Police say organized retail theft is one of the
fastest-growing crimes in the country.
Target 11 in Pittsburgh
is investigating retail theft rings, after busting a
ring of thieves in Center Township who were stealing
DVDs and reselling them. Under a new state law, this
type of crime is being recognized as more than just
shoplifting and it's under this law that the ringleader
from Center Township is being prosecuted. ORC is a
$12 billion a year problem. Thieves are stealing some of
the most popular brands on the market, Tide, Tylenol,
even Crest White Strips. A new report found that 96% of
stores nationwide say they've been a victim of organized
retail theft. (source

and and businesses $337K.
Monet
Griffin was identified as a key member of a group that ran a
complex fraud scheme in Montgomery County. In Griffin's
case, court documents say she "converted hundreds of
thousands of dollars of gift cards purchased with stolen
credit and debit card information into U.S. currency"
through more than 100 fraudulent purchases. Griffin
personally made at least $30,000 in fraudulent purchases and
was charged last week in federal court in Greenbelt.
