and compensatory monetary
damages” due to the alleged
breach of contract in terms of mall security and
maintenance promised
in the lease with the chain, which runs through 2028.

Retailer foils
skimmer scam using AI
Retail deters skimmer crew, builds strong
case in less than six hours
Here's
how it started: A store manager saw through a skimmer crew's distractions
at the checkout stand. As the manager approached, the three individuals
abandoned the installation of the skimmer hardware and bolted.
With the immediate threat deterred, the client's AP team used FaceFirst's
powerful visitor search feature. With this "look back," they quickly identified
the subjects' criminal pattern by date, time, and store locations. In just
hours, they built a strong case against a ring of 10 well-organized thieves.
You've seen some variation of this before. In this case, three individuals
entered the grocery checkout together. They blocked view of the card swipe
terminal with a bulk package of paper towels. One person distracted the cashier
by asking for cigarettes from a locked case. Another said, "Oh, I'll bag" and
stepped into position. The goal, of course, is to overlay an illegal skimmer device
on the
card swipe, intercept credit/debit card data, and steal money from the card
accounts.
The sharp-eyed manager addressed the trio. They fled, leaving the partially
installed skimmer behind. The manager called in his AP team right away. Their
FaceFirst search of the three individuals' images revealed similar incidents in
the client's other stores and more accomplices. Less than six hours after the
manager's report, the AP team had identified 10 individuals casing 28 stores and
installing six skimmers successfully. Overnight, the chain audited all checkout
devices and added security measures.
Consider the benefit of taking an individual's image, running a search, and
identifying that individual's past visits to any of your stores-all
within minutes. FaceFirst's investigative features turn a nearly impossible
manual task for humans into instant, actionable intelligence. FaceFirst helps AP
investigators build strong, detailed cases faster for coordination with law
enforcement agencies and prosecutors.
FaceFirst's face matching technology alerts retailers instantly when known
threats enter their stores, providing both life safety and loss prevention
advantages. Calculate the risks of being caught unaware
when
a known offender enters your store. If you knew there was a proven solution to
keep your valued customers and associates safer from violent offenders and
prevent loss, would you implement it? The real risk is answering no. FaceFirst's
solution is fast, accurate, and scalable-take action today at
facefirst.com. |

100K Facebook Business Accounts Targeted Weekly
Millions of Facebook Business Accounts Bitten by Python Malware
The "MrTonyScam" has a surprisingly high success rate, spreading a
Python-based stealer to some 100,000 business accounts per week.
Attackers
are targeting millions of
Facebook business accounts with malicious messages, sent via Facebook
Messenger from a botnet of fake and
hijacked personal Facebook accounts. The goal is to spread an info-stealing
malware that can intercept browsing sessions and account cookies, and
it's hitting 100,000
Facebook business accounts per week,
according to researchers.
The Python-based stealer
successfully infects about 1.4% of targets
— or about one out of 70 of those reached, Guardio Labs revealed in a blog post
on Sept. 11. Guardio has dubbed the effort the "MrTonyScam," based on the name
of the administrator of a Telegram channel with which the stealer interacts.
"Facebook’s Messenger
platform has been heavily abused in the past month to spread endless messages
with malicious attachments
from a swarm of fake and hijacked personal accounts," Oleg Zaytsev, a Guardio
Labs security researcher, wrote in the post.
From a technical standpoint,
the attack's messages contain a compressed stealer payload that targets the
victims’ installed browsers to lift session cookies;
these are then sent to threat actors' IM channels in a "swift and effective
operation," Zaytsev wrote.
The messages also contain a link that appears to be relevant to the content sent
in the message, such as a link to product to check its availability.
If clicked, the link downloads a "classic stealer" payload archived with RAR or
zip formats, which then
uses a multistep process and five layers of obfuscation to hide its content,
Zaytsev wrote. The payload also is generated on the fly to avoid static
detection.

Taking on the Growing Deepfake Threat
NSA, FBI, and CISA Release Cybersecurity Information Sheet on Deepfake Threats
Today,
the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
released a Cybersecurity Information Sheet (CSI),
Contextualizing Deepfake Threats to Organizations, which provides an
overview of synthetic media threats, techniques, and trends. Threats from
synthetic media, such as deepfakes, have exponentially increased—presenting a
growing challenge for users of modern technology and communications, including
the National Security Systems (NSS), the Department of Defense (DoD), the
Defense Industrial Base (DIB), and national critical infrastructure owners and
operators.
Between 2021 and 2022, U.S. Government agencies collaborated to establish a set
of employable best practices to take in preparation and response to the growing
threat. Public concern
around synthetic media includes disinformation operations, designed to influence
the public and spread false information about political, social, military, or
economic issues to cause confusion, unrest, and uncertainty.
The authoring agencies urge organizations review
the CSI for recommended steps and best practices to prepare, identify,
defend against, and respond to deepfake threats.
To report suspicious activity or possible incidents involving deepfakes, contact
one of the following agencies:
•
Cybersecurity Report Feedback:
CybersecurityReports@nsa.gov
•
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at

RCC's Cybercrime
Prevention Campaign
Retail Council of Canada embarks on new cybercrime awareness venture
The Retail Council of
Canada (RCC) recently launched a new cybercrime prevention campaign to
provide educational resources for retailers and their employees, from frontline
workers to IT security professionals.
The
Retail CyberSecure initiative, which kicked off at the beginning of this year,
was made possible through the support of the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor
General and includes partnerships with the RCMP and the Ontario Provincial
Police, among other organizations.
The program, which will continue to roll out throughout the year, comprises a
series of six webinars along with downloadable guides and e-learning training
modules. The resources are offered for free to achieve maximum impact, said
Rui Rodrigues, the RCC's executive advisor for loss
prevention and risk management.
The issue of cybercrime has become more acute for retailers, he said, as
threats continue to ramp up. The pandemic also saw retailers become more reliant
on online storefronts when in-store shopping was curtailed or temporarily
restricted.
"Over the last few years, we've heard more and more from retail organizations
about cyber," said Rodrigues. "You can't escape it."
The CyberSecure initiative is "really focused on ways we could educate, provide
awareness and share best practices," added Rodrigues, "and doing it through
various mediums."
Three
of the six planned webinars are currently available on the
RCC Retail CyberSecure resource website, focused on awareness training and
current cyberthreats. Webinars on threat action plans, defensive procedures,
ransomware training and brute force attacks will follow in the coming months.
Battle on two fronts
In some ways, loss prevention specialists are waging a battle on two fronts:
the threat of shoplifting in brick-and-mortar retail locations and the
ever-present spectre of cybercrime in the digital realm.
In both cases, education and awareness are key, said Rodrigues, along
with collaboration with government and likeminded organizations to get the word
out.

Canada Fighting Same Retail Crime Surge as U.S.
Vancouver shop owner frustrated by repeat violent thefts, including 'full-on
fist fight'
The
owner of a downtown Vancouver IGA branch is speaking up about the number of
violent crimes his shop has seen in recent weeks,
worried about the physical safety of his staff.
In less than a month, Anthony Sullivan said his team on Robson Street has
endured "dramatic" thefts and theft attempts, "brawls with groups of youth," and
threats with weapons.
"Every day we stop people and we never know how it's going to go," he told
Global News on Tuesday. "It's
getting worse, not easier."
On Aug. 17, Sullivan's manager was hit multiple times in the head by a group of
youth, some of whom had tried to make off with ice cream - an incident caught on
the grocery store's cameras.
Sullivan, who does not speak on behalf of the IGA chain - just his Robson Street
shop - said
something needs to change. The crime is "systemic" in
downtown Vancouver,
he added, and there doesn't appear to be much accountability for it.
Sgt. Steve Addison said
the force has worked with the Sullivan family to crack down on shoplifting for

put a public safety trailer with a surveillance camera outside the shop
to try and deter would-be thieves.
"It's heartbreaking ... people who are just going to work to earn a living are
consistently dealing with people who are committing crimes and using violence to
commit their crimes," Addison said.

Canada's Post-COVID Retail Comeback Continues
Montréal's Retail Sector Thrives with Decreased Vacancies, Increased Foot
Traffic and Exciting Developments
Overall,
there have been many improvements in
Montréal's retail sector as vacancies have decreased with foot traffic and sales
continuing to climb,
says a
new retail report by commercial real estate firm
JLL.
It said consumers are starting to feel the effects of the Bank of Canada's
interest rate hike campaign. However, notable
retail-friendly developments are currently underway, which will serve to
facilitate and encourage commercial activity on the island and beyond.
Jesse
Provost, Associate Vice President of the Retail Advisory Group for JLL, said
the retail scene is exciting in Montreal
these days with new projects such as Royalmount with new to market retailers
coming to the city. There's also quite a bit of activity on the iconic
Sainte-Catherine Street with
many retailers looking to locate on that busy retail area.
"By and large, I would say it's
pretty exciting and a good time for retailers generally in Montreal.
That being said, obviously the economy is what it is. We're seeing interest
rates continuing to increase. So people are being more cautious with their
spending. Retailers are very well aware of this," said Provost. "They're trying
to navigate those choppy waters for the next couple of quarters until we really
see results of all of this at the end of it all."

Canadian Retailers Remain Relevant Despite
Digital Shift
Remote work and hybrid learning should have killed the office supply store. Why
didn't it?
Even a global pandemic and remote learning hasn't changed the fact that, for
hundreds of thousands of students, pencil crayons and binders are still an
essential part of the back-to-school routine.
Staples Canada president Rachel Huckle
explains why:
We are seeing a real shift in education towards digital tools, rather than
just pencils and paper. How does Staples plan to ensure it remains relevant
during that shift?
I think the strength of Staples is that
we have such a great mix of the essentials and technology
- and then
we bolster that with services.
We support customers, consumers, educator, parents and students. What we're
hearing from parents is that there is still this connection between being
creative and using pencils and markers to express yourself in a meaningful way.
And so, I think, in the younger grades, you're still going to see the need and
demand for that. I think you're going to see it being bolstered by technology.
So I think there's a place for pens and markers to remain because there are
skills it'll improve, whether it is cognitive development or sensory activities.
I think our strength is that we have a great assortment of pens and markers with
all of the best tech brands - HP, Apple, Samsung, Google.
We're there to meet customers across that journey.

How Dollarama is Becoming a Player in the Canadian Grocery Landscape
With projections hinting at the possibility of surpassing 2,000 stores by 2030,
Dollarama's influence in the market is poised for substantial growth, selling
more food. For consumers, Dollarama's approach of offering only a single option
for each product may initially seem restrictive. In a world that often
celebrates choice, the idea of having just one brand of ketchup or peanut butter
may raise eyebrows. However, this simplicity lies at the heart of Dollarama's
cost-saving strategy, which directly translates into competitive pricing.

Store LP Officer Disarms Knife-Wielding Robber
Store security thwarts robbery, has knife pulled on him: Guelph police
Investigators say just before 4 p.m., a man was seen by a loss prevention
officer leaving the store with clothing that he had tried on earlier and had not
paid for. The staff member followed the man outside and tried to stop him. That
was when investigators say the man pulled out a 15-centimetre knife. They say
there was a struggle between the two before the employee gained control of the
weapon. The suspect fled but was later apprehended by police a short time later.
A search of the individual turned up a credit card in a woman's name. The
28-year-old from Guelph faces a number of charges, including robbery, possession
of a concealed weapon and violating a release order. He was held for a bail
hearing.

Amazon files fresh lawsuit against influencers
E-commerce giant Amazon has filed another legal attack against social media
influencers it accuses of using their online platforms to encourage the sale of
counterfeit luxury goods.
The lawsuit against Kamryn Russell, Ashley Hawat and various associates claims
that they used a 'hidden links' scheme, in which they posted links on their
social media pages that directed their followers to seemingly generic product
listing pages on Amazon,
that were in fact fronts for counterfeit handbags, jewellery and accessories.
According to the complaint, the defendants masked the fact that the products
infringed trademarks to avoid detection by Amazon and the rights holder, in many
cases by blurring the brand's logo, and received a commission on each completed
sale.
"These bad actors also urged their followers to buy these products before Amazon
could take down the listings."
Earlier this year, Amazon launched a
new initiative called the Anti-Counterfeiting Exchange (ACX)
that it said would allow participating retail stores to record and track serial
counterfeiters in order to create a communal database of bad actors.
It also said it had
removed more than six million counterfeit products
from its supply chain in its
annual update on brand protection activities and
blocked 800,000 attempts to create new selling accounts, while its Counterfeit
Crimes Unit (CCU) sued or referred for investigation over 1,300 criminals in the
US, UK, EU, and China.

Chinese Amazon Killer?
Is Chinese Upstart Temu an Amazon Killer?
Temu is a Chinese e-commerce app that is the top downloaded mobile application
in the U.S. so far this year.
Unless you've been living under a rock, it's hard not to have noticed the growth
of the Chinese e-commerce platform Temu over the last year. After flooding the
internet with advertisements and spending a boatload of money on two Super Bowl
commercials,
the PinDuoDuo-owned app has skyrocketed to the top of the downloads list for
mobile app stores in the United States.
Offering free shipping and huge discounts for first-time customers,
Temu has drawn interest from tens of millions of shoppers in the United States,
replicating a model that worked in the Chinese market. Have we finally found the
killer competitor to Amazon? Or is Temu just a flash in the pan?
If you look under the hood, this growth looks unsustainable. According to an
investigation by WIRED magazine,
Temu loses about $30 for every order made on its platform
as it subsidizes free shipping while also spending a boatload on marketing
expenses. And it looks like this spending isn't slowing down soon, with Temu
planning to up its advertising spend from $1.4 billion in 2023 to $4.3 billion
in 2024.
In the short run, Temu could keep growing at an impressive pace by losing money
on every order. But eventually, it will have to generate positive unit
economics, which will be tough to do when competing with Amazon's vertically
integrated e-commerce infrastructure. Amazon has spent hundreds of billions on
capital expenditures over the last decade, a lot of which has gone to delivery
vehicles, warehouses, and airplanes to help quickly deliver products to
customers. Temu has none of this infrastructure.
Unless it can somehow get hundreds of billions of dollars to build out these
capabilities (which is essentially impossible), it never will.

Fort Myers, FL: DOJ: Cape Coral Men Sentenced For Their Roles In A Multi-Million
Dollar Credit Card Fraud Scheme
U.S. District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell has
sentenced Carlos Tejeda (62, Cape Coral) to 16 years in federal prison, Juan
Tejeda (35, Cape Coral) to 15 years in federal prison, and Pedro Pelaez (59,
Cape Coral) to 6 years in federal prison for their roles in a large-scale credit
card fraud scheme which operated in Cape Coral between late-2015 and
mid-2018. On April 27, 2023, a federal jury had found father-and-son ringleaders
Carlos and Juan Tejeda guilty of 44 federal offenses, including conspiracy to
commit wire fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to commit
money laundering, production of counterfeit access devices, and possession of
device-making equipment. For his role in the fraud, the jury found Pelaez guilty
of 11 federal offenses, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud,
aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. According
to evidence presented during the seven-day trial, Carlos Tejeda recruited
several friends and associates, including Pedro Pelaez, to create shell
companies, obtain credit card processing terminals for their shell companies,
and then permit Carlos Tejeda to
swipe counterfeit credit cards fraudulently encoded with stolen credit and debit
card numbers using the shell company credit card terminals. Evidence
showed that Juan Tejeda’s primary role was to encode the counterfeit cards for
his father Carlos Tejeda, but that he personally swiped counterfeit cards on the
shell company terminals as well.
Each fraudulent transaction was typically between $1,000 and $3,000, but the
same stolen card number was often used several times across multiple shell
companies before victim cardholders from across the United States realized that
their card numbers had been compromised.

Ledgewood, NJ: 9 arrested after police thwart attempted theft totaling nearly
$500k at Ledgewood dealership
Police
in New Jersey stopped a large-scale burglary at a popular motorsports dealer in
its tracks. At around 4:12 a.m. on September 8, Roxbury Township Police
Department responded to a call for unwanted persons on the property of Ledgewood
Powersports. Little did the intruders know, they were being watched. "We see
them even before they breached," said Noelle Schmidt, owner of Ledgewood
Powersports, to Eyewitness News. Schmidt was alerted of the break-in thanks to a
highly sensitive vast security system at the property that alerted her at home.
Before a single move was made, Schmidt was watching, recording and calling
police. 10 thieves were shown on the system, driving the high-end ATVs and UTVs,
lighting them up, hoisting the smaller ones onto the larger ones to try to get
them off the lot. But they didn't realize one thing. "There's no way out," said
Schmidt. Once you're on the parameter, you can't leave except in handcuffs." Not
only does the dealership have tons of cameras, but they also reinforced the
exits and perimeter fence. 10 minutes into the incident, police already
surrounded the store.

Milwaukee, WI: Update: Deadly Gas Station shooting, Security Guard pleads not
guilty
A Milwaukee man
pleaded not guilty Tuesday, Sept. 12 to first-degree intentional homicide for a
gas station shooting on the city's north side. William Pinkin, 56, was
supposed to appear for his preliminary hearing in August – the first step toward
a trial. But because Pinkin did not have an attorney, the hearing was put on
hold at that time. He was bound over for trial after Tuesday's hearing.
Investigators said Pinkin turned himself in two days after the Aug. 16 shooting.
The complaint states 29-year-old Isaiah Allen grabbed a box of Little Debbie
snack cakes and left without paying, and a security guard – later identified as
Pinkin – got up from the back of the store, walked toward Allen and pulled out a
gun. Pinkin then rushed toward Allen, per the complaint, and got a little more
than an arm's length from him before shooting Allen in the back of the head.
Allen dropped to the ground, and surveillance showed Pinkin go back inside the
store. According to the complaint, Pinkin was at the scene when police arrived
and told responding officers – who were unaware of the surveillance video at the
time – that he did not see the shooting. That surveillance video showed Pinkin
was "milling around calmly" and at one point smoking a cigarette after the
shooting.

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.
Just a Thought, Gus
