INFORM Consumers Act Update


Retailers: Consumers Deserve Peace of Mind When Shopping Online

INFORM Will Help Protect Consumers, Combat Organized Retail Crime

Washington, DC - RILA Senior Executive Vice President, Public Affairs Michael Hanson issued the following statement as the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing, “Cleaning Up Online Marketplaces: Protecting Against Stolen, Counterfeit, and Unsafe Goods”.

“Today’s hearing will expose the exponential growth of criminals selling counterfeit and stolen goods through online third-party marketplaces. The anonymity afforded con artists and criminal networks has allowed dangerous knockoffs, tampered products, and stolen goods to flourish, putting consumers and communities at risk.

“As we will learn from the hearing witnesses today, this problem not only hurts consumers, but it impacts businesses large and small, and has a significant impact on the U.S. economy, as well. The INFORM Consumers Act would require basic transparency and verification on e-commerce platforms, making it harder for bad actors to hide behind screennames and fake business information. Transparency is key to breaking this corrosive and illegal business model of those peddling counterfeit and stolen goods. It’s a commonsense, bipartisan solution that retailers large and small, and now the majority of e-commerce platforms support.”

“We’re glad that Congress is shining a light on this issue now and are hopeful that a solution is within reach so consumers can shop with confidence that the items they bring into their homes are safe.” rila.org

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Nearly 600 Mass Shootings So Far in 2021 - 611 in All of 2020
At least 12 people were killed and 64 injured in Halloween weekend mass shootings across the US
Two people were killed and at least another dozen were injured as shots rang out a house party in Illinois where people were gathering for Halloween. It was one of at least 11 mass shootings in the US over the holiday weekend, including several at places where crowds had assembled.

The violence left at least 12 people dead and another 64 injured, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from Gun Violence Archive and local news and police reports. CNN defines a mass shooting as an incident with four or more people killed or wounded by gunfire, excluding the shooter.

The number of mass shootings in the US increased during the coronavirus pandemic. There have been 599 mass shootings so far this year, according to the archive. There were 611 in 2020 and 417 in 2019, the group said.

The increase in mass shootings during the pandemic is consistent with the notion that the violence may be influenced by social and economic factors, researchers have said.

Over the weekend, gunfire erupted at house parties, a boxing event and on the streets. mercurynews.com foxnews.com

Violent Crime in Chicago Set to Surpass 2020
Chicago crime numbers released: Shootings, murders up compared to October 2020

The Chicago Police Department released its October crime report Monday. In Chicago, the violent crime is still on track to top 2020.

Through the end of October this year, compared to the same period last shootings are up 9%, shooting victims are up 8.6% and murders are up 3%. Carjackings are at an all time high and up more that 26% compared to last year.

Monday Chicago Police Supt David Brown also noted the positives. His officers have seized a record number of illegal guns from the street and making inroads in clearance rates for murder cases.

Still, the increase in shootings, murders and carjackings, especially in previously lower crime areas, like downtown, are an issue.

“I think what works is whole of government approach,” Brown said. “We’ve seen that in the pilot program over the summer. One of those beats had a 75% reduction in homicides.”

Brown believes much of the rise in crime is attributed to a lack of consequences, as younger criminals believe they won’t pay the price with time behind bars. wgntv.com

Crime & Policing Dominate Today's Elections
Mayoral races stay focused on police practices, rising crime
Voters across the U.S. will pick new city leaders Tuesday from candidates who have been largely defined by their stances on police and crime.

Those issues came to the forefront in cities big and small after the death of George Floyd last year led to a national reckoning on racial injustice and law enforcement. The debate centered on questions of when and where police are needed — or sometimes whether they’re needed at all. It also unfolded amid an increase in homicides in the wake of the pandemic.

In some big cities, fear or a desire for a middle-ground approach elevated candidates seen as more supportive of law enforcement or who have rejected liberal calls to defund the police. In Minneapolis, where Floyd was killed, the push for change could upend law enforcement practices and help decide who leads the city.

In New York City, Democrat and former police captain Eric Adams is expected to cruise to victory as the next mayor. Adams’ triumph in a crowded Democratic primary contest this past summer came after he struck a nuanced stance on policing and crime. He has not embraced calls from some progressives to defund the police by shifting money from law enforcement to social work and other programs aimed at addressing the root causes of crime.

In Atlanta, rising crime rates and a spate of high-profile killings have many residents saying that they would like to balance policing and racial justice. Former Mayor Kasim Reed is seeking to return to office as a top contender in a crowded nonpartisan race that will likely result in a runoff.

Reed cited the crime surge as the motivation for his campaign for a third term. He has told voters that the low crime rate during his tenure and the hundreds of police offices he once hired make him the best choice. wivb.com

Will Minneapolis 'Defund the Police'?
Police Reform Is On The Ballot Today In Minneapolis. But It’s About More Than Defunding The Police.
On June 7, 2020, in the wake of the high-profile murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, nine members of the City Council made a public statement: The police department couldn’t just be “reformed” — public safety in the city would have to be drastically altered. On that summer afternoon, large white letters leaning against the stage spelled out “Defund Police.”

The slogan can take many forms in practice, from reallocating part of the police budget to social services to setting up accountability structures. Often it’s an outright misnomer, simply a way for criminal-justice activists to express their anguish and frustration with the repeated killings of people of color at the hands of police.

Such is the case now in Minneapolis, where on Tuesday voters will decide the fate of City Question 2, a municipal ballot measure that would replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety under the City Council’s control. The debate leading up to the vote shows just how much one idea can take on wildly different meanings. Just like “defund the police,” Question 2 is more than the sum of its parts.

Question 2 is a “defund the police” proposal that doesn’t actually defund the police. Instead, it hopes to make police more accountable by creating a broader approach to public safety. Except it might not do that either, depending on how other city races pan out. In a contentious election year marked by a citywide increase in gun violence, the proposal has become a way for citizens to express their feelings on a whole range of issues. As Pugh put it, “It’s not what you say. It’s what people hear.”

At its core, Question 2 wouldn’t eliminate the police department, but the city would no longer be required to have a formal police department or minimum police staffing levels that have been mandated since 1961. The question would also create a new Department of Public Safety that could include both police and other kinds of safety officers, such as therapists, social workers or violence interrupters. And the city’s hierarchy would change, too. The new system would have police answering to the head of the Department of Public Safety, who would answer to both the mayor and City Council. fivethirtyeight.com

Minnesota police referendum one of the top races today
Here are the major 2021 races to watch
Voters across the country head to the polls Tuesday to decide a series of races that will test the national political landscape and the direction of the Democratic Party a year into Joe Biden's presidency.

Minnesota police referendum
Voters in Minneapolis, nearly a year-and-a-half after the murder of George Floyd, will go to the ballot box with a chance to either approve or reject a referendum that would significantly overhaul policing in the city. The referendum is being watched nationally as a test of the "defund the police" movement, a controversial slogan that gained traction among progressives in the wake of Floyd's killing and has since been used against Democrats across the country.

If the measure passes, the city would create a Department of Public Safety, eliminate a requirement on the number of officers the city must have and split control of the new department between the city council and the mayor. cnn.com

Leading Minnesota Democrats skip campaigning against policing question

Three oppose Mpls. ballot question but haven't campaigned against it.

More than a year after George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police, the divide over Question 2 has torn through established partisan political lines. With polls closing Tuesday, U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith and Gov. Tim Walz have made their opposition clear but appear to be staying away from actively campaigning to defeat the measure.

The ballot question is a complicated one for Democratic politicians, said Kathryn Pearson, a University of Minnesota political science professor. It's a rare local measure that has attracted statewide and national attention.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, both progressives who live in Minneapolis, are working to see Question 2 pass. startribune.com

Carjacking Trend on the Rise Nationwide in a Slew of Cities
In Minneapolis more than 440 carjackings in Minneapolis have been reported in 2021, a 38% increase compared with last year, according to city statistics. Similar to a slew of cities where these incidents have been on the rise in recent months the crimes largely committed by juveniles.

As of Oct. 25, there were 436 carjackings in 2021. Despite the spike in carjackings, overall robbery cases increased by just 7% and robberies of businesses dropped by 6%. startribune.com

Just 34 NYPD Cops Didn't Comply With Vaccine Mandate
Here’s how many NYPD cops are on unpaid leave over vaccine mandate
Only a few a dozen NYPD members were placed on unpaid leave Monday after refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine — but thousands of unvaccinated employees remain on the job with pending exemption requests, the city’s top cop said.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said 34 cops and 40 civilian members of the force — which account for fewer than .15 percent of NYPD employees — did not comply with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s mandate requiring most city workers to get their first jab by Monday.

“That’s very fluid. That could go up as the day goes on,” said Shea referring to NYPD members forced on unpaid leave, while adding that applications for medical or religious exemptions are still pending.

“It could also go down and people get their vaccinations,” he added at the mayor’s daily press conference.

The NYPD’s current vaccination rate was 85 percent Monday morning, which reflects a nearly 15-point jump from the start of last week, leaving just under 8,000 uniformed and civilian members without the jab. wmleader.com

LA Vax Mandate Causing Mass Cop Exodus?
Sheriff warns vaccine mandate causing ‘mass exodus’ among personnel
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva continues to rail against the county’s vaccine mandate, warning it is causing a “mass exodus” in his department and threatens public safety at a time when violent crime is on the rise.

“I have repeatedly stated the dangers to public safety when 20% to 30% of my workforce is no longer available to provide service, and those dangers are quickly becoming a reality,” Villanueva said in a statement that he posted on social media last week. “We are experiencing an increase in unscheduled retirements, worker compensation claims, employees quitting, and a reduction in qualified applicants.”

As a result, he said, homicide rates in the county would continue to rise, while response times increase and patrol services decline.

“With the pandemic waning, there is no justification for the board mandate,” Villanueva said. “It is like putting up the storm windows after the storm has passed.

Under an executive order ratified by the Board of Supervisors in August, all Los Angeles County employees were required to register their vaccination status by Oct. 1 on an online portal, though religious and medical exceptions are allowed.

More than half of the Sheriff’s Department’s 16,084 employees are fully vaccinated, according to preliminary data collected by the county. Nearly 300 are semi-vaccinated, 2,327 are not vaccinated and 1,843 are seeking exemptions. latimes.com

Rolling Back Mask Requirements - Again
Amazon lifts mask mandate for fully vaccinated warehouse workers

Starting on Tuesday, Amazon will no longer require fully vaccinated U.S. warehouse employees to wear masks at work, unless mandated by state or local law.

Amazon is rolling back its mask requirement for fully vaccinated warehouse workers.

Starting Tuesday, fully vaccinated operations employees in the U.S. will no longer be required to wear a face covering at work, unless mandated by state or local law, according to a notice Amazon sent to workers Friday that was viewed by CNBC.

“Vaccines are universally available across the U.S. and vaccination rates continue to rise which enables the ability to return to our previous mask policy,” the notice states.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the company is changing its mask policy in warehouses. Amazon continues to evaluate all of its Covid safety measures based on guidance from public health officials and internal medical experts, the spokesperson added.

Amazon in August resumed its mask mandate for all frontline employees, regardless of their vaccination status, amid a surge in Covid-19 cases due to the highly contagious delta variant. cnbc.com

“For more than nine decades, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has served to bring joy to millions, who gather with friends and family to experience this one-of-a-kind holiday celebration along the streets of New York City and in homes nationwide,” said Will Coss, Executive Producer of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “For our 95th celebration, Macy’s has created a spectacle to remember featuring a dazzling array of high-flying balloons, animated floats and incredible performers.

Just the Beginning of Travel Chaos
Canceled Flights and Crowded Airports: Brace Yourself for Holiday Travel

Staffing shortages have already disrupted travelers’ plans, and it could get worse with more people planning to fly between Thanksgiving and New Year’s

This won’t be a normal holiday travel season. Travelers had best plan accordingly.

Multiple airlines have sold more tickets this year than they can accommodate. Normal weather disruptions or temporary hiccups have cascaded into major meltdowns because of staffing shortages. Airlines haven’t had enough spare crews to recover normally, so customers end up stranded for long periods. Any bad weather or other problems at the holidays could spell trouble for travelers.

American Airlines is the latest example of this lack of reserve capacity. High winds in Dallas slowed American last week. And the airline says a lack of flight attendants led to 2,000 canceled flights over the weekend and into Monday. More than half of the cancellations came on Sunday, when American scrubbed about 20% of its schedule.

This now-familiar pandemic travel pattern began with the summer travel surge that brought widespread delays and cancellations at American, Spirit and Southwest. All struggled at times to handle crowds while still rebuilding their own staffing. Contractors that provide fuel, wheelchair service, cleaning and other necessities also saw worker shortages. wsj.com

Luring Workers Back to the Office
Businesses Lease Trophy Space to Stoke Return to the Office
Businesses trying to wean employees off remote work and lure them back to the office are spending more than ever on upscale workspaces, reaching deep into their pockets to pay high rents for modern, amenity-rich buildings.

These new office digs offer custom-built lounges, game rooms with ping-pong tables and foosball, and apps that enable employees to contact building security or order a burger from the company cafeteria. The state-of-the art office towers also emphasize sanitation, outdoor space and sustainability, featuring robust ventilation systems and outside dining areas with fire pits.

Many firms are swallowing hard while paying the steeper rents that accompany all these extras. But they believe the costs are necessary to draw employees back into offices and to help recruit and retain talent in a tight labor market. wsj.com

Prosegur Security to Begin Offering Free EAS Systems Supported by Advertising

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. (November 02, 2021)Prosegur Security, a global leader in security technology, has launched EVO, the world’s first EAS system with an integrated ad platform that can pay for itself through advertising revenue. The EVO system features monitors that play retailer-approved ads at store entrances, managed remotely by Prosegur and its technology partner Ineo.

“Silicon Valley and even major online retailers have created major revenue generation platforms through advertising. EAS is strategically placed in one of the most important locations inside the physical store where consumers can be influenced to buy more,” said Tony D’Onofrio, CEO of Prosegur’s global retail business unit. “It is time for EAS to evolve into a powerful AI cloud-supported advertising platform with increased security and operational features. The EVO system’s large monitors can play a welcome message, information on mask-wearing and social distancing, store’s current specials and more. Best of all, brands are willing to pay to have their ads appear on the screens too, offsetting or completely paying for the cost of the system itself.”

The EVO system is built on a patented EAS media integration platform developed by Prosegur’s partner INEO, which allows for automated and remote management of ads across the entire store chain. Ads can be regionally-targeted, or even made unique for one specific location.

“We are excited to partner with Prosegur, a global security leader, on the launch of the EVO system,” said Kyle Hall, CEO of Ineo. “EVO comes packed with the best-in-class loss prevention features, including a built-in camera which captures a 15-second video of any alarm event, and can send notifications by email or text. Most importantly, EVO comes with built-in store analytics supported by AI, which can provide store traffic count as well as certain demographics info, such as gender, age, and even customer satisfaction rating. All the data is easily accessible to the retailer through a cloud-based dashboard, which can be customized.”

More information about Prosegur’s new EVO system can be obtained at the company’s website where retailers can also register their interest to join the free system rollout program.

Cybersecurity Spending Hangs in the Political Balance
Cybersecurity funding is at stake in Democrats' spending battles

The largest-ever investment in the nation's cybersecurity is hanging in the balance as Democrats continue to spar over two mammoth spending bills.

The bipartisan infrastructure bill and the Democrats’ $1.75 trillion social spending deal together would commit about $2.5 billion to cybersecurity. Provisions would boost federal government cyber operations and raise protections against ransomware and other cyberattacks for state and local governments and critical infrastructure, such as the energy grid.

The spending would effectively reverse course on a decade of inadequate cyber spending that’s been out of step with the surging threats to government and industry. But that investment is in limbo as moderate and progressive Democrats tangle over the size of the spending package.

We have significantly underinvested in cybersecurity for decades at this point, and this would be the first time in a long time that we’re really upping our investment and perhaps meeting the need in some areas,” Ari Schwartz, a former top White House cyber official during the Obama administration, told me.

What if one or both bills fail to make it into law? “We’d just continue to do this in an underfunded way,” Schwartz said. “That just means the investment we’d have to make in the future is going to have to be bigger. You wouldn’t get the benefit of having the right people in the workforce and the right tools in place.”

U.S. intelligence officials have for years treated the danger from cyber threats as at least on a par with threats from foreign terrorism. But Washington has never invested in protecting the nation's critical infrastructure against cyberattacks in the way it surged funding to terrorism protections after 9/11. washingtonpost.com

Ransomware Remains the 'Prime Threat'
Cybersecurity threat landscape growing in sophistication, complexity and impact
The 9th edition of the ENISA Threat Landscape (ETL) report released by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity highlights the surge in cybercriminality motivated by monetization using ransomware or cryptojacking. It covers a period of reporting starting from April 2020 up to July 2021.

AdvertisementCybersecurity threats are on the rise. Ransomware ranks as a prime threat for the reporting period. For each of the identified threats, attack techniques, notable incidents and trends are identified alongside recommendations. The report also features a list of trends concerning threat actors.

EU Agency for Cybersecurity Executive Director, Juhan Lepassaar stated that “Given the prominence of ransomware, having the right threat intelligence at hand will help the whole cybersecurity community to develop the techniques needed to best prevent and respond to such type of attacks. Such an approach can only rally around the necessity now emphasized by the European Council conclusions to reinforce the fight against cybercrime and ransomware more specifically.”

The cybersecurity threat landscape is growing in terms of sophistication of attacks, complexity and impact. Such a trend is spurred by an ever-growing online presence, the transitioning of traditional infrastructures to online solutions, advanced interconnectivity and the exploitation of new features of emerging technologies.

Without surprise, supply-chains attacks rank highly among prime threats because of the significant potential they have in inducing catastrophic cascading effects. The risk is such that ENISA recently produced a dedicated threat landscape report for this specific category of threat. helpnetsecurity.com

Chinese Hackers Go on Rampage
Hackers Breach iOS 15, Windows 10, Google Chrome During Massive
Cyber Security Onslaught
During the weekend of 16-17 October, Chinese hackers went on something of a rampage that saw all but three of the 15 target products breached during the exploit onslaught that was the Tianfu Cup.

As well as the attacks on Apple iOS and Safari, there were a whole host of other victims. These included Microsoft, which saw five successful exploits involving the Windows 10 operating system, one impacting Microsoft Exchange, and Google, which saw Chrome succumb twice. But the list is far from over: Adobe PDF, the Asus AX56U router, Docker CE, Parallels VM, QEMA VM, Ubuntu 20, VMware ESXi and Workstation were also successfully hacked.

Full details of the vulnerabilities exploited and the exploits themselves will filter into the public domain in the coming months. Meanwhile, full disclosure of the security flaws would have been immediately made to all the affected vendors.

The security industry hacking competition debate

There are, of course, lots of positives about a hacking competition, such as the Tianfu Cup or Pwn2Own. "The security researchers involved in these schemes can be an addition to existing security teams and provide additional eyes on an organisation's products," George Papamargaritis, the managed security service director at Obrela Security Industries, says, "meaning bugs will be unearthed and disclosed before cybercriminals get a chance to discover them and exploit them maliciously." Indeed, in terms of event style, Kristina Balaam, a senior security intelligence engineer at Lookout says, there's not much difference between the two. "Both give hackers relative free rein over the products they're attempting to exploit," Balaam told me. forbes.com

Supply Chain Crunch & Pandemic Impact Online Shopping
Nearly 20% of consumers plan to shift holiday spending online: Coresight
As the holidays draw closer,
more than a third of U.S. shoppers said they are worried their online order won't arrive on time, according to a new Coresight Research survey. But despite that concern, 78.2% of shoppers expect to buy gifts online this holiday season.

Almost two-thirds
(65.1%) of U.S. holiday shoppers plan to purchase their gifts from physical stores this holiday season. Among various income brackets, consumers earning between $100,000 and $125,000 are driving brick-and-mortar shopping, with 74% of those shoppers planning to buy gifts in store this year. That's followed by shoppers earning $50,000 to $74,999, with 69.6% of them planning to make in-store purchases.

Nearly
20% of consumers plan to shift some or all of their spending this year from stores to online, compared to 11.6% who plan to shift from e-commerce to physical retail.

A report from Deloitte also found that amid a supply chain crunch,
75% of shoppers are worried about products running out this holiday season, which drove them to buy their holiday goods earlier this year.

But as a result of
shipping delays affecting the industry, stores will also be a key channel this year. The report aligns with other research indicating that consumers are willing to return to in-store shopping this year and the next few years.

The NPD Group released a report earlier this month showing that
58% of survey respondents plan to shop in stores thanks to the wide availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Another report from Forrester found estimates that 72% of retail sales will occur in-stores through 2024. retaildive.com

FTC’s Amazon settlement sends a $60 million message to businesses: Honor your promises to gig workers
The FTC just sent almost $60 million in checks and PayPal payments to eligible drivers who had their tips illegally taken by Amazon. Our advice to Amazon Flex drivers: Watch your mailbox for a check. Our advice to companies that hire gig workers: Watch what you say to workers and customers – and live up to your claims.

When customers placed orders through Amazon’s Prime Now or AmazonFresh services, Amazon asked “How much do you want to tip the courier?” Amazon told customers and drivers that “100% of tips are passed on to your courier.” But as the FTC alleged in its complaint, from late 2016 through August 2019, Amazon illegally pocketed a substantial percentage of tips that customers expressly earmarked for drivers.

The FTC just sent 139,507 checks totaling $59,428,878 and 1,621 PayPal payments totaling $171,715 to Amazon Flex drivers. Drivers who had $5 or more illegally taken by Amazon will get 100% of their tips returned to them. The highest award amount is $28,255 with an average of $422.

Largest seizure ever of stolen mail in TX Northern District history
Postal Contractors Charged Following Seizure of 8,000+ Pieces of Mail Worth $4 Million
Joe Roy Rivas, III, 22, and Jessica Lynn Solomon, 35, two contractors of Lubbock, were indicted on Oct. 13 on one count of conspiracy to possess stolen mail and eight counts of possession of stolen mail. Ms. Solomon was arrested in Slaton, Texas the following day and made her initial appearance in federal court on Oct. 15; Mr. Rivas was arrested in Slaton on Oct. 27 and made his initial appearance in federal court yesterday afternoon.

According to the indictment, Mr. Rivas and Ms. Solomon were former co-workers at Cargo Force, Inc., a company that contracts with the United States Postal Service to load mail into and out of air containers destined for flights to and from the Lubbock International Airport.

During their shifts, the defendants allegedly sifted through mail looking for items containing cash, gift cards, checks, and money orders. They allegedly stole that mail and stashed it in 55-gallon trash bags at their residences. Among the checks they stole were a $25,728 check made payable to a telecom co-op, a $15,000 check to a consulting group, and a $241,1863 check to a facilities management and food services company.

If convicted on all counts, they face up to 45 years in prison. justice.gov

Final guilty pleas expose multi-state identity fraud ring
BRUNSWICK, GA: The last of four defendants has admitted guilt in an elaborate multi-state scheme to use stolen information to create fake identity cards for fraudulently purchasing cell phones.

Kenson Hunte, 36, of Canton, Ga., pled guilty to Possession with Intent to Use Five or More False Identification Documents in a case from the Southern District of Georgia, and to Aggravated Identify Theft in a related case from the Northern District of Alabama, said David H. Estes, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. Hunte faces a statutory penalty of up to five years in prison and up to $250,000 fines in the Georgia case, and a minimum of two years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines in the Alabama case, all followed by a period of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

Three codefendants also have admitted to participating in the scheme, with Sheryl Henderson, 39, of Norcross, Ga.; Colby Hart, 27, of Vidalia, Ga.; and Monique Laing, 23, of Atlanta, all pleading guilty to Possession with Intent to Use Five or More False Identification Documents. Henderson awaits sentencing, while Laing is serving 16 months in federal prison and Hart is on supervised release after being sentenced to time served. Hunte’s sentencing date has not yet been set.

The conspirator received employee commissions from the retailer and kickbacks from Hunte, while Hunte profited from the black market sale of the fraudulently obtained phones. The total loss amount from the conspiracy is $104,347.16. justice.gov

Palm Springs, CA: Brazen Theft Halted By Home Depot Shopper
The Home Depot in Palm Springs was the latest target of brazen theft, the thief trying to escape with power tools, but this time he did not get away with the merchandise as a shopper stepped in and took matters into his own hands. We’re told by a viewer that sent video into the NBC Palm Springs newsroom, that multiple people tried to stop the thief and it was ultimately the older man in the video that stopped the thief from leaving the store with merchandise. Shoppers reacted to the video Monday morning, supporting the man who stopped the theft, but also saying it could have been a worse outcome. “You don’t even think, you just react to the moment, but if you take a chance, even a second to think about it, you know the person could have a gun or a knife and it could end up being a lot worse than just stopping a robber,” explained Sergio Suhett, Cathedral City Resident.

Palm Springs Police advise the public that the best thing to do is to step back and take note of what is going on. “We certainly encourage people to just be a good observer, to watch what’s going on, try to get a description as you can,” said Sergeant Michael Casavan with the Palm Springs Police Department.
Police confirmed that this incident was not initially reported, but authorities were contacted to retrieve some of the suspect’s property. “We certainly encourage you not to get involved with the retailer and whatever might be occurring, if they’re losing property, certainly your safety is more important than losing some property at a commercial retailer,” added Casavan. The Home Depot responding to our request for comment issuing this statement: “Organized retail crime is a growing problem for all retailers. Thieves are often brazen and sometimes violent, and we don’t encourage people to engage with them.” nbcpalmsprings.com

Canton, MA: 25 missing packages at local UPS stores; one employee linked to ‘multiple incidents’
After getting a tip from a Boston 25 News employee who lost a rare Mac Jones trading card after bringing it for shipping to a Canton UPS store, 25 Investigates began reviewing police reports mentioning the store, which were obtained through public records request. A pattern of complaints soon emerged and one man’s name kept coming up – 25-year-old Seth Silbert from Easton. Among the items mentioned in the police reports was a Sony PlayStation, which the owner had sold on eBay to a customer in Arizona for $750.

Silbert is the son of the man who owns the Canton store and two other UPS stores in Massachusetts. He’s been working for his father since he was a teen. Sources tell 25 Investigates Silbert hasn’t been seen at any of his father’s stores since September. He’s charged with one count of larceny for the Playstation theft. The only other theft-related charge we could find involves the Norwood Police iPhones but that charge was dismissed in court. 25 Investigates reached out to Silbert’s father, the owner of the stores, for comment. By email, he directed us to speak with the UPS store corporate office.

According to the police reporters we reviewed, UPS security has been aware of Silbert’s alleged connection to missing valuable since 2017. So we asked them why more wasn’t done. They didn’t respond to our question directly, but in a statement a spokesperson said: “The trust of our customers is a top priority and we take these allegations seriously. As the situation is ongoing, we continue cooperating with authorities. If these allegations are proven to be true, it is a breach of trust and we intend to take swift and strong action, as appropriate, to make it right. boston25news.com

Shootings & Deaths

Austin, TX: Man convicted of killing Police Officer at Walmart found dead in cell
A 33-year-old man sentenced to death in the 2012 fatal shooting of an Austin police officer at a Wal-Mart has been found dead in his cell, officials said. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said authorities are investigating the death of Brandon Daniel, who was found dead Saturday. Officials say foul play doesn’t appear to be the cause.

Daniel, a former software engineer, was convicted of capital murder in 2014 in the fatal shooting two years earlier of Officer Jaime Padron during a disturbance and shoplifting call. Padron had been responding to complaints from store employees about a shoplifter who was possibly intoxicated.

TDCJ spokesman Robert Hurst said that at 4:25 a.m. Saturday, a correctional officer at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston was doing security rounds when he found Daniel unresponsive on his bunk. He said officers who entered the cell found that Daniel wasn’t breathing. Hurst said medics arrived at the bunk a short time later, but Daniel was pronounced dead at 5:10 a.m. dfw.cbslocal.com

Washington County, PA: Prosecutor to seek death penalty in Pennsylvania convenience store slaying
A western Pennsylvania prosecutor will seek the death penalty for two men charged with the murder of a convenience store employee who was was shot and killed while making a sandwich. Sidney McLean, 32, of McKeesport, and Devell Christian, 32, of White Oak were arraigned Friday in Washington County court on homicide and other charges for the February slaying of Nicholas Tarpley in Anna Lee’s Convenience Store in Donora. Washington County Prosecutor Jason Walsh will seek capital punishment against both if they are convicted of Tarpley’s murder, according to the Observer Reporter.

Two masked men walked into the store and fired six shots into the back of 28-year-old Tarpley, who co-owed the establishment, while he was turned around making a sandwich for a customer, cops said. He died at the scene. A teenager and another customer were present at the time of the shooting, cops said. Walsh noted the danger the men put the other customers in as reason for seeking the death penalty. No motive for the killing has been determined, however Walsh has said that the suspects may have been targeting someone else, the newspaper reported.  nypost.com

West Memphis clerk lucky to be alive after being shot 7 times during robbery
Update: Damien Morris turned himself in to Minneapolis Police in Minnesota. He will be extradited back to West Memphis to face his charges. Police are searching for a man who shot and robbed a store clerk just moments after making a purchase last month. West Memphis Police Department is on the hunt for the person who held up the Flash Market on North Service Road. Detective Mose Walker said the robbery happened back on October 20th just before 4:00 a.m. Surveillance cameras captured images of the suspect, Damien Morris, the moment he walked through the door. Walker said Morris made a purchase but just as he was about to leave, he did the unthinkable. “He turned around, turned towards her and fired, then went into the register. He never mentioned anything about money or it being a robbery,” Walker said. Detectives said Morris shot the 22-year-old clerk, LeToya Clark, seven times and walked out. “The victim was able to notify law enforcement as well as some family members,” Walker said. Paramedics got Clark to the hospital just in time. Walker said it was only her second week on the job.  wreg.com

 



Robberies, Incidents & Thefts

Buffalo, NY: Robbery at Tonawanda 7-Eleven is latest in string of convenience store robberies
Town of Tonawanda Police are investigating an armed robbery at the 7-Eleven near Lincoln Park over the weekend. It happened a short distance from another 7-Eleven hold-up, and is the latest in a rash of store robberies at local convenience stores. Convenience stores are frequent targets for criminals looking for a quick score in cash, and authorities say it is often to feed a drug habit. That is ironic because convenience stores are generally well-equipped with security cameras to help police catch the suspects. Town of Tonawanda Police say the latest holdup happened Sunday night. The suspect pulled a gun and made off with about $50 cash. Just a week earlier, a 7-Eleven on Brighton Road was targeted by a man who made off with an unknown quantity of cigarettes, without showing a weapon. Deputy Buffalo Police Commissioner Joe Gramaglia told us these crimes are usually about a quick fix. Studies have shown that a convenience store clerk has one of the most hazardous jobs in America’s workforce, and unfortunately there have been two holdups in our area recently that ended in tragedy. wivb.com

Clogged U.S. supply chains lead to cargo theft
As U.S. merchants grapple with clogged ports as well a shortage of truck drivers, warehouse workers and front-line employees, the supply-chain snarls are leading to another concern as the pandemic drags on: cargo theft. "The more that the supply chain in general is backed up, the more cargo you're going to have sitting. And that creates a bigger opportunity for thefts," Scott Cornell, a crime and theft specialist at insurance giant Travelers, told CBS MoneyWatch.

This year, the prime targets of thieves are electronics amid the chip shortage and refrigerated food, according to figures from CargoNet, a division of Verisk Analytics, which tracks thefts along the supply chain for companies, agencies and others. Through September, California topped the list of states with the most reported cargo thefts, followed by Texas and Florida. On the West Coast, a computer chip shortage means the value of some electronic goods that are available, like game consoles, is rising, experts said. On the East Coast, refrigerated trucks used to transport food have been a favorite target of thieves this year.

Roughly $45 million in cargo thefts were reported through September, according to CargoNet. That compares with almost $68 million for all of 2020 when thieves targeted toilet paper and personal protective equipment. In 2019, before the pandemic, some $49 million in cargo theft was reported, according to figures provided by CargoNet. The accelerated pace of theft is expected to continue through 2022. cbsnews.com

Interacting in large networking groups can be very challenging even for the most seasoned of executives. The speed, the number of people, and the amount of information shared can be overwhelming. However, the one basic principal you can rely on is keep it simple, one person at a time and focus on that person both mentally and visually. Slow it down in your head and make sure you communicate clearly and sincerely regardless of the background you have with anyone or any group. Because at the end of the day you're all part of the same industry, the same community, and everyone has the same objective; to help develop and represent the industry as professionals.


Just a Thought,
Gus
