The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
AI Transforms Retail Loss Prevention
Retail Loss Prevention Tech Moves
From Watching to Acting
 By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail loss prevention technology is increasingly moving beyond simply
recording incidents to identifying potential theft and safety risks
as they happen.
Artificial intelligence, computer vision and advanced analytics are
giving retailers new ways to analyze existing surveillance footage,
point-of-sale activity and inventory movement. Instead of requiring LP
teams to manually review hours of video after an incident, newer systems
can flag unusual activity and direct employees toward events that may
require attention.
At the checkout, computer vision can identify items that appear to
have been missed or incorrectly scanned and generate an alert or
customer prompt. Morrisons recently announced plans to deploy
vision-based AI technology across 200 stores following a trial, with the
system designed to identify scanning errors at self-checkout in real
time.
 The
technology is also expanding beyond the checkout. AI-enabled video
systems can potentially identify patterns such as concealment, unusual
movement of high-value merchandise or other behaviors associated with
loss. When video is connected with transaction and inventory data,
LP teams can gain additional context before deciding whether an event
warrants investigation.
That shift could be particularly important as retailers balance theft
prevention with employee and customer safety. Rather than relying
solely on associates to identify suspicious activity and decide when to
intervene, technology can provide additional information to LP teams and
centralized monitoring centers.
Retail safety technology is evolving as well. The broader trend
is toward connecting technologies that retailers have historically
operated separately. Video surveillance, RFID, point-of-sale data,
inventory systems and AI analytics can increasingly work together to
provide a more complete picture of store activity.
For LP and AP teams, the value may ultimately be less about replacing
human judgment than narrowing the field. Instead of watching
everything, investigators can spend more time on the incidents and
patterns most likely to matter.
Property Crime Strains Small
Businesses
How commercial property crime undermines California's small
Hispanic-owned businesses
Commercial property crime is
draining resources from California’s Hispanic-owned businesses, many of
which face limited access to capital. Julian Cañete argues prevention
must be an economic priority.
From Sacramento, the message is that California is making progress on
crime. But when I talk to the Hispanic business owners across our
state, people who sacrificed, took risks, and built businesses to create
opportunities for their families and communities, I hear a different
story.
One issue that I regularly hear about is commercial, manufacturing, and
industrial property crime and its impact on California's economy is
significant. Break-ins, equipment theft, cargo theft, vandalism, fuel
theft, and trespassing affect many businesses across the state, from
warehouses, farms, and construction firms to contractors, manufacturers,
and trucking companies.
This type of crime is happening at a scale our official statistics
don’t capture. Many business owners have stopped reporting
break-ins, equipment theft, and vandalism because they don’t believe
reporting will change the outcome. Others are discouraged by insurance
deductibles, concerns about higher premiums, or the time required to
navigate reporting processes.
As a result, the data understates the problem. And commercial,
manufacturing, and industrial property crime rarely receives the same
level of public attention as other public safety issues, such as
retail crime.

D.C.'s Crime Crackdown Working?
FBI touts 6,000 arrests, 44% homicide drop one year into Trump’s DC
crime crackdown
The FBI on Tuesday marked the first anniversary of the Trump
administration’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., touting
thousands of arrests and seizures since the enhanced federal enforcement
effort began.
The milestone comes one year after President Donald Trump launched the
Safe and Beautiful initiative in Washington, increasing the federal
law enforcement presence and deploying hundreds of federal agents and
National Guard troops to combat crime in the nation’s capital.
“Last summer President Trump made the historic decision to surge federal
resources to Washington D.C. to crack down on crime – and thanks to his
brilliant leadership, the work of brave FBI agents and our law
enforcement partners, and the support of our Justice Department, our
nation’s capital is now safer than it’s been in decades,” FBI Director
Kash Patel told Fox News Digital.
“One year later, the FBI has worked with partners to make over 6,000
arrests, nearly 2,000 drug seizures, and over 1,300 illegal firearm
seizures,” Patel continued. “Homicides in D.C. are down an
incredible 44% from last year.”

AI Spots Workplace Risks Early
How Can Computer Vision and AI Help Avoid Risks?
Software can detect dangers of all
types to help prevent incidents, says report from National Safety
Council.
Finding technology that can eliminate workplace fatalities is the
core mission of the National Safety Council's Work to Zero
Initiative.
The organization's white paper, titled Using Computer Vision as a Risk
Mitigation Tool, found that computer vision
technology that uses a risk protection algorithm is capable of
"accurate, consistent and automatic monitoring of worker personal
protective equipment (PPE), risk identification, and the detection of
violence and weapons in the workplace."
For industries such as manufacturing, warehousing and construction,
software is available that is able to take current closed circuit
television (CCTV) feeds that, when paired with artificial intelligence
(AI), can rapidly review old footage to find and serve relevant
post-incident images and clips. This information can be turned into
dashboards for EHS professionals to use in determining root causes of
workplace incidents.
The authors found that the most effective object detection computer
vision systems are based on deep learning, which allows AI to identify
key objects, including those that could be involved with incidents.
This identification can help prevent future injuries.
Another key advantage of computer vision is the ability to monitor
employees as they work, thus learning their habits and figuring out what
specific activities could lead to incidents. The system is set up to
continuously learn the association between behavior and incidents and
turn them into tags that can be analyzed.
For workplace injuries, computer vision can track and log data
associated with these injuries and then use that to predict when
injuries could occur. The paper notes that this is especially useful
for industries with material movement, such as logistics and warehouses,
as well as those industries using heavy machinery such as manufacturing
and construction.

Target Takes Backend AI Approach
Target puts AI to work behind scenes, while rivals chase shopper-facing
tools
 Target
is leaning into AI by naming Chandhu Nair as its first chief AI officer
and elevating Purvi Shah to senior vice president of UX. The company
aims to move “from insight to action faster” while keeping
human-centered design a priority.
While mass merchant rivals Amazon and Walmart, not to mention
retailers ranging from Kroger to Michaels, are putting AI-powered agents
front and center across their digital experiences to help shoppers
find products, Target is taking a different tack. It is focusing on
weaving AI into backend systems to improve inventory management,
simplify processes, and help the retailer make faster, better-informed
decisions.
Implications for Target and other retailers: Target’s focus on using AI
to improve back-end functions has merit. Roughly 2 in 5 CEOs
worldwide say AI is already delivering measurable impact in core
operations or production (41%) and strategy and decision-making (41%),
while 30% point to supply chain and procurement, per EY-Parthenon. Those
are areas where Target’s approach could pay dividends.
But focusing too heavily on back-end functions risks leaving an
opening on the consumer-facing side. While Target has made some
moves—including launching a conversational AI tool last year to help
shoppers find gifts—those efforts have been far from the more
sophisticated shopping assistants offered by rivals.
AI can make the business more efficient behind the scenes, but
retailers also need to invest in the customer-facing experience or risk
ceding more of the digital shopping journey to competitors.

Retail Doom Loop Over in San
Francisco?
Reporter’s Notebook: How bad off is San Francisco retail?
There are signs of a comeback
downtown, but the best shopping in the city is still hyper-local.
For more than five years now — since the onset of the pandemic —
San Francisco has seemed to be the epicenter of store closures in the
U.S., as crime and other troubles gave the city’s major retail corridors
a bad reputation.
Retail in San Francisco has never been entirely doomed, though,
and now there are early signs of a comeback. A recent tour by bike,
transit and foot found numerous boarded up buildings and “for lease”
signs, but also stores flourishing in the city’s neighborhoods and even
its beleaguered downtown.
Hesitation around signing a lease here lingers. Yet landlords and
store owners never stopped shaking hands, especially in the city’s
neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs, according to Meghann Martindale,
principal and director of retail market intelligence at commercial real
estate firm Avison Young.
“What makes San Francisco fascinating is that retail demand has
become hyper-local,” she said by email. “Neighborhood to
neighborhood can completely change the customer profile, spending power,
and retailer performance. The city’s strongest retail is increasingly
being driven by strong neighborhood ecosystems rather than a single
dominant downtown shopping district.”

Services Reshape America’s Retail
Landscape
Here's how gyms, salons and ice cream are changing America's Main
Streets
Last year marked the first time that the majority of U.S. retail space
was leased to tenants selling services rather than goods, according to
real estate data firm CoStar. This change is a response to changing
spending habits, and it is shaking up malls, suburban shopping hubs
and Main Streets nationwide.
This year, in the 20 biggest metropolitan areas, CoStar data shows
retail tenants declining for the third year in a row, while personal
services and entertainment are ballooning: escape rooms and virtual
golfing, medical spas and Pilates studios.
"Over the very long term, consumers have switched a lot of spending
from retail goods to services in terms of share of wallet," says
John Mercer, who tracks the state of retail at the analytics firm
Coresight Research. "We think that that kind of long-term pattern will
continue."
This shift was temporarily interrupted by the lockdowns of the
coronavirus pandemic but has since roared back. And it's generally
fueled by the wealthier spenders, though Mercer says surveys also
suggest that some people choose to trade down to cheaper goods to
redirect that saved money to services, for outings and experiences.

Are Mall Makeovers Working?
Malls reinvent themselves to win Gen Z shoppers
Malls’ efforts to reinvent themselves with experiential formats and
Gen Z-friendly initiatives are bringing shoppers back. Indoor,
outlet, and open-air shopping centers have each posted positive YoY
visit growth for the past three months, with particularly strong gains
for indoor and open-air formats, according to Placer.ai.
Average dwell times at all three formats rose YoY in July for the
first time in five months, pointing to growing shopper engagement.
Simon Property Group CEO Eli Simon said that shopper traffic across the
company’s portfolio—which includes class A properties like The Galleria
in Houston, Texas, and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in New York—accelerated
in Q2, with comparable sales increasing 5.7% YoY.

Case Study: Rooftop Intruders Deterred at a Jewelry Store
Peter Suchy Jewelers—a local vintage and estate jewelry store
located in Stamford, CT—approached
Everon
seeking a stronger solution to deter unauthorized and criminal
activity on and around their property. Because of the store's
proximity to surrounding businesses and ongoing concerns about
after-hours crime, the owner needed a proactive way to prevent
incidents before they occurred.
To enhance the store's security, Everon recommended the installation
of video cameras paired with Active Video Monitoring, equipping the
retailer with:
-
A visible,
proactive deterrent for would-be offenders
-
Real-time detection
of suspicious or unauthorized activity
-
Recorded footage
to provide critical evidence in the event of an incident
Everon Active Video Monitoring is a proactive, real time remote
monitoring service designed to help detect, deter, and respond
to threats before they escalate. Operating through Everon’s UL
listed redundant monitoring centers, Active Video Monitoring
leverages retailer’s existing camera infrastructure to reduce
upfront costs while providing high engagement security oversight and
loss prevention solution across both indoor and outdoor
environments.
The monitoring system at Peter Suchy Jewelers was designed to
automatically escalate responses—activating strobe lights, speakers,
and live monitoring intervention when threats were detected.
Only one day after the installation went live, the Active Video
Monitoring solution worked to detect people on the roof of the
property and identify that two hooded people were trespassing.
The Everon monitoring center was quickly alerted to the trespassing.
Operators quickly activated audio warnings and multicolor strobe
lights to deter them from stealing copper on the roof or breaking
into the jewelry store for valuables. Both intruders fled, racing to
the back of the roof, climbing down, and running away.
Turn Your Video Surveillance into an Active
Layer of Protection
With Everon’s Active Video Monitoring, retailers can enhance
after-hours security, reduce loss, cut down on loitering and
vandalism, and protect high-value inventory.
Learn how Everon can keep watch on your retail locations to help
identify and deter threats, reduce loss, and provide peace of mind
that your stores and inventory are protected across your locations
after hours with
Active Video Monitoring. |

Anatomy of a retail ransomware attack:
Tabletop simulates modern mayhem methods
An “Enter the War Room” incident
response exercise sheds light on the rising access vectors and
disruption and reputation-damaging activities attackers employ today.
Attacks on AI systems and disinformation starred as key elements of a
ransomware tabletop exercise CSO participated in during this month’s
Infosecurity Europe conference. The “Enter the War Room” exercise —
organised and run by cybersecurity vendor Semperis — featured a
scenario focused on a cyberattack against a fictional supermarket chain,
BlueCart.
CSO took part as one of eight members of a red team of supposed national
state–linked attackers (APT 64, AKA Checkout Chaos) that was as much
interested in thrashing the reputation of the supermarkets it targeted
and causing disruption as in making money.
As the target of this year’s “Enter the War Room” exercise, grocery
retailer BlueCart has an AI-enhanced supply chain command centre,
designed to provide visibility across inventory, logistics, and
fulfilment. The system has a key role in keeping shelves stocked and
deliveries moving.
Logistics, scheduling, warehouse operations, and store fulfilment have
been centralised in a new technology and operations centre.
The red team began with reconnaissance to find a supplier or logistics
partner that already has trusted connectivity into the AI command
centre, then use that foothold to reach shared portals, APIs, or
remote-access tooling.
A combination of stolen credentials from developers, weak MFA
enforcement, and over-privileged service accounts were used to hack into
planning and inventory systems and steal loyalty card data — three
of several access vectors typically employed today. The attackers also
attempted to break into BlueCart’s Active Directory environment using a
combination of phishing and credential theft.
The attackers also sought to exploit the retailer’s poorly segmented
building-management network to disrupt heating, cooling, and ventilation
operations. The blue team of defenders decided to rebuff ransomware
demands, which the attackers responded to by leaking loyalty scheme data
to cause reputational damage against BlueCart.

Logistics Giant Hit By Cyberattack
Cyberattack on logistics giant CEVA delivers customer data into the
wrong hands
Valve, Bol, ING, Ajax, and others
affected as pwnage disrupts eight European warehouses
A cyberattack on logistics giant CEVA has disrupted warehouses across
Europe and exposed customer data belonging to a growing list of big-name
clients, including Valve and Ajax.
The France-headquartered shipping outfit, which operates more
than 1,000 warehouses worldwide and generated $18.3 billion in
revenue last year, was attacked between July 29 and August 1, according
to a notification Valve sent to customers.
Eight CEVA warehouses in Europe were affected, industry news site
FreightWaves reported, citing a source familiar with the investigation.
The disruption hit parts of CEVA's contract logistics business, though
its air, ocean, ground, and rail transportation operations continued as
normal.
The fallout is now showing up at companies that rely on CEVA to
get their wares into customers' hands.
Valve, which uses CEVA to ship Steam hardware in Europe, told
customers in an email seen by The Register that attackers had likely
stolen their information.
The haul potentially includes names, street addresses, postcodes,
countries, phone numbers and email addresses, along with the type
and price of Steam hardware the punters ordered. CEVA retains the
information for up to 90 days after an order, according to Valve, which
is contacting customers it believes may have been affected.
Payment information, passwords, and Steam Guard codes weren't exposed
because CEVA doesn't have access to them, Valve said. The stolen data
does, however, hand crooks plenty of material for convincing phishing
attempts, Valve warned customers.

'Operation Dream Job'
Lazarus hackers pair fake job offers with Windows zero-day exploit
The North Korea-linked Lazarus group is using fake job offers,
trojanized PDF software and a Windows zero-day in attacks aimed
primarily at the defense sector, Check Point researchers have found.
The activity is part of Operation Dream Job, a long-running campaign
in which attackers pose as recruiters and lure targets with job
opportunities at well-known companies. One of the decoy documents
uncovered during the investigation used a Lockheed Martin job
description.
Check Point was unable to determine how victims were first approached.
Based on earlier Dream Job operations, they assess that Lazarus likely
contacted targets through professional networking platforms such as
LinkedIn or through messaging applications.
“Posing as recruiters, the attackers present enticing job
opportunities and ultimately direct victims to download malicious files,”
the researchers noted.

E-Commerce Growth Raises Fraud Risks
Mexico E-Commerce Growth Raises Fraud Prevention Pressure
Mexico’s e-commerce market is expanding while online retailers face
increasing pressure to prevent fraud without rejecting legitimate
customers. A June 2026 study by Koin and Gmattos estimates that
losses from credit card fraud in Mexico could reach US$119 million in
2026, up from US$110 million in 2025.
The Estudio E-commerce Latam, which examines e-commerce, fraud, payment
methods and digital financing in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, projects
that Mexico’s online sales will grow 18% in 2026. The country was
the region’s second-largest e-commerce market in 2025, with an estimated
value of US$55 billion.
The expansion is increasing the importance of risk management for
companies operating digital businesses. Retailers must address
fraudulent transactions while limiting false positives that prevent
legitimate purchases from being completed.
E-Commerce Growth Expands Fraud Exposure
The Mexican market is part of a broader regional expansion that is
increasing both the opportunities and risks associated with digital
commerce. According to the Koin-Gmattos study, online sales in Latin
America grew 12.2% in 2025, 1.5 times faster than the global average.
The increase in buyers, transactions and payment channels is
expanding the potential points of exposure for online merchants. The
report identifies both chargeback losses and false positives as
challenges for businesses operating in the region.
Online purchase approval rates in Latin America remain below those
recorded in North America, indicating that legitimate transactions
are more likely to be rejected because of perceived risk. For
retailers, both outcomes affect revenue: an approved fraudulent purchase
can result in a direct loss, while a legitimate purchase rejected as
suspicious eliminates a sale before it is completed.
“The Mexican e-commerce sector has a huge growth opportunity, but that
opportunity requires more precise risk management,” said Dieter
Spangenberg, Koin’s fraud director. “Fraud is no longer fought only by
blocking suspicious transactions; good buyers must also be prevented
from being excluded because of incorrectly interpreted signals.”
The study found that 4.1% of online orders in Latin America and
Europe end in fraud, compared with 3.1% in North America and 3% in
Asia-Pacific.

Retail's 'AI Gold Rush'
Grocers race to release AI assistants, even as most consumers aren't
sold on chatbots
Grocery brands are launching AI shopping assistants that can turn a
photo of a handwritten grocery list into a completed cart in
seconds, the assistants can pull double duty as new ad spaces for
sponsored products.
But the retail industry's AI gold rush is running well ahead of
shopper enthusiasm, with recent survey data showing most consumers
still aren't using, or interested in using, these tools, even as the AI
traffic that does show up converts at markedly higher rates than any
other channel.
Kroger became the latest grocer to join a recent trend of
retailers building or adopting ways to pair consumers with virtual
assistants, whether customers want them or not.
The AI assistant also doubles as a new ad surface. Kroger Precision
Marketing is extending its product listing ads to include placements
inside the assistant, clearly labeled as sponsored.

Hillsborough County, FL: 4 Arrested In Tampa Bay Retail Theft Operation,
Hillsborough Sheriff Says
Four people have been arrested in connection with an organized retail
theft operation targeting businesses throughout the Tampa Bay area, the
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in a news release on Tuesday.
The investigation began after HCSO's Organized Retail Theft Unit
identified a group accused of stealing merchandise from multiple
retailers between June 1 and July 1. The suspects would conceal
merchandise, leave stores without paying, and take the stolen goods to a
residence, where they were resold, the sheriff’s office said. Detectives
arrested Quintana at the home on July 9 and served a court-authorized
search warrant. They recovered nearly $300,000 worth of merchandise that
investigators said had been stolen, including liquor from Sam's Club and
Walmart, clothing from Lululemon and Victoria's Secret, and high-end
fragrances from multiple retailers, the sheriff’s office said.

Los Angeles County, CA: L.A. County deputies recover nearly $200,000 in
stolen merchandise
Deputies seized nearly $200,000 worth of stolen merchandise and arrested
at least six people in the latest crackdown on fenced goods in the
MacArthur Park area and elsewhere in Los Angeles County, sheriff’s
officials announced Wednesday. The first raid took place Aug. 4 in the
700 blocks of South Serrano Avenue and Alvarado Street in coordination
with several major retailers, including Lululemon, Target, Alo, TJ Maxx
and Macy’s. “During the execution of the search warrants, investigators
identified and recovered approximately $39,238.23 in stolen merchandise,
which consisted of clothing, kitchenware, cosmetics and personal hygiene
products,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. Two
suspects, Cesar Santiago, 47, and Adriana Santiago, 22, were arrested
and booked on suspicion of organized retail theft and receiving stolen
property.

Castle Hills, TX: $100K+ worth of Pokémon cards stolen from Castle Hills
trading card shop
Four male suspects are wanted after allegedly breaking into a North Side
trading card store over the weekend and stealing merchandise worth
thousands of dollars, the Castle Hills Police Department said in a
Tuesday news release. Castle Hills police were dispatched around 3:25
a.m. Saturday to a business alarm at The PokeHive. Officers walked
through the front door, which had been forced open, to find shattered
display cases that held Pokémon trading cards, the department said. The
PokeHive store owner Cole Blancett said the four suspects stole more
than $100,000 worth of cards. Robberies of trading card stores are
common, according to Blancett, but the break-in still caught him off
guard. “Trading cards are the most liquid asset other than just stealing
cash out of the register,” Blancett said. “You can go to stores all over
town, be able to cash out and move product quickly — usually
anonymously.”

Indianapolis, IN: Indy man charged in $10,000 Louis Vuitton shoplifting
case
An Indianapolis man has been charged with felony theft after police say
he stole over $10,000 in merchandise from a north side Louis Vuitton
store. Reginald Newman, 31, was charged Tuesday in Marion Superior Court
19 with theft between $750 & $50k, a Level 6 felony. A warrant has since
been issued for his arrest, although he has not been booked into jail as
of this article’s publication. Court documents detail how, on May 22,
Newman came into the Louis Vuitton store inside The Fashion Mall at
Keystone and stole a hat box worth $10,500. He reportedly grabbed the
merchandise, hid it under a shopping bag from another store and walked
past the register. Employees working that day told police they
recognized Newman, as he had been involved in at least four previous
thefts from the store. Store officials reportedly had video evidence
of Newman stealing as well.

Shootings & Deaths
Cartersville, GA: 1 dead after Bartow deputy shoots suspect in Cartersville
What started as an investigation into a situation where a man was accused of
pointing a gun at McDonald's employees ended with him being shot and killed by a
deputy in Bartow County, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. The GBI said
31-year-old Marcus Maurice Williams died from his injuries. According to the GBI,
deputies were called to the McDonald's around 6:30 a.m. after receiving a call
about a man pointing a gun at employees at the fast food restaurant. The GBI
said they located the man, later identified as Williams, in a nearby parking lot
still holding the gun. According to GBI agents, Williams didn't comply with the
deputy's commands; he allegedly pointed the gun at the deputy and fired the
weapon. The deputy was not injured. Witnesses told 11Alive's Rarione Maniece
they saw the suspect point the weapon at the law enforcement officer. The deputy
returned fire, shooting Williams, the GBI said. He was taken to the hospital but
died. The Bartow County coroner also confirmed the death.

Oakland, CA: 7-Eleven left with thousands in damage after robbery, vandalism
A robbery, assault and vandalism at an Oakland 7-Eleven over the weekend left
the store with thousands of dollars in damage, and employees say a group of more
than a dozen teenagers was responsible. The Oakland Police Department is
investigating the incident, which happened around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when only
two workers were inside the store. Jay Singh, who has worked at the store for
about two months, said he was stocking items in the back when he heard someone
verbally assaulting his manager. Singh said a group of about 20 to 25 teenagers,
who appeared to be in their mid-to-late teens, were trying to steal chips and
drinks from the store. His manager asked them to put the items back and leave,
but Singh said they became aggressive, took some of the merchandise and left.
