The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
The Difficult Job of a Store Security
Guard
Supermarket security guard reveals grim reality of working on 'out of
control' high streets - including daily death threats from brazen
shoplifting gangs
A supermarket security guard has revealed the grim reality of working on
Britain's crime-ridden high streets. Kane Manning, 27, described the
UK's shoplifting problem as 'out of control', claiming he receives
daily death threats from brazen gangs.
 The
guard explained these groups were targeting stores to steal vast
quantities of luxury items, with £500 of goods nabbed every day from
the supermarket he works at. He claimed that the crisis has accelerated
in the last year under the Labour government.
The shop staff member said: 'It's one hundred percent got worse since
the new government came in. They're not doing anything at all. I get
death threats on a daily basis when confronting people leaving the store
with stolen goods.'
The security guard put the surge in shoplifting down to rampant
TikTok trends, which suggest fraudulent discount codes that thieves
can use at self-checkouts to bag discounts of up to 90 per cent. He said
that the shoplifting epidemic was putting security guards like him in
danger and called on the government to step in.
Last month, a Labour minister admitted shoplifting had 'got out of
hand' amid fury at advice telling shopkeepers to avoid sharing pictures
of thieves.

Most Americans Support Using Facial
Rec to Fight Crime
Huge grocery chain takes bold step to fight shoplifting, retail theft
About half of Americans (46%) believe that police using facial
recognition is a good idea. Still, 27% think it's a bad idea, and
another 27% are not sure about law enforcement using the technology,
according to Pew Research.
"Americans see widespread use of facial recognition technology by police
as likely to usher in both benefits and risks. In terms of potential
benefits, about three-fourths or more say police would probably or
definitely find more missing persons (78%) and solve crimes more quickly
and efficiently (74%)," the study showed.
One United Kingdom-based chain has been open about using it. If the
grocery chain succeeds in using artificial intelligence (AI) and facial
recognition to cut down on shoplifting, that could pave the way for
U.S. leaders like Target and Walmart to adopt the technology.
While many Americans may not know the Sainsbury's name, the company is
the second-largest grocery chain in the United Kingdom. It's planning
to introduce facial recognition technology across its supermarkets
in a bid to identify shoplifters, according to the BBC.
"The retail sector is at a crossroads, facing rising abuse, anti-social
behaviour and violence," said Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts. "We must
put safety first."
Facewatch is also being used in multiple other UK retailers
including Spar, Sports Direct, Whitehall Garden Centers, and more.

Canada Making Progress Against Retail
Theft?
Retail theft reports drop 31%: WPS
Windsor has seen a 31 per cent drop in retail theft reports over
the last year, according to Windsor police. Police say the success is
being driven by the Retail Crime Unit, a dedicated team zeroing in
on shoplifters, repeat offenders, and organized retail crime.
“Retail theft has a significant impact on businesses, employees, and the
community as a whole,” said Jennifer Crosby, Inspector of Patrol
Support. “The work of this unit is ensuring that repeat offenders are
identified and held accountable, while also addressing organized
groups that exploit our retailers. These results reflect the dedication
of our members and the importance of strong partnerships with local
businesses.”
In September 2024, the specialized unit began focusing efforts on a
costly and growing issue. Canadian retailers lost an estimated $9.1
billion to shoplifting and organized theft last year, according to
the Retail Council of Canada. The losses hurt businesses and drive up
prices for consumers.
Police say the Retail Crime Unit’s strength lies in its focused,
data-driven approach. Officers proactively track repeat offenders,
connect thefts across multiple locations, and share intelligence with
police in neighbouring regions. They also maintain close partnerships
with local retailers, helping businesses tighten prevention strategies
and ensuring store owners know they aren’t facing the problem alone.
Since its launch, the Retail Crime Unit has solved a total of 570
shoplifting-related incidents, including four directly tied to
organized crime groups. This represents a 14 per cent improvement
in solved cases compared to the previous year. Nearly 51 per cent of
those arrested were repeat offenders, showing how the unit is
successfully targeting recidivist offenders.

The Ripple Effect of Locked Up
Merchandise
Locked-up merchandise is driving customers away
While this crime prevention strategy may deter theft, it is also
preventing something else: sales. Recent studies show that customers
are fed up with locked-up merchandise, and many are considering
shopping elsewhere as a result.
A study by Retail Dive found that more than half of all surveyed
customers have encountered locked-up products, and
27% of those shoppers have either abandoned a purchase or considered
switching retailers entirely because of this inconvenience.
If you live in a more urban area of the Western U.S., such as Los
Angeles, the Inland Empire, or Las Vegas, Retail Dive reports that you
are even more likely to have encountered locked-up products. This
counterproductive situation is pushing retailers to explore other
ways to deter theft while still keeping shoppers.
Some retailers, including CVS, are experimenting with new apps that
allow vetted shoppers to unlock these cabinets for easier access to
merchandise. CVS told KTLA, “Retail theft is a challenge for all
retailers. We know keeping products locked up can be inconvenient, but
it’s important that we keep products in stock and available for our
customers.”
While retailers work on new strategies, one of the biggest winners in
all of this may be online shopping, which Lazarus says offers the
best chance for a hassle-free experience.

Home Depot's Massive ORC Bust 'Years
in the Making'
How Home Depot uncovered the biggest alleged retail theft in its history
Last month, felony charges were
filed against members of a California group who allegedly stole more
than $7 million of electrical merchandise.
The bust last month of members of an alleged organized retail theft ring
in California that Home Depot said was the largest in its history was
the result of a corporate investigation years in the making.
In an exclusive interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a Home
Depot official detailed how the company tracked the alleged members,
helped build a case internally based on surveillance footage and other
evidence, and helped law enforcement agencies make arrests.
In Southern California, prosecutors say alleged participants swiped
electrical merchandise — such as dimmer switches, circuit breakers and
outlets — from multiple Home Depot stores. That merchandise was
allegedly resold through the group leader’s business. Felony charges
were filed against nine individuals in late August.
The value of the stolen goods soared to more than $7 million, said
Scott Glenn, Home Depot’s vice president of
asset protection. There were 600 thefts this year alone by
the group, prosecutors said.

Using AI to Boost LP
Retailers Invest in AI-Driven Tools to
Boost Loss Prevention Efficiency
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As retailers adapt to a rapidly evolving operating environment, loss
prevention leaders are increasingly looking to technology to streamline
processes, improve accuracy, and better support store operations. While
much of the conversation around loss prevention technology centers on
combating theft, many retailers are also using these tools to improve
safety, efficiency, and compliance in ways unrelated to crime.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision systems are among
the most significant investments. Retailers are deploying cameras
equipped with AI analytics to monitor stock levels, ensure merchandise
is shelved correctly, and flag operational hazards such as spills or
blocked exits. These applications reduce labor-intensive tasks, allowing
associates to focus on customers while minimizing potential liabilities.
Workforce safety has also become a priority. Some retailers are using
wearable devices and real-time monitoring platforms to track fatigue,
posture, and movement among employees in warehouses and distribution
centers. The goal is to reduce workplace injuries and downtime,
while improving overall productivity.
Another emerging use of technology is compliance tracking. Smart
sensors and cloud-based dashboards are helping retailers verify that
emergency doors remain unobstructed, refrigeration units maintain proper
temperatures, and food safety standards are consistently met. By
automating these checks, loss prevention teams can quickly identify
issues before they escalate into costly problems.
Industry experts note that these investments are also shaping the
role of loss prevention professionals. The focus is shifting beyond
theft deterrence to include risk mitigation, operational support, and
customer experience. “Today’s LP leaders are expected to be
cross-functional,” one consultant told the D&D Daily. “They’re not just
preventing loss from crime, but also protecting assets, employees, and
brand reputation through smarter systems.”
As retailers continue to face tight labor markets and rising costs, the
adoption of AI and automation in loss prevention is expected to grow.
While theft will remain a core concern, the next wave of LP innovation
may have just as much to do with keeping stores efficient, safe, and
compliant as it does with stopping crime.
93% of Grocery Execs Calls AI a
'Necessity'
How grocers are using AI today—and what’s next
AI means something different to
every retailer—and their level of adoption reflects that range.
"Right now, retailers sit on a spectrum—from simply being aware that
AI exists to being off and running with agentic tools"
Currently, 93% of grocery C-suite leaders believe AI will be a
necessity to compete in the future, up from 81% in 2023, according
to Grocery Doppio survey data. AI adoption will unlock $153 billion in
value by 2030 across the supply chain, store operations, merchandising,
and marketing, and more.
While most executives (79%) believe AI will have greater impact on
operational efficiency, 21% believe it will also greatly impact the
customer experience (CX). Weis Markets is focusing on CX, using AI
to speed up self-checkout.
“Over 72% of our store transactions go through self-checkout,”
said Greg Zeh, senior vice president and chief information officer at
Weis Markets. “And now we’re using video AI for product recognition
[which] takes that interaction from five seconds down to a half a
second.”
Retailers should focus their AI efforts on where they can create the
most value. “It’s really about where the retailer finds themselves
differentiating and how they want to align or enable a consumer to
leverage technology in that journey or that relationship with that
retailer,” said Zeh.

Job Cuts Hitting the Retail Industry
Do Sweeping Retail Job Cuts Signal a Challenging Seasonal Jobs Market
for 2025’s Holiday Season?
According to the figures, retailers axed 83,656 positions this year,
as of the end of August — an uptick of 242% versus retail jobs cut
during the same time frame in 2024. Concerning the month of August more
specifically, retail shed 3,169 positions in 2025, versus 1,412 the year
prior.
“Retailers are being hard hit by tariffs, inflation, and ongoing
economic uncertainty causing bankruptcies and closures,” said Andrew
Challenger, senior VP and jobs expert for Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
“If tariffs and consumer spending constraints play out, the approaching
holiday shopping season may see fewer seasonal hires and, in fact, high
layoffs.”
Overall, macroeconomic concerns (“market and economic conditions”) as
well as the closure of stores, units, or plants were most pertinent
reasons cited as being behind the bulk of retail job losses.
Automation, specifically concerning the rise and implementation of AI,
was also brought forth as a significant pressure on jobs, more broadly,
as were DOGE cuts — although the latter may not have held as much
bearing on private sector retail positions.
Things may not bode well for September’s numbers in terms of
anticipated job creation, either, a potential ill omen regarding the
upcoming (and very crucial) holiday season for retailers.

Preparation is Key
Don’t be Afraid of OSHA
Rethink your attitude toward
Occupational Safety and Health Administration and inspections. How you
prepare for and respond to OSHA is entirely within your sphere of
influence.
You train for emergencies and natural disasters, but do you train for
inspections from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA)? Do you even have an OSHA inspection protocol?
If not, you should, says Phillip Russell, shareholder at Ogletree,
Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart PC. Preparedness can make the
difference in life and death. Preparedness can also reinforce the
importance of rules and regulations, which can, in turn, make workplaces
safer while also mitigating risk exposure.

Retail Has a Target on Its Back
What do cybercriminals know about the retail sector that we don’t?
The past few months have seen a
parade of household names in retail get breached. Are cybercriminals
merely targeting big brands, or is the industry itself uniquely
vulnerable?
The UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025 suggests
retailers are not alone in suffering cyberattacks, with more 40% of
all businesses, both large and small, reporting some kind of incident in
the past year.
Even so, the retail sector doesn’t seem to be doing itself any favours
in this respect. The same survey showed that 44% of respondents from
the industry classed cybersecurity as a low priority, compared to a
cross-sector average of 27%. Only 22% of retailers or wholesalers,
meanwhile, are likely to have a board member with explicit
responsibility to manage cyber-defence strategy, again lagging way
behind other sectors. And as if it were not enough to have too little
internal resource, the industry is also among the least likely to seek
external advice on cybersecurity: only 27% compared to 42% for
businesses overall.
Could this be why hackers are looking at the sector and making a tidy
profit? The same survey suggests that the industry is virgin
territory, as only 11% experienced an incident of a cybercrime in 2025,
a fall from 18% the previous year.
Even when the sector was not so clearly in the firing line, the cost was
high. A study by global financial technology platform Adyen found that
in 2023 alone, UK retailers lost more than £11bn to cybercrime.
With the sights of hackers now firmly trained on retailers, that figure
could skyrocket.
“All companies can be targets, but any organisation with a lot of
consumer data should consider itself at higher risk,” says Andrew
Northage, regulatory and compliance partner at UK law firm Walker
Morris. “Stolen customer data is valuable to fraudsters. So, retail is
particularly vulnerable because retailers store large quantities of
consumer data.”
With so much to lose, retailers should be taking more care to protect
themselves, but that is no easy feat. The scale of their operations
means their businesses have many moving parts. Their supply chains are
long and complex, involving an intricate and ever-changing network of
suppliers.

Another Company Impacted by
Cyberattack
Bridgestone Americas continues probe as it looks to restore operations
The tiremaker disclosed a
cyberattack just days after Jaguar Land Rover was impacted by a major
hack that also disrupted production at certain locations.
Bridgestone Americas is continuing to investigate a cyberattack that
disrupted operations at certain facilities and said it expects to
return to normal operations within days.
The tire company, a subsidiary of Japan-based Bridgestone, said it was
impacted by a “limited cyber incident” that forced it to pause
operations at certain manufacturing locations.
Bridgestone Americas remains confident that it was able to contain
the attack early on in the process and does not currently believe
any customer data or interfaces were compromised, according to a
spokesperson.
“Although some plants were impacted, we have been methodically
returning them back to full operation without incident and expect
this to be completed over the next few days,” the spokesperson told
Cybersecurity Dive Monday.
The company’s top priority has been on maintaining business
continuity and protecting data and interfaces, the spokesperson
said. Bridgestone Americas is still conducting a forensic analysis of
the attack and is “working diligently” to address any further issues
related to it while meeting its customer obligations, according to the
spokesperson.

Is AI Distracting Tech Giants?
How AI and politics hampered the secure open-source software movement
Tech giants pledged millions to
secure open-source code. Then AI came along.
The Log4Shell vulnerability in a popular Java logging tool convinced the
Biden administration to focus on open-source security and prompted major
tech companies including Amazon, Google and Microsoft to pledge tens
of millions of dollars to security improvements. Much of that work
occurred through the Linux Foundation’s Open Source Security Foundation
(OpenSSF), which created numerous tools to help developers analyze and
address their code’s risks.
But what began with a White House summit and an ambitious industry-wide
“mobilization plan” soon encountered challenges. A tantalizing new
technology known as generative AI distracted the tech giants funding the
work, and a political transition in the U.S. extinguished government
efforts to keep the industry on track.
Overcoming those obstacles and doubling down on open-source security
is essential, experts told Cybersecurity Dive, given how pervasive
the code is in everything from critical infrastructure to everyday home
computing.

Do E-Commerce Platforms Censor
Negative Reviews?
60% users say e-commerce platforms block negative reviews: Survey
E-commerce platforms face scrutiny
over fake or censored reviews, with calls for mandatory government
enforcement of BIS standards
Six in 10 Indian e-commerce shoppers report their low ratings or
negative reviews were not published at least once in the past year,
according to community platform LocalCircles. The survey found 8 in 10
consumers favour government-mandated standards for online reviews and
ratings.
The findings highlight growing concerns about review authenticity as
India’s internet user base approaches 900 million this year. The surge
has fuelled the growth of platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy,
and Zomato, where customer reviews prominently influence purchasing
decisions.
Reviews affect more than just sales — they impact brand perception,
customer loyalty, and search engine rankings. Google considers
review quantity and quality in local search algorithms, making online
reputation management crucial for businesses.
The review manipulation issue arises as Indian consumers increasingly
rely on peer feedback to evaluate product quality, performance, and
service reliability across the country’s rapidly expanding digital
commerce ecosystem.
Forty-one per cent of consumers always check ratings and reviews
before making a purchase, while 60 per cent prefer apps with
high-quality review information, according to the LocalCircles survey of
64,000 respondents across 314 districts. The survey included 62 per cent
male and 38 per cent female respondents.

Illegal Amazon Firing?
Amazon fires 150 unionized third-party drivers, Teamsters says
Union says ‘Amazon is breaking the
law’ after drivers working for contractor Cornucopia were terminated
Amazon has fired more than 150 unionized drivers working for a
third-party contractor in Queens, New York, according to the Teamsters
union.
Workers rallied at the company’s DBK4 facility in Queens on Monday after
the company fired the drivers, who worked for Cornucopia, a delivery
service provider (DSP) that Amazon contracted with to make deliveries.
Amazon works with more than 3,000 DSPs around the world who
deliver the company’s packages.
The Teamsters said the firings were in retaliation for unionizing.
“Amazon is breaking the law and we let the public know it,” said
Antonio Rosario, a member of local 804 and a Teamster organizer, in a
statement. “Amazon workers will continue to organize and fight for what
they deserve.”

Syracuse, NY: Group in masks steals from Macy’s at Destiny USA and flees
in 2 stolen cars; some caught 50 miles away
A group of masked people in dark clothing stole men’s merchandise from
Macy’s at Destiny USA on Tuesday and fled from police in two stolen
cars, troopers said. The theft happened around 11 a.m., according to
Syracuse police. Officers initially pursued two cars leaving the mall
but stopped the chase. A short time later, State Police spotted one of
the cars and chased it east on the state Thruway (I-90) where it crashed
in the city of Oneida, said Trooper Jennifer Jiron, a state police
spokesperson. The driver, who was alone in the car, suffered
non-life-threatening injuries and was taken into custody, she said. The
second car was later found near Route 291 in Marcy. Three suspects ran
from the vehicle, sparking a coordinated search involving State Police,
the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, State Park Police, New York Mills,
Whitestown, Whitesboro and Yorkville police, the state Department of
Environmental Conservation, and other agencies, troopers said. Those
three suspects were taken into custody Tuesday, police said. Troopers
did not release the names of the four people arrested at this time.

No Policy is Better Than Inconsistent Policy
The only thing worse than no policy is
inconsistent policy. If rules aren’t enforced equally, they breed
resentment, confusion, and loopholes. Consistency isn’t just fair—it’s
strategic. Everyone needs to know what’s expected and what happens when
it’s not met.
