Three arrested with $9000 of Walmart electronics: using gift
cards purchased with fraudulent credit cards.
Three NYC area suspects made several trips inside the store
in Newburgh to purchase computer equipment, iPods and iPads
using fraudulent gift cards. Police were called; when they
stopped the van leaving the parking lot, they found nearly
$9000 worth of electronics, fake drivers licenses and dozens
of forged credit cards. (Source

The New
England Organized Retail Crime Symposium & Trade
Showbeing held
in Worcester, Massachusetts on September 20th, is a
strong blend of education, networking and career
development. The event
is well attended by retailers and law enforcement
professionals and features a diverse line-up of
speakers. If you're in the region, consider this an
A-list event.
The educational content and networking opportunity
is a collaborative effort between six host
associations:
Connecticut Retail Merchants Association Maine
Merchants Association Retailers Association of
Massachusetts Retail Merchants Association of New
Hampshire Rhode Island Retail Federation Vermont
Retail Association
State retail associations play an important role in
our industry. Most are on the front lines, dealing
with legislative initiatives in the state capital
while others have operational committees and conduct
regular meetings. If your company is a member, take
some time to explore the services and events they
have to offer. For anyone in the New England market,
consider yourself lucky to be represented by these
six associations.
