The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
National Retail Security Survey in the News
NRF says organized retail crime is a “burgeoning threat”
Losses from retail “shrink” rose to $94.5
billion in 2021, from $90.8 billion in 2020.
A
rising tide of retail theft is a growing challenge both for retailers and
the industry at large, due increasingly to organized retail crime (ORC) rings,
the National Retail Federation (NRF) said today.
Goods stolen from stores, known as “retail shrink,” rose to $94.5 billion in
losses last year, up from $90.8 billion in 2020,
according to the NRF’s “2022 National Retail Security Survey.” The
survey found that the average shrink rate in 2021 was 1.44%, a slight decrease
from the last two years but comparable to the five-year average of 1.5%.
The thefts are occurring across all platforms, spanning in-store, e-commerce,
and omnichannel fraud, a majority of retailers said in the survey. To
address the problem, retailers say they are prioritizing reactions to
guest-on-associate violence, external theft, and ORC.
Retailers said that the problem has grown worse during the pandemic, with large
numbers of respondents citing an increase in violence (89.3%), shoplifting
(73.2%), and ORC and employee theft (tied at 71.4%). Those numbers showed a
26.5% increase in ORC as the schemes become more common.
The research showed that ORC groups commit retail crimes for their financial
benefit, and specifically target items that are concealable, removable,
available, valuable, enjoyable and disposable, also known by the acronym
CRAVED. Items that have more of these characteristics are more likely to be
stolen, highlighted by the top categories targeted: apparel, health and beauty,
electronics/appliances, accessories, food and beverage, footwear, home
furnishings and housewares, home improvement, eyewear, office supplies, infant
care, and toys.
In search of solutions, retailers are boosting spending on theft prevention
measures. The survey showed that more than half (60.3%) are increasing their
technology budget and 52.4% are increasing their capital and equipment budget as
they invest in techniques such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and
readers, computer vision at point of sale, and license plate recognition.

Store Owners Speak Out Amid Crime Surge
NYC bodega owner sends message to Biden as felony assaults soar
A bodega owner in New York City is speaking out after a shocking video reveals
another assault of a store owner in the Big Apple as felony assaults continue
to soar.
Brooklyn
bodega owner Carmelia Bello joined "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday to discuss
the need for additional policing and her message for the Biden
administration as crime continues to cripple city streets.
"I would tell President Biden, with all my respect, to jump in our shoes for one
day and see how it feels to wake up in the morning, 6:00 in the morning, open
your store and looking back and see who's going to come and stab you or what's
going to happen next," Bello told co-host Carley Shimkus.
"Because after COVID, we don't have help. Small businesses don't have no
support, and on top of that, we're dealing with criminals," she continued.
"So it's really, really, really bad."
Her message comes shortly after the NYPD released video from August 8 showing
a shoplifting suspect sucker-punch a 69-year-old bodega worker after the
employee attempted to halt the alleged theft. The attack, all caught on video,
happened midday in Long Island City.
Bello called for additional law enforcement to mitigate the trend, warning
that some criminals threaten to come "back" since they know there is a lack
of policing.
According to the NYPD,
felony assaults have soared more than 18% this year amid the surge in
violent crime. Overall crime has spiked more than 35%.

NYC Grand Larcenies, Burglaries & Robberies
Surge
The good news? NYC murders plunged in August. The bad news? Almost every other
major crime went up again
Throughout the year, crime in New York City
has shown increases in crime every month, and August was no exception.
According
to NYPD statistics, crime in New York City increased by 26%, with 11,619
crimes in August 2022 compared to 8,906 in August 2021.
Almost every category of crime increased last month. The
exceptions were murder, which saw a 54.2% decrease in August 2022 with 27
reported cases compared to August 2021, and rape, which remained the same as the
year before with 144 reported cases. The NYPD acknowledges that rape continues
to be underreported.
“Any level of violence in New York City – or anywhere – is unacceptable,” said
Chief of Department Kenneth Corey. “We know that New York City is safer today
than it was when we implemented our Summer Violence Reduction Plan in
May. ... The good news? NYC murders plunged in August. The bad news? Almost
every other major crime went up again to pick up guns and use them.”
The number of grand larcenies saw a 34.7% spike from
3,480 crimes in August 2021 to 4,687 crimes in August 2022, and
burglaries rose 31.1% from 1,034 in August 2021 to 1,356 in August 2022.
Robberies saw a 38% increase compared to August 2021 (1,630 last month
compared to 1,181 in 2021).
The NYPD reports that the number of overall shooting incidents last month was
driven down in New York City compared with August 2021, marking the
fourth-lowest number of shootings for any August in the modern CompStat era.
Citywide shooting incidents decreased in August by 30.3% (115 v. 165),
driven by steep decreases in the Bronx, southern Queens, and northern Brooklyn.
Additionally, the number of murders citywide decreased for the month by 54.2%
(27 v. 59) compared to the same period last year.

'Perfect Storm' of Crime Surge & Police
Shortage
Tourist town in North Carolina sees violent crime spike as police dwindle
Multiple local law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News Digital laid
partial blame for the deteriorating condition of a North Carolina tourist town
on the city's liberal political leadership and on left-wing activists who
undermine police.
"I think what you're seeing in Asheville right now is a culmination of the last
several years of pulling police back and not letting them do their jobs
like they're able to do," former Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan told Fox
News Digital in a phone interview.
Asheville, a city of approximately 90,000 people nestled in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Buncombe County, North Carolina, has seen a 31% surge in violent
crime per 100,000 people from 2016 to 2020, according to statistics released
in the spring. Asheville's growth in violent crime is nearly double that of the
national average and ranks among the highest in North Carolina, where violent
crime has increased 13% statewide.
Asheville has so far seen 11 homicides in 2022, setting it on pace to surpass
the homicide rate of 2021 and 2020. Rates of homelessness have increased 21%
since 2021, according to data released in May. There is also evidence of
increased Mexican drug cartel activity in the area, according to multiple law
enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News Digital.
Both the Asheville Police Department (APD) and the Buncombe County Sheriff's
Department have been hemorrhaging officers in recent years, with many retiring
early or simply quitting. APD made
international headlines in June 2021 when they announced
they would no longer respond in-person to 911 calls
about theft, fraud or trespassing after losing a third of their
force.

Major Crackdown on Illegal Vendors in San
Francisco
San Francisco Begins Major Crackdown on Illegal Street Vendors
First major target is near 24th and Mission
BART Plaza
The city of San Francisco began a new crackdown on illegal vendors and open
air drug markets on Tuesday, starting with the 24th Street BART station in
the Mission District.
For
years, rising crime in San Francisco has brought an increased number of
illegal street vendors, unlicensed sellers, more open air drug markets, and
criminals even moving into brick and mortar buildings to
sell.
San Francisco has taken numerous measures this year, many of which were
instituted by new DA Brooke Jenkins by reversing policies made by former DA
Chesa Boudin, in an effort to combat crime. At City Hall, Supervisor
Hillary Ronen wrote, and later got passed, an ordinance aimed at illegal street
vending.
A new crackdown in SF
Encouraged by this, enforcement began on Tuesday after weeks of warnings.
Public Works officials, along with San Francisco police officers,
will begin finding and removing illegal vendors.
For those that they find without a permit, their goods can be seized for as long
as 90 days, or until they get a permit. Beyond this, violations would then move
up into fines, with first time violators getting a $250 fine and up to $1,000
for a third violation.
Other laws and ordinances aimed at reducing crime are expected to continue to
be rolled out in San Francisco later this year.

San Francisco's New DA Taking Tougher Stand on
Prosecutions
SF DA announces new policy to prosecute teens as adults for 'heinous' crimes
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced a new policy Tuesday
that allows juvenile offenders to be charged as adults for "heinous" crimes.
The effort moves to abandon the policy of
recalled DA Chesa Boudin, that prohibited a juvenile to be charged as an
adult.
Jenkins says effective immediately, she's forming a "juvenile review team"
that will consider whether to recommend that a 16 or 17 year old should be tried
as an adult. "We cannot allow families of victims, we cannot allow victims
themselves, to remain without justice or accountability in very, very serious or
egregious cases," Jenkins said.
Jenkins says the review will collaborate with all parties involved, including
members of the victims' and the offenders' families. It's important to note,
that in California, DAs can only request that a juvenile be charged as an
adult. The final decision is made by a judge.

Oregon's ORC Task Force
Task force to tackle Oregon retail crime
Organized retail crime is an increasingly dire problem for retailers across the
nation, and Oregon is no exception. The phenomenon involves highly organized
groups of people committing theft on a broad scale.
OBI is participating in a task force that will bring together the state
attorney general, district attorneys, law enforcement agencies, unions and
retailers to increase communication in order to identify common problems,
share information and identify organized criminal networks.
The task force will meet monthly beginning Sept. 20. A similar effort is
underway in Washington state.

Cases Hit Lowest Level Since March 2020
Covid "End Is In Sight", Says WHO Chief
Among the recommendations, the WHO is urging
countries to invest in vaccinating 100 percent of the most at-risk groups.
The number of newly reported Covid-19 cases has dropped dramatically, the
World Health Organization said Wednesday, urging the world to seize the
opportunity to end the pandemic.
Newly reported cases of the disease, which has killed millions since being
identified in late 2019, last week fell to the lowest level since March 2020,
said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
"We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic," he told
reporters. "We are not there yet, but the end is in sight." But the world needed
to step up to "seize this opportunity", he added.

NYC's Pandemic Hangover Continues
In New York City, Pandemic Job Losses Linger
Even as the country as a whole has recovered
all of the jobs it lost during the pandemic, the city is still missing 176,000 —
the slowest recovery of any major metropolitan area.
The
darkest days of the pandemic are far behind New York City. Masks are coming
off, Times Square is packed with tourists and Midtown Manhattan lunch spots
have growing lines of workers in business suits. Walking around the city, it
often feels like 2019 again.
But the bustling surface obscures a lingering wound from the pandemic. While the
country as a whole has recently regained all of the jobs it lost early in the
health crisis, New York City is still missing 176,000, representing the
slowest recovery of any major metropolitan area, according to the latest
employment data.
New York relies more than other cities on international tourists, business
travelers and commuters, whose halting return has weighed on the workers who
cater to them — from bartenders and baggage handlers, to office cleaners and
theater ushers. A majority of the lost private sector jobs have been
concentrated in the hospitality and retail industries,
traditional pipelines into the work force for younger adults, immigrants and
residents without a college degree.
By contrast, overall employment in industries that allow for remote work,
such as the technology sector, is back at prepandemic levels.

Walmart's Surveillance & Facial Recognition
Lawsuit in the News
Walmart class action alleges retailer illegally collects, stores, uses customer
biometric data
Walmart’s
practice of collecting, storing and using customers’ biometric information
without obtaining their informed written consent violates Illinois law,
according to a recent class action lawsuit. Plaintiff James Luthe alleges that
Walmart stores in Illinois have cameras and advance
video surveillance systems that surreptitiously collect customers’ facial scans.
Additionally, Walmart allegedly uses Clearview AI software to match
customers’ facial scans against billions of facial scans in Clearview’s
facial recognition database.
The Walmart class action lawsuit says the retailer scans, collects and stores
customers’ biometric information without their knowledge or consent and does
not inform them about the specific purpose and length of time for which this
data will be collected, stored and used.
The
Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) was enacted to protect
residents’ biometric information, which includes unique identifiers like
fingerprints and facial scans. Unlike Social Security numbers or other data that
can be changed if compromised, biometric information is unique to an individual.
If a person’s biometric information is compromised, they have no recourse and
are at an increased risk of identity theft, the Illinois legislature
determined.
BIPA requires private entities to inform people in writing that their
biometric information is being collected or stored and the purpose and
length of time for which it will be stored or used. The entities must also
publish publicly available retention schedules and guidelines indicating when it
will permanently destroy the biometric data.
BIPA also prohibits companies from selling, leasing or otherwise profiting
from others’ biometric data. The Walmart class action lawsuit alleges the
retailer violates this provision of BIPA by sending customers’ facial data
through the Clearview Biometric Database without their knowledge or consent.
This new Walmart class action lawsuit is just one of many to pile up against
the retail giant in 2022. Walmart currently
faces several recalls and class action lawsuits involving allegations of
false advertising, misleading representations and failing to properly monitor
its money transfer service.

National Rail Strike Averted - Sight of Relief
for U.S. Supply Chain
Biden administration says ‘tentative’ deal reached to avoid national rail strike
The
Biden Administration announced rail companies and unions reached a
“tentative” agreement to void a national rail strike following an ongoing
labor dispute. On Thursday morning, the White House said in a statement that “better
pay, improved working conditions, and peace of mind around their health care
costs” will be given to rail workers.
President Joe Biden
said in a statement the tentative deal “will keep our critical rail
system working and avoid disruption of our economy.” Twelve unions
representing 115,000 workers agreed to the deal.
“The agreement is also a victory for railway companies who will be able to
retain and recruit more workers for an industry that will continue to be part of
the backbone of the American economy for decades to come,” Biden said.
A rail strike would have meant reduced gas production, spoiled crops, a
choked off supply of new cars and empty shelves at
stores over the holidays. Your commute may have been be snarled. And for
factory workers, there could've been temporary layoffs in the near future.
America's railroads remain crucial for keeping the US economy running smoothly.
They carry nearly 30% of the nation's freight, measured by the distance
traveled and the weight of the cargo, according to the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics. And there really isn't an alternative if the trains stop running.

How to Spot Suicidal Behaviors in the Workplace
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month—an effort to destigmatize
suicide, educate the public on the importance of mental health care and provide
prevention resources to those who need them.
Nearly 46,000 people in the U.S. died by suicide in 2020, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An additional 12.2 million
adults seriously contemplated suicide, 3.2 million planned a suicide attempt and
1.2 million attempted suicide.
Signs of Suicidal Ideations in the Workplace
According to health insurance company Cigna, employees who grapple with suicidal
ideations could:
●
Make direct statements about ending their life.
● Make indirect comments like "What's the point of living?,"
"Life is meaningless," etc.
● Talk or write about death or dying, including in social
media posts.
● Give away their possessions.
● Ask about life insurance policy details, particularly
related to cause of death.
● Show interest in end-of-life affairs, such as making a will
or discussing funeral preferences.
● Exhibit noticeable changes in behavior or mood, such as
appearing uncharacteristically sad, quiet or withdrawn.
● Neglect work, appearance or hygiene.
● Voice hopelessness or helplessness.

Good Retail Data
US Retail Sales Unexpectedly Rise After Drop in Prior Month
US retail sales unexpectedly rose in August after declining a month earlier,
as consumer demand for goods broadly held up but showed signs of moderating amid
historic inflation.
The value of overall retail purchases increased 0.3% last month after a
downwardly revised 0.4% drop in July, Commerce Department data showed
Thursday. Excluding gasoline, retail sales were up 0.8%. The figures aren’t
adjusted for inflation.
Eight of 13 retail categories grew last month, according to the report,
including a surge in sales at auto dealers. Purchases at furniture stores,
health and personal care stores and nonstore retailers declined. The value of
sales at gas stations slumped again, reflecting cheaper fuel prices.

Growing Retail Cybersecurity Threats
Self-Checkouts, IoT And The Rise Of Cyber Security Threats In Retail
Cyber security threats are a rising concern for retail companies as they
increasingly adopt self-checkouts through Apple, Google Pay or other payment
platforms. Since 2005, retailers have seen over 10,000 data breaches, mainly due
to flaws and vulnerabilities in payment systems.
Point of sale (POS) systems often utilize a plethora of external hardware,
software, and cloud-based components.
“At minimum, retailers must ensure that their contracted party complies with
them and will observe the same security compliance requirements that the company
itself has. There are numerous opportunities for a cybercriminal to take
advantage of the system, whether this be at the source of the vendor providing
the solution or when the technology is deployed onsite.
"Exploiting a vulnerability in the software used on POS devices (or even in the
back-end cloud services) could allow a cybercriminal to deploy malware on the
POS device. This would further enable them to harvest financial data,
inflict a malware attack such as ransomware or to use the device to connect to
other internal systems,” said Chief Security Evangelist, Tony Anscombe from ESET.
Cyber-attacks' effects on retailers may include hefty fines, penalties, data
loss, financial losses, and reputational damage.
There are also
security threats that users face when using IoT devices in retail. Over
84 percent of organizations use
IoT devices. However, less than 50% have taken solid security measures
against cyber-attacks. For instance, most organizations use the same passwords
for a long time, which increases brute force attacks, enabling hackers to steal
and manipulate data.
IoT devices can be used to track customers' movements and purchase histories,
and hackers could potentially gain access to this data. Additionally,
customers could be at risk of being scammed when using payment platforms such as
Apple Pay. These scams can take many forms, such as fake apps that steal
personal information or websites that trick customers into entering their credit
card details.
Each IoT device has its own software supply chain inside. This is because the
code that runs the device is actually a combination of several closed and open
source projects. As such one of the most immediately present threats is the
exposure of clients’ sensitive or even personal information with cyber fraud.
“This is different from other digital scams, like phishing and other types of
social engineering” said Tshuva.

Cyberattacks Becoming Faster & More Intrusive
Cyberattacks Are Now Increasingly Hands-On, Break Out More Quickly
Interactive intrusion campaigns jumped
nearly 50%, while the breakout time between initial access and lateral movement
shrank to less than 90 minutes, putting pressure on defenders to react quickly.
Attackers
are increasingly taking a hands-on approach to network intrusions,
usually avoiding using malware; they have also reduced the time it takes to
move from an initial compromise to infecting other systems in a network.
That's according to cybersecurity services firm CrowdStrike, which found in a
report published Tuesday that both targeted attacks and interactive intrusions
have increased overall. For the 12 months ending in June, targeted attacks
accounted for 18% of all attacks, up from 14% for the prior 12 months,
according to the firm's telemetry.
Attackers also focused on interactive intrusions that take a hands-on approach
to compromises, with an almost 50% increase in such attacks, the company
found. Unsurprisingly, the increase in hands-on attacks meant less reliance on
malware — 71% of all events detected by CrowdStrike indicated malware-free
activity, the company said.
The technology sector continued to be the focus of the most attacks, with
nearly 20% of attacks targeting the industry sector, while telecommunications
became the second most targeted at 10%, and manufacturing accounting for
about 8% of attacks. Cybercriminal attacks accounted for 43% of all security
incidents investigated by CrowdStrike,
the firm stated in the report.

Solving the Cybersecurity Staffing Shortage
Lack of diversity is biggest talent gap facing federal cyber workforce
In our current global political climate, nation states’ cyber attacks on
governments have become just as probable as data breaches from individual
hackers. At this point, federal leaders are acutely aware that we don’t have the
cybersecurity personnel in place to combat these types of threats – but
what’s really to blame for the shortage?
For years, experts have lasered in on the cybersecurity talent gaps that exist
in federal and state governments; there simply aren’t enough highly-skilled
cybersecurity experts to combat modern threats. To address these deficits,
agency leaders must focus on reskilling and upskilling a workforce that
represents the comprehensive viewpoints required to combat the various threats
the U.S. is facing. And then, they must ensure the working environment is
well-positioned to accommodate—read: retain—these individuals.
Today’s cybersecurity assailants—and the risks they pose—are diverse, agile, and
more often than not, unpredictable. They’re anything but homogeneous, and the
federal government requires a cyber workforce that’s as diverse as our
adversaries.

Cannabis Killings, Robberies, Extortion
California can’t stop its booming illegal cannabis stores
The
continuing success of illegal cannabis shops and the struggles of legal ones in
the heart of L.A.’s Eastside offer a stark illustration of how California’s
legalization of marijuana has gone wrong. Far from being eradicated, the
black market is booming in plain sight, luring customers away from aboveboard
retailers with their cheaper — if untested and unregulated — product.
Unlicensed dispensaries have become hotbeds of crime. Sometimes the
operators are the perpetrators, authorities say, selling cocaine and
methamphetamine alongside cannabis. At other times, they are the victims. In
August 2021, a man was gunned down in the doorway of the illegal dispensary
he ran in East Los Angeles.
Authorities have made little progress in curbing the cannabis black market.
Prosecutions are rare, according to court records, and shop employees say
some dispensaries don’t even wait a day to reopen after being shut down by
the police.
“I don’t see it slowing down,” said one security guard at an illegal dispensary
that has been raided four times in the last year and a half. “Just look up
and down the street. It’s everywhere. And everyone’s making money.”
In the battle over black-market and legal cannabis, Indiana Street is a dividing
line. To its west is the city of Los Angeles, where local laws allow retail
cannabis businesses to operate, provided the required licenses and permits
are obtained.
On the other side of Indiana Street is East Los Angeles, unincorporated
county land where cannabis licenses are not issued and it remains illegal
for anyone to operate a dispensary.

Security is 'Top of Mind' for Cannabis
Operators
Manhattan Smoke Shop Robberies Suggest Perils Ahead for Legal Pot Sellers
New York’s first licensed retail weed establishments are expected to open
in early 2023. But a slate of smoke shop robberies could point toward a cloudy
future.
A recent spate of robberies at tobacco shops in Manhattan point to the dangers
that could lie ahead for stores selling marijuana. At the end of August,
thieves
reportedly stole $30,000 worth of property from the newly-opened Exotic
Smoke Shop, on Columbus Avenue between West 83rd and 84th streets.
Earlier in the month, the Lincoln Convenience smoke shop on Broadway and West
71st Street was robbed twice in three days — with a 29-year-old customer
getting shot in the foot during that second robbery, a clerk who was there later
told THE CITY. The suspects allegedly made off with cash and cannabis-derived
CBD oil,
according to the West Side Rag.
In late May, a pair of men held up a smoke shop on West 25th Street near 6th
Avenue in
Chelsea. In February, two men robbed and assaulted a worker at another one
on John Street in the
Financial District.
While the state Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has sent a handful of
cease-and-desist letters to 14 smoke shops in New York City, there are dozens
more openly offering cannabis products, as are sellers in vans, under sidewalk
tents, and on foot around the city and in its parks.
New York Police Department officials did not respond to questions from THE CITY
about what their approach would be once legal dispensaries opened. Asked for
statistics on how many smoke shops have been robbed, a spokesperson for the NYPD
said that “data is not broken down to that level of specificity.”
In states with legal marketplaces, “security is top of
mind for our members” said Khadijah Tribble, CEO of the US Cannabis
Council, a trade association, who noted that “the regulated cannabis industry in
the U.S. generated over $20 billion in revenue last year but is forced by
federal law” — which still treats cannabis as a
Schedule I substance, so that banks have largely cut off licensed sellers —
“to rely overwhelmingly on cash transactions, posing a serious risk to public
safety.”

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
CPTED for Cannabis Businesses (Pt. 2)
CPTED
or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design is the approach to crime
prevention that utilizes architecture, urban planning, and facility management
to deter criminal acts. When properly utilized, CPTED is an extremely
successful method of crime prevention for any business, especially high-risk
businesses like those in the cannabis industry. While CPTED has been tried
and tested since the mid-1900s, newer methods and modifications have arisen
throughout the years – otherwise known as second-generation CPTED. This article
will build on
our first CPTED for cannabis article by highlighting some of the key
differences between the two generations, as well as offering pointers on how
your business can use these methods to better protect your properties.
What is Second Generation CPTED?
First-generation CPTED focuses on many of the physical aspects of a
property. However, because of numerous studies and experiments, CPTED has
had some of its key components shift around in favor of newer, more modern
methods. The principles that second generation CPTED focuses on are: social
cohesion, threshold capacity, community culture, and connectivity. Through
these concepts, second-generation CPTED emphasizes safety and crime prevention
through the inclusion of the community. Utilizing a focus on small-scale
environments, second-generation CBTED differs from first-generation CPTED in the
concept of coherent community-building.
How Can Cannabis Businesses Implement Second Generation
CPTED?
One of the main factors in building an engaged community through
second-generation CPTED is fostering an area that residents can take pride
in. The most direct way to achieve this is through beautification and community
layout. In the simplest terms, a visually appealing neighborhood tends to
instill more pride in those who live there compared to those who do not. This,
in turn, encourages those residents to look after their neighborhoods as they
tend to want to preserve the area. Beautification can come through various
avenues such as city planning – including a sufficient number of sidewalks,
well-thought-out street design, and adequate lighting.

Amazon Sued Over 'Anti-Competitive Practices'
California sues Amazon over third-party contracting
Attorney General Rob Bonta accused the e-commerce giant of engaging in
anti-competitive practices.
California
is challenging Amazon in a case that could reshape the e-commerce giant’s
business model by forcing it to lift restrictions on third-party vendors.
State Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Wednesday that his office was
suing Amazon for requiring merchants to enter agreements that penalize them if
they offer their products elsewhere for lower prices. Bonta, a Democrat,
argued that Amazon has violated California laws barring anti-competitive
practices by shutting out competitors and effectively cementing higher prices
— and he is seeking a court order barring Amazon from requiring third-party
contracts that limit price competition, along with restitution for merchants and
other financial penalties.
“Amazon makes consumers think they are getting the lowest prices possible, when
in fact, they cannot get the low prices that would prevail in a freely
competitive market because Amazon has coerced and induced its third-party
sellers and wholesale suppliers to enter into anticompetitive agreements on
price,” the complaint alleges. “The intent and effect of these agreements is to
insulate Amazon from price competition, entrenching Amazon’s dominance,
preventing effective competition, and harming consumers and the California
economy.”
Bonta cast the lawsuit as a means to ensure Californians are not paying
inflated prices during a time of rising costs.
“Through its illegal actions, the quote ‘everything store’ has effectively
set a price floor costing Californians more for just about everything,”
Bonta said at a news conference in San Francisco.
An Amazon spokesperson said in a statement that Bonta “had it exactly
backwards,” arguing a victory by California would result in higher prices.

95% of Online Pharmacies are Operating
Illegally
Counterfeit Medications Are Taking Over the Internet. Here’s How to Spot Them.
The internet is home to a unique cast of villains, ominous figures we’re all
cautioned about: cyber bullies, identity thieves, hackers, seedy strangers. But
at this particularly dismal moment in (digital) history, the web’s most devious
characters are not merely phishing scammers looking to con you into sharing your
credit card info, but rather, more seemingly innocuous players: online
pharmacies.
“A 2021 survey by the Global Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies found that
95% of online pharmacies are operating illegally,” says VICE News host
and medical researcher Avisha Nessaiver. “That means, often, they’re peddling
fake drugs that may be laced with illegal substances.”
In a post-quarantine world, we’ve come to embrace virtual spaces as valid
alternatives to things like in-person doctor visits and therapy sessions more
than ever before — and as digital pharma becomes a more trusted resource,
we’re seeing a major uptick in online unlicensed pharmacies selling medicines
without prescriptions at discount prices to unwitting patients.

Newman, GA: Theft ring targeting The Home Depot stores nationally, busted in
Coweta County
Coweta
County authorities have busted a suspected theft ring targeting Home Depot
stores nationwide. Deputies say they seized two minivans full of large plastic
storage bins. Those bins were stolen from The Home Depot store in Newnan,
investigators say. Inside, the bins were packed with stolen tools and batteries.
Forty-seven items were seized totaling more than $9,000 in store merchandise.
"The individuals who put the items in the totes, sealed the totes, put them in a
shopping cart, and then go by all points of sale. Once they go past all points
of sale, they would run to their vehicles, put the totes in their vehicles, and
then flee the area," said Coweta County Sheriff’s Deputy Antonio Vives.
The investigation started when a Newnan police investigator suspected the thefts
and followed the minivans and contacted the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies arrived and pulled over the vans. Investigators say five people are
responsible for thefts at various Home Depot stores across the nation totaling
more than $300,000 in merchandise. "So, there were two mini vans, each
minivan had two individuals in it, and there was also one individual who was
identified as a sort of ring leader, who went out and identified what objects he
wanted stolen. And the other four individuals would put the items in the totes
and they would actually commit the theft," said Deputy Vives.

Berks County, PA: Two charged with $10,000 shoplifting spree in 4 municipalities
Two Berks County men have been charged with stealing over $10,000 worth of
electrical wire, cable and other merchandise from home improvement stores in
four municipalities in the county this summer. Anthony T. Serrano, 45, of the
1800 block of Morgantown Road, Cumru Township, and William C. Price, 60, of the
first block of West Madison Street, Mohnton, face felony retail theft and
conspiracy counts filed by police in Exeter, Spring Township and Caernarvon
townships and Wyomissing. Investigators said the pair went on a crime spree,
hitting Lowe's and The Home Depot, during the morning and early afternoon hours
in August. According to investigators: They would enter the stores together with
a large shopping cart, head straight to the electrical aisle and load spools of
wire, cable and, in some of the cases, window air conditioner units. One of the
men would push the cart out of the store, bypassing checkout.

Lower Allen Township, PA: Retail thieves steal $9,500 worth of underwear from
Capital City Mall Victoria's Secret
Police in Cumberland County are investigating a pair of suspected retail theft
incidents last month at a Victoria's Secret store in the Capital City Mall.
Suspects made off with more than $9,500 worth of women's underwear in the
separate incidents, which occurred 13 days apart, according to Lower Allen
Township Police. Police have identified a suspect in the earlier incident, which
occurred around 4:19 p.m. on August 6.
According to police, a suspect later identified as Nikol Garzon-Velandia, 25,
emptied several drawers of underwear into shopping bags and fled with $3,750
worth of merchandise. She allegedly left the area in a silver Chevrolet Cruze,
which police say was involved in a hit-and-run incident in the mall parking lot.
Garzon-Velandia is charged with retail theft in the incident. A warrant has been
issued for her arrest, police say. Police are attempting to identify two
suspects in the second incident, which occurred in the same store at about 6:30
p.m. on August 19. According to police, two female suspects worked together to
steal 220 pairs of underwear valued at $5,799.

Philadelphia, PA: Philly Man Has 18 Current Retail Theft Cases, 15 Convictions
In Levittown Area & Beyond
A Philadelphia man is facing a slew of cases after authorities say he was
involved in retail thefts in the Levittown area and around the entire
Philadelphia area. According to court records, 43-year-old Joshua Burden, of
Philadelphia, has totaled 18 pending retail theft cases. The latest case was
docketed as this story was being prepared for publication. One recent criminal
complaint notes Burden has 15 prior retail theft convictions across
Pennsylvania. Further review of court records shows he has been charged for
retail theft an additional 18 times since June across Bucks, Montgomery,
Chester, and Delaware counties. None of the dockets show an arrest being made on
the date of the alleged offense, meaning charges were filed and he was arraigned
after the fact. In each case, Burden was charged with at least one count of
felony retail theft, and most dockets carry additional counts of receiving
stolen property and related offenses. Since Burden was taken into custody on
Sept. 6, court records show a variety of bail settings and adjustments across
the 17 cases in four counties. Each active case has its own bail setting, with
the range spanning $100 up to 10 percent of $30,000.

Fort Walton Beach, FL: Chick-fil-A worker praised for helping a woman with a

The
Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office is praising a Chick-fil-A employee in Florida
who they said rushed to the aid of a woman who was being carjacked. The woman
was getting a baby out of her vehicle outside the restaurant in Fort Walton
Beach when a man wielding a stick approached and demanded her keys, the
sheriff's office said in a news release Wednesday. The man then grabbed the keys
from the waistband of the woman's pants, opened the vehicle's door and got
inside, the release said. Hearing the woman's shouts for help, an employee
rushed to intervene, deputies said. The employee, identified by the operator of
the Chick-fil-A as Mykel Gordon, got into a physical struggle with the suspect,
who punched Gordon in the face, the release said. As the two tangled in the
parking lot, others came to help subdue the suspect, a video shared on Twitter
by the sheriff's office shows.

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.
