As part of Respect for Shopworkers Week,
Emmeline Taylor, Professor of Criminology, spoke to employees working

those working in city-centre locations. The interviewees bring to life the
shoplifting ‘epidemic’, and highlight issues relating to criminal exploitation,

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
NRF's 'Retail Gets Real' episode 325:
Retail leaders rally to fight retail crime
Retail Gets Real episode 325: NRF’s David Johnston on the problem of
organized retail crime and how retailers are advocating for action
 In
October, NRF brought together representatives from more than 30 retail brands
for a day of advocacy and action on Capitol Hill to raise awareness and
fight back against organized retail crime.
The Fight Retail Crime Day fly-in was a huge success, with
70 retail attendees participating in 65 meetings with
congressional offices on that one day, according to David Johnston,
NRF’s vice president of asset protection and retail operations.
“For most asset protection leaders, including myself, we’ve never participated
in a visit to Congress, so we had no idea what to expect when we got to Capitol
Hill,” Johnston says on this episode of
Retail Gets Real. “I think our initial goal was to get probably about 20
asset protection leaders, because this is not something that they normally talk
about in public venues … and the results really far exceeded our expectation.”
Johnston and the retailers were on the Hill to push for passage of the
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in both
the House and Senate last year.
In addition to the fly-in, NRF sent a letter to Congress signed by 73 retail
companies, along with 6,300 messages from retail advocates and employees
showing their support and asking members of Congress to pass the bill. “It far
exceeded our initial expectations,” Johnston says. “It was a great experience,
and we know it’s going to do good in our continued fight against organized
retail crime.”

organized retail crime is impacting retailers, and how retailers are advocating
for action around this issue. Then, visit

New ORCA Holds First Meeting Ahead of Holidays
HSI Jackson holds first state Organized Retail Crime Alliance meeting
JACKSON, Miss. — In advance of the holiday shopping season, Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI) Jackson, Mississippi, and the newly formed
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama Organized Retail Crime Alliance
(ORCA), held its first strategic planning meeting for the state of
Mississippi on Nov. 14. Their efforts are designed to
combat organized theft groups by targeting domestic and transnational criminal
organizations that profit from organized retail crime (ORC).
 The
four-state Organized Retail Crime Alliance connects federal, state and local
law enforcement and prosecutors, as well as financial and retail industry
partners, from all four states. The ORCA initiative is part of a larger
nationwide strategic partnership for HSI to identify, investigate and prosecute
organized retail crime.
Attendees included representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Southern
and Northern District, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, the Madison Police
Department, the Office of the Governor of Mississippi, Starkville Police
Department, Hattiesburg Police Department, Jackson Capitol Police, Vicksburg
Police Department and Flowood Police Department. Mississippi
retail partners included representatives from Target,
Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Bass Pro Shop, Rouses and Academy Sports.
“By partnering with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and other
retail industry partners, we significantly amplify our ability to not only share
intelligence and resources, but locate and investigate organized retail crime,
which costs federal and state governments nearly $15 billion in lost tax
revenue,” said Chris Schkade, LAMA ORCA chairman. “During this inaugural
state meeting, we had two retailers realize they were
dealing with the same repeat criminal theft operator which is a testament
to how we can combat violent retail crime when we work together.”
In fiscal year (FY) 2021, HSI initiated 59 ORC investigations, representing a
211 percent increase from 19 investigations initiated in FY 2020, and
accounting for 61 criminal arrests, 55 indictments, 59 cases initiated, and
$9,287,757 in assets seized. Organized Retail Theft has been responsible for
nearly $70 billion in retail merchandise being stolen from businesses in 2019;
ORC results in $125.7 billion in lost economic activity; E-Commerce platforms
are repeatedly being utilized to re-sell stolen merchandise.

Florida cracks down on organized retail theft
AG Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution Secures Eight-Year Sentence and
$500,000 Restitution Order for ORT Ringleader
 Florida
continues to crack down on retail theft. Attorney General Ashley Moody’s
Office of Statewide Prosecution has secured another sentence and restitution
order for another leader of an organized retail theft ring in 15 counties.
Just a few weeks ago, Moody announced the
results of a recent racketeering investigation into another major
operation targeting retail theft, which involved millions in stolen items and
murder.
Moody on Wednesday announced an eight-year prison sentence for Byron Johnson,
followed by five years' probation, and pay $539,360 in restitution, who
operated a theft ring in 15 counties that caused hundreds of thousands of
dollars in losses to Home Depot stores.
“In Florida, we are fighting back against organized retail theft,” Moody says.
“We will not allow this crime, occurring rampantly in other parts of our
country, to wreak havoc on our consumers and businesses.”
Four other defendants were charged with grand theft of varying amounts, ranging
from first to third-degree felonies. These cases are still pending, according to
the AG’s OSP.
Since 2019, the Office of Statewide Prosecution has secured an overall
conviction rate of 99%. It’s tasked with prosecuting crimes that impact two or
more judicial circuits in
Most OSP charges resulted from multi-jurisdictional investigations. One includes
a retail theft scam targeting multiple Walmart stores in Polk County. Of
those involved, one is currently serving time in prison. Another is under the
supervision of the Florida Department of Corrections. Arrest warrants are
currently out for two alleged members. One is deceased.
Another involves a retail theft scam operating in South Florida in at least nine
judicial circuits. This scam caused over $20 million in losses to more than
20 different retailers.

The Heart of ORC Operations: Fencers
The Fencers: The Lynchpin of Organized Retail Crime Enterprise
Criminal fencers—individuals who knowingly buy stolen merchandise to resell for
profit—are often
the lynchpin of an
Organized Retail Crime (ORC) enterprise’s strength and longevity.
The lifespan of an ORC enterprise is dependent upon a fencer’s ability to
recruit boosters—individuals who shoplift items—direct stealing operations, and
turn stolen goods into a profit. Fencing operations and booster recruitment have
magnified the ORC issue in recent years, with ORC contributing to more than $68
billion lost from stolen goods.
We provide this overview on fencers—particularly before the holiday season—to
inform consumers and retailers of how to
identify potential
interactions with fencers online and protect themselves
from the growing issue of ORC.
What is “Fencing?”
Criminal fencers are
individuals who
knowingly buy stolen merchandise to resell for profit.
The success and endurance of ORC relies on the fencer’s ability to sell stolen
merchandise to consumers who are either unwitting or apathetic to the product’s
origin and acquisition. A review of court cases showed
fencers are often the
top individuals in smaller or less complex enterprises,
while larger enterprises may involve senior individuals who help divert and
“clean” stolen goods before resale.
Individuals who acted as fencers in ORC enterprises represent a wide range of
demographics. In our review of ORC-associated criminal cases,
fencers consisted of
both male and female individuals who were generally in their thirties or forties.
Race, countries of origin, regional location, profession, and other traits were
widely represented.
Many fencers in ORC enterprises consist of teams of family members, including
combinations of spouses, siblings, adult children, and parents. The
use of familial
relationships centralizes trust and eases overall coordination.
It also simplifies the use of family residences or businesses for storing and
shipping stolen goods.

Target crime-plagued store closures will erase hundreds of Bay Area jobs
Big-box retailer is closing three Bay Area stores in wake of crime wave
Target’s decision to
close three crime-plagued stores will erase hundreds of jobs in the Bay
Area, state filings show.
The big-box retailer has decided to permanently shut down
three Bay Area stores, located in Oakland, Pittsburg and San Francisco in the
wave of thefts and crimes that afflicted the trio of retail sites.
That move also has erased 238 Bay Area jobs as a result of the permanent
shutdowns, with dozens of layoffs at each of the three store sites.
“Our team continues to face an unacceptable amount of retail theft and organized
retail crime,” Brian Cornell, Target’s chief executive officer, said in a
conference call with Wall Street analysts in August.
Within a month of that conference call, Target disclosed it would close nine
stores in four states, including three in the Bay Area.

Yellow Flag Law's Use Increases After Lewiston
Maine Police Used Yellow Flag Law 14 Times Since Mass Shooting
In three cases of Maine police invoking the
state's yellow flag law to take away someone's access to weapons since Oct. 25,
the name of the Lewiston gunman was used by the subject.
The law — which has come under scrutiny because it was not used to remove guns
from Robert Card before he killed 18 people in Lewiston — has now been used a
total of 95 times since it went into effect in 2020. The flurry of incidents
since the shootings means about
15% of all yellow flag actions occurred in the past two weeks.
Police agencies can use the law to take away weapons from people who have mental
health crises and present a danger to themselves or others. It requires a mental
health evaluation and the approval of a judge.

Video: Man Making Bomb Threats Crashes into Mall, Fights with Colo. Police
 Pueblo
police responding to an active shooter call confronted a man in a vehicle who
drove into the Pueblo Mall before struggling with officers and claiming his
vehicle was filled with bombs. Pueblo Police were called to the mall on a report
of shots fired just after 2 p.m.
A man is in custody after driving his vehicle into the Pueblo Mall on Tuesday.
Pueblo police say that they received an active shooter call from the mall on
Dillion Drive at 2 p.m. Officers responding made contact with a man in a
vehicle, attempting a stop. The man evaded officers,
driving across the mall parking lot and through the west side entrance doors,
according to the Pueblo Police Department.
The man was then taken into custody after a "protracted struggle" according to
the PPD Facebook page. Police say the
suspect said that there were bombs in the vehicle. The Pueblo Metro Bomb
Squad responded to assess the scene.
The PPD said around 8 p.m. that the the bomb squad had found the mall was safe
and no further threat existed.

Thousands of employees at hundreds of sites will
mount one-day work stoppages on Thursday
See the list of Starbucks’ 14 Bay Area shops that will strike on Red Cup Day.
Here’s when that is
Unionized Starbucks baristas plan to hold their biggest strike yet this
week, accusing the coffee giant of refusing to fairly negotiate at cafes that
voted to organize.
Thousands of employees at hundreds of sites will mount one-day work stoppages on
Thursday, according to the union Starbucks Workers United.
The strike is pegged to the company’s Red Cup Day, a popular promotional event
when Starbucks gives out holiday-themed reusable cups. The union says Starbucks
has illegally refused to negotiate in good faith over issues including staffing
and scheduling that are particularly onerous during such promotions.
Workers United has prevailed in elections at more than 350 of Starbucks’ roughly
9,000 corporate-run US stores.

At REI, a Progressive Company Warns That Unionization Is Bad for Vibes
Employees at the member-owned co-op have voted to unionize at several
locations—and they’ve also accused the company of trying to stop them from
organizing.
Employees at eight of REI’s roughly 180 US stores, starting with the Manhattan
one, have voted to unionize over the past two years with the RWDSU or other
chapters of the
United
Food & Commercial Workers, seeking a say in issues such as safety,
scheduling and benefits. But—like their newly unionized counterparts at
Amazon.com,
Apple and
Starbucks—none has gotten close to negotiating an actual union contract with
the company. On Nov. 14,
the UFCW filed cases with the
US
National Labor Relations Board, accusing REI of refusing to negotiate fairly
at stores across the country. It’s the latest volley in an escalating
dispute in which each side accuses the other of violating the humane values that
are core to the retailer’s brand.

When & What to Report to the SEC
Let's not forget Uber
SEC Accountants Highlight This Year’s Compliance Struggles
Risk management, auditor independence, and non-GAAP reporting - Companies
Asking for Help
At the Financial Executives International’s
Corporate Financial Reporting Conference on Monday, held virtually, OCA and
the SEC division of corporate finance staff raised the themes they see heading
into regulatory reporting season this year.
One is risk assessment.
Anita Doutt, senior associate chief accountant at the OCA, said the OCA has
heard troubling feedback about
management being “too narrowly focused” on matters directly affecting financial
reporting
and missing or disregarding broader, entity-level issues that could indirectly
impact financial reporting.
A data breach or a regulatory finding would be an
example.
“Management may be inadvertently biased towards evaluating each incident in
isolation or rationalizing away disconfirming evidence and basically can
conclude that these matters don’t individually or in the aggregate rise to the
level of a disclosure,” Doutt said.
When management has such a narrow focus, it can result in
material risks to the business,
Doutt added. The company
may not have appropriate controls around the identified risks or are undisclosed.

FBI takes down IPStorm malware botnet as hacker behind it pleads guilty
 The
FBI dismantled the IPStorm botnet proxy network and its infrastructure
this week following a September plea deal with the hacker behind the operation.
The Justice Department said it took down the infrastructure associated with the
IPStorm malware — which experts said
infected thousands of Linux, Mac, and Android devices across Asia, Europe, North
America and South America.
The botnet was
first sighted by researchers in June 2019, primarily targeting Windows systems,
and stood out to experts because it used the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)
peer-to-peer protocol to communicate with infected systems and relay commands.
Cisco warned last year that IFPS was being exploited widely by hackers.
By 2020, several security companies discovered that the malware had expanded to
versions that infected other devices and platforms. Cybersecurity journalist
Catalin Cimpanu reported that the botnet grew from
around 3,000 infected systems in May 2019 to more than 13,500 devices by 2020.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Justice Department said Sergei Makinin, a Russian and
Moldovan national, pled guilty on September 18 to
three hacking charges that each carry a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
According to the DOJ, Makinin developed and deployed the malware from June 2019
to December 2022, using it to
hack thousands of internet-connected devices around the world.

AI Turning Workplaces into the 'Wild West'
AI in Workplace Is Like the Wild West: Untamed
Employees are using it, likely without your knowledge
It's the
Wild West when it comes to using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)
tools—such as
ChatGPT—in the workplace, with many workers using these resources without their
managers' knowledge, according to recent surveys. As with any tool,
transparency and
training are key
to proper usage.
&uuid=(email)) However,
a survey earlier this year from San Francisco-based corporate social networking
platform
Fishbowl found that
only one-third (32 percent) of respondents who use AI at work do so with their
boss's knowledge. The
5,067 respondents included workers at Amazon, Bank of America, IBM, JP Morgan
and Nike.
Snaplogic, a San Mateo, Calif.-based company that enables automation for
enterprise companies, reported similar findings. Its September survey with 904
midlevel office workers in Australia, the U.K. and the U.S. discovered
40 percent of respondents use these tools without disclosing their usage
to colleagues or their employer—but are not necessarily abusing the tools.
More than two-thirds
(67 percent) think AI saves them one to five hours of work per week.
And while there's the perception GenAI is used primarily to crunch numbers,
Snaplogic found the
predominant use is research—sometimes because the employee is too embarrassed to
ask a human for help.
Nearly one-fourth (22 percent) said they would covertly use GenAI because they
didn't know how to perform a task or have the answer to something. Nearly
one-fourth (22 percent) also said they would not use AI if they had to disclose
their use.
But transparency works both ways.
Employees want their employer to be open about how AI could directly improve
their workflow—something
cited by 78 percent of respondents to a survey conducted by thought leadership
and research agency Workplace Intelligence in partnership with UKG.

surveillance system in a cannabis business is loss prevention. Individuals are
less likely to steal when they know they are being recorded, and if they do
attempt to steal, they are more likely to be caught.
Businesses are more protected from potential theft, diversion, and losses
when they implement proper video monitoring systems and other compliant
security devices.
Though every cannabis business needs a video surveillance system, the needs of
each business may differ. Based on the design, location, and function of the
facility, the business may require increased storage capacity, specialty
devices, or advanced monitoring services.
Surveillance Cameras
While security cameras differ greatly in their quality, price, and abilities,
the goals of a basic video surveillance system remain the same:
●
Reduce and prevent internal/external theft
●
Assist with inventory management
●
Track employee progress/optimize performance
●
Analyze customer shopping patterns/improve business operations
●
Investigate an incident after it has occurred
For cannabis businesses, basic video surveillance systems are composed of
similar devices: cameras, video management systems, display monitors, and
storage devices like an ENVR. Though these systems are primarily reactive in
nature, video surveillance technology is advancing to become more proactive.
Most states/localities have required
policies and laws for cannabis businesses. These laws typically mandate
video surveillance systems, and may even require recording in a specific
resolution or frames per second. Requirements regulating the length of time that
a cannabis business must store video recordings is also common and the duration
varies by state.

Another State Scrambles to Prepare for Cannabis
Legalization
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine: Proposed changes to Ohio’s new marijuana legalization law
won’t contain ‘surprises’
Gov. Mike DeWine said that he and legislative leaders met on Monday to discuss
what changes to make to Issue 2,
a recreational
marijuana legalization law passed by voters last week.
&uuid=(email)) DeWine,
speaking with reporters at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, declined to
say exactly what
proposed changes
he discussed with Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens and Ohio Senate President
Matt Huffman during a breakfast meeting. But he indicated that they didn’t bring
up any proposals that they previously didn’t air in public after Issue 2′s
passage.
“I don’t think there’s any surprises out there,” said DeWine, a Republican
who last week said he wants to enact marijuana restrictions intended to
prevent accidental ingestion, public use, driving while intoxicated and
advertising. He also said he
wants lawmakers to lift
existing criminal penalties for marijuana possession to avoid public confusion.
Huffman, a Lima Republican,
has expressed interest in raising the 10% sales tax on marijuana created by
Issue 2, as well as lowering the maximum amount of THC that marijuana products
can contain. Stephens,
a Lawrence County Republican, has suggested lawmakers would divert some
marijuana tax money toward county jail construction and law-enforcement
training.

Cannabis Burglary Turns Into 'Rolling Gun Battle'
Santa Cruz cannabis business owner arrested for alleged violent response to
break-in
A 36-year-old Santa Cruz cannabis business owner was arrested this week after an
apparently
violent response to a break-in.
Derek Hubbard, who police say was the victim of an early-morning robbery at his
Encinal Street facility Monday, was being held without bail in Santa Cruz County
Jail on Tuesday. Hubbard allegedly rammed into and shot at the escape vehicles
of multiple thieves as they were leaving the scene around 4:30 a.m. Police later
arrived in the area and were unable to apprehend the thieves, officials said.
Hubbard — who runs a cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and distribution center
— had been the victim of a prior break-in robbery and was alerted to the most
recent break-in via his security system, Santa Cruz Police Deputy Chief Jon Bush
said. In what
turned into a rolling gun battle
through the Harvey West neighborhood, Hubbard allegedly initiated the shooting
with the departing thieves, according to Bush.
“(Hubbard)
used lethal and deadly force to try and stop what was ultimately a property
crime
from occurring without there being any threat of violence toward him,” Bush said
of investigators’ decision to arrest Hubbard.

Shifting E-Comm from Warehouses to Stores
Walgreens Shifts eCommerce Fulfillment From Warehouses to Retail Stores
Walgreens taking new approach to online
delivery by utilizing network of stores.
The pharmacy giant recently
closed a warehouse dedicated to eCommerce orders, signaling its commitment to
using its 8,700 stores
as both retail outlets and fulfillment centers, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
reported Tuesday (Nov. 14).
By
having store employees pick and pack items for same-day delivery
through third-party apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats, Walgreens aims to increase
the speed of online consumer order fulfillments and boost sales, according to
the report.
This strategy, which
excludes the company’s pharmacy operations,
aims to streamline the handling of online orders by consolidating the management
of goods into a single system, the report said.
This
eliminates the need for separate distribution networks for eCommerce and
in-store sales, per the
report. With
78% of Americans living within 5 miles of a Walgreens
store, the
company is capitalizing on the proximity of its stores to customers.
Walgreens is
following the lead of other retailers like Target, Walmart and CVS Health,
which have also started fulfilling more online orders from their stores,
according to the report.
To provide customers with faster delivery options,
Walgreens encourages same-day delivery when items are in stock nearby,
per the report. Customers who choose no-rush shipping during online checkout are
given the option to have their items delivered earlier, if possible. These
orders are
fulfilled by local store employees and delivered by DoorDash or Uber Eats.

EU Cracking Down on Illegal Online Product Sales
EU asks Amazon to clarify its measures to protect customers
The European Commission on Wednesday said it had
given Amazon until Dec. 6 to
provide more information on measures the online retailer takes to protect
customers against illegal products.
Under new online content rules known as the Digital Services Act (DSA) which
came into force recently,
major online platforms are
required to do more to take down illegal and harmful content or risk fines of as
much as 6% of their global turnover.

Time is Right For Biometric Technologies
Biometric Authentication Tailor-Made for a Digital-First World
In today’s digital era, where convenience meets security and organizations and
individuals alike no longer need to make a trade-off between the two, legacy
methods of authentication are increasingly giving way to a more intuitive,
seamless and secure alternative: biometric authentication.
“The stars are aligning when it comes to [behavioral and market] conditions,”
Entersekt Chief
Strategy Officer and Co-founder
Dewald Nolte
told PYMNTS.
“People are getting used to logging into their favorite apps on their
smartphones using biometrics daily, and using Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay
and those kind of wallets using biometrics to activate that payment, it is
fairly well adopted in the market,” Nolte explained.
The last “piece of this magic combination,” he added, is that traditional
technologies, like one-time passwords (OTPs), are being exposed as no longer
good enough, creating a demand for more secure alternatives.
“We’re seeing very successful phishing campaigns in instances where these OTPs
are being stolen,” Nolte said.
That is why the
time is ripe for biometric authentication to take center stage.
From fingerprint recognition to the current Face ID capabilities on smartphones,
biometric technologies have evolved to meet the demands of a changing landscape
as they’ve matured, boasting high success rates and user acceptance.

Chicago, IL: $10,000 worth of merchandise stolen in Ulta smash-and-grab
 Smash-and-grab
thieves made off with roughly $10,000 worth of merchandise after burglarizing an
Ulta Beauty store Wednesday morning in Greektown. The suspects broke into Ulta
around 3 a.m. and stole $10,000 worth of proceeds at 16 S. Halsted St.,
according to police. The thieves then fled the scene in a white sedan. There is
no one in custody as Area Three detectives investigate.

San Francisco, CA: CHP seizes $350K worth of goods in East Bay retail theft
probe
 A
California Highway Patrol organized retail theft investigation has yielded
stolen property worth an estimated $350,000, the agency said on social media
Tuesday night. CHP's Golden Gate division collaborated with Concord police to
execute search warrants in Oakland and Galt, which is a city in Sacramento
County. A residence in Oakland was being used to fence stolen property, and
merchandise was also found in multiple storage facilities and vehicles. Law
enforcement also apprehended two loaded guns and $17,344 in illegal proceeds
from the theft operation. The primary suspects, whom CHP has not named, were
booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of grand theft, possession of stolen
property and conspiracy to commit a crime. The CHP did not say how many suspects
were taken into custody.

Milwaukee, WI: 'They're just prolific,' organized retail theft groups target MKE
area
 Across
the country, stores have reported losses, some closing, due to theft. In
southeast Wisconsin, police tell WISN 12 News criminals are more organized and
are stealing more. "We are seeing an uptick in people running into the store,
grabbing a whole bunch of merchandise in their arms, either walking or running
out and then just leaving," said Greenfield Police Detective Nathan McCarthy.
"Sometimes before the store even realizes what's happening." While Greenfield
police responded to 50 retail theft calls in the month of October, the number of
calls is not necessarily surging. Instead, police say, the amount they're taking
and how they've become emboldened is increasing. "They're just prolific,"
McCarthy added. Two women, from out of state, are accused of stealing more than
$8,000 from the Sephora in Wauwatosa, $3,500 from Brookfield and almost $4,000
from Mall of America. The criminal complaint states the pair are part of a
"traveling felony theft crew" stuffing items into their dresses with some sort
of bag system. Rosalina Lamandita and Loredana Vaduva face multiple felony theft
charges, both are from Minneapolis. "They're not perfuming themselves for $6,000
worth of product, or for however long," McCarthy added, saying they're looking
to sell whatever they steal. Stolen and flipped items often make it easier for
police to catch criminals because they sell the items on social media for a
cheaper price. "They'll put it on Facebook marketplace, which is a fairly common
location for us to find those," he added. Oak Creek Police say a different group
of women took more than $20,000 worth of merchandise from multiple Kohl's stores
in Waukesha, Menomonee Falls and Oak Creek.

Atlanta, GA: Tesla-driving thieves knab $10K in clothing from Kohl’s
 Two
men ran from a metro Atlanta Kohl’s store, their arms full of more than $10,000

symbol and a statement about their commitment to the environment, investigators
say it’s not what they drive, but what they took that caught their eye. It
happened in Coweta County on October 29 and the sheriff’s office shared video of
the theft. Investigators say one of the men scoured the department store,
picking out a mountain of men’s activewear while the other man was the getaway
driver.
The two men are wanted for similar crimes in metro Atlanta.

San Antonio, TX: Second suspect arrested in Halloween shooting at North Star
Mall
San Antonio police have arrested another suspect in the North Star Mall shooting
after a loss prevention officer was injured on Halloween night. Angel Marie
Ramirez, 25, was arrested Tuesday and faces multiple robbery and theft charges.
Police said three suspects entered the Macy's department store around 8 p.m. on
Oct. 31 and began gathering large amounts of merchandise, which attracted the
attention of two loss prevention officers. According to an arrest affidavit, two
of the suspects, a man and a woman, were heading toward an exit when one of the
officers approached them while another positioned himself outside the exit
doors. Once confronted by the loss prevention officers, police said, one of the
suspects, identified as Ramirez, fled on foot. Investigators said 53-year-old
Edwardo Sanchez Jr. then got into a struggle with the officers. Police said a
third loss prevention officer, 29-year-old Erika Castillo-Don, tried to assist
when Sanchez pulled out a handgun and shot Castillo-Don in the thigh before
fleeing toward a car in the parking lot. Castillo-Don was taken to a local
hospital in stable condition. Police said Sanchez was later arrested and
confessed and now faces three counts of aggravated robbery.

 60-year-old
man is in custody after police said he tried to rob two grocery stores in one

When anyone goes for an interview you've got to play to win. You should not
allow: any outside variable, any future promotion thoughts or promises, your
guilt feelings towards your current employer or boss, your preconceived opinions
of the possible future employer, or any miss-step in the process on the part of
the future employer disrupt or impact your performance. All interviews have long
range implications on your career. The executives interviewing you are part of a
community and you'll run into them again at another company. So if you do get
involved and go for an interview, commit yourself all the way and play to win.
It doesn't mean you've got to take the job. It just means you have to perform at
100%.
Just a Thought,
Gus
