Connecting Retail Crime Across
Jurisdictions
Beyond one theft: How real-time intelligence can connect retail crime
across jurisdictions
From a single shoplifting report to
a multijurisdictional investigation, Redmond police show how sharing
information helps uncover larger criminal networks
A shoplifting incident at a grocery store in Redmond, Washington,
might have appeared to be an isolated crime. But when investigators
connected that incident with information from other retailers and law
enforcement agencies, they discovered the suspect was linked to 20 fraud
and forgery cases across four counties.
For the Redmond Police Department, the case illustrates the value of
connecting information that might otherwise remain scattered among
individual businesses and jurisdictions.
Through its Real-Time Information Center (RTIC), the department
brings together digital evidence, retailer reports and
cross-jurisdictional intelligence to help investigators identify
patterns, connect suspects to multiple incidents and uncover larger
criminal networks.
A real-time intelligence center focused on
local needs
While larger metropolitan agencies often use real-time crime centers (RTCCs)
to support investigations of violent crime, Redmond has tailored its
intelligence operations to the types of offenses its officers encounter
most frequently.
One challenge is that retail theft investigations frequently involve
information held by different businesses and police departments. A
suspect may steal from one store in Redmond, another in a neighboring
city and a third several counties away. Without a way to connect
those reports, each incident may be investigated independently.
Redmond addresses that challenge in part through the Retail Crime
Hub, a platform developed by
Auror that
allows participating retailers and law enforcement agencies to share
reports and evidence.
Investigators can use information such as suspect descriptions,
vehicle license plates and surveillance footage to identify possible
connections between incidents across jurisdictions.
Washington law also allows thefts committed by the same person
against one or more retailers over a period of up to 180 days to be
aggregated for an organized retail theft charge. When the combined
value reaches $5,000, the offense can qualify as organized retail theft
in the first degree, a Class B felony.

AI's Expanding Role in Fighting Retail
Theft
Robox AI sees opportunity for smarter loss prevention in drug stores
AI is enabling retailers to analyze
multiple camera feeds simultaneously and identify behavioral patterns in
real time.
As pharmacy chains continue to grapple with shrink, organized retail
crime and employee safety concerns, artificial intelligence is
emerging as a new tool to help retailers move beyond traditional
surveillance methods.
Moving Beyond Traditional Surveillance
For decades, drug stores have relied on video cameras and security
personnel to monitor stores and investigate incidents. According to
Solomon, AI changes that dynamic by enabling retailers to analyze
multiple camera feeds simultaneously and identify behavioral patterns in
real time.
Rather than relying solely on object recognition or fixed surveillance
points, modern AI systems can evaluate actions within their broader
context, helping retailers identify suspicious activity as it unfolds.
The technology also makes video intelligence more accessible to
store and loss prevention teams. Through conversational search and
reporting capabilities, authorized users can locate incidents, ask
questions in plain language and generate reports without extensive
training on specialized software.
Another key advancement is the ability for AI models to continuously
improve. By incorporating operational feedback and reviewing false
positives or missed detections, systems can be refined over time to
improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary alerts.
Addressing Shrink and Organized Retail Crime
When suspicious activity is detected, staff can be notified and
encouraged to provide customer assistance or increase their presence in
a specific area, consistent with company policies. Solomon
emphasized that the company does not advocate apprehending suspects or
taking actions that could jeopardize employee safety.
Those insights can inform staffing decisions, merchandising strategies
and product placement changes designed to reduce opportunities for
theft.

Price Isn't Everything When It Comes
to Product Lockups
Why does Walmart lock up $8 toothpaste but leave a $100 item on the
shelf?
It may seem backward, but price
isn't necessarily what determines which products end up behind glass
For someone planning to resell stolen merchandise, an ideal product is
relatively small, easy to carry, readily available, and something
other people will actually buy. That's why seemingly mundane
products such as razors, cosmetics, laundry detergent, over-the-counter
medicine, and personal-care products can end up behind glass.
A National Retail Federation study of organized retail crime groups
found that they largely targeted everyday consumer goods because they
offered a combination of ease of theft, decent monetary value, and are
easy to resell.
For example, a bulky $100 patio chair may be worth significantly more
than a package of razors. But try stuffing a couple patio chairs into a
backpack.
Those boring household necessities have another characteristic that
can make them attractive for resale: People always need them.
Consumers continually buy more toothpaste, detergent, deodorant,
cosmetics, and medicine.
And selling a few discounted packages of razors or bottles of detergent
online may attract considerably less attention than trying to unload a
suspiciously cheap $1,500 television.
The NRF found that health and beauty products, infant products,
housewares, toys, and laundry products have all been frequent targets of
organized retail theft.

Smarter Tools for Safer Employees
AI’s Growing Role in Retail
Workplace Safety
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into retail
operations, its potential applications are expanding beyond inventory
management, customer service and loss prevention. Increasingly,
retailers are exploring how AI-powered tools can help improve
workplace safety, identify operational hazards and support employees in
environments where conditions can change quickly.
For asset protection and loss prevention professionals, these
developments present an opportunity to take a more proactive role in
protecting employees and strengthening overall store safety.
One promising application involves the use of AI-powered video
analytics to identify potential workplace hazards. Systems can be
trained to recognize conditions such as blocked emergency exits, spills,
overcrowded stockrooms or unsafe movement of equipment. Rather than
relying exclusively on periodic inspections or employee reports, these
technologies can help alert store personnel to potential problems as
they emerge.
AI is also being explored as a tool for improving employee training.
Adaptive learning platforms can tailor safety instruction to specific
job responsibilities, experience levels and identified knowledge gaps.
For example, warehouse employees may receive targeted guidance on
equipment handling, while store associates may benefit from additional
training on emergency procedures, ergonomics and accident prevention.
Another area of potential value is predictive safety analysis. By
examining historical incident reports, staffing patterns and operational
data, AI systems may help retailers identify recurring hazards or
conditions associated with workplace injuries. These insights could
allow management teams to adjust procedures, improve training or address
environmental risks before additional incidents occur.
However, the adoption of AI-driven safety tools also raises important
questions about employee privacy, data collection and transparency.
Retailers must establish clear guidelines governing how information is
gathered, who can access it and how it will be used. Maintaining
employee trust will be essential as these technologies become more
widespread.
For AP/LP leaders, the challenge will be determining where AI can
deliver measurable safety improvements without creating unnecessary
complexity or surveillance concerns.
Ultimately, AI is unlikely to replace the importance of employee
awareness, effective training and established safety procedures.
Instead, its greatest value may come from helping retailers identify
risks earlier, respond more consistently and create safer working
environments for employees across their operations.
Failed Retail Merger Lawsuit
Albertsons suing Kroger for $8B over failed merger
Albertsons Cos. is accusing The Kroger Co. of breaching a 2022
agreement that would have seen Kroger acquire Albertsons.
In an Oct. 12 legal filing in Delaware Chancery Court, Albertsons
claims Kroger owes it between $5.43 billion and $6.88 billion in lost
premium damages resulting from a $24.6 billion merger agreement between
the two companies which Kroger terminated in December 2024.
Albertsons also says it is owed a tax gross-up of between $1.4 billion
and $1.7 billion, as well as a $600 million termination fee and other
related losses including loss of shareholder value for a total of more
than $8 billion.
The court is scheduled to begin hearing the lawsuit Monday, Oct. 19. It
is the latest development in a long string of events that began in
October 2022 when Kroger agreed to buy Albertsons Companies for $34.10 a
share in a deal valued at $24.6 billion. The deal included
approximately $4.7 billion of Albertsons’ net debt.
In September 2023, the two supermarket giants entered into an
agreement to sell 413 stores (locations at end of article) and eight
distribution centers across 17 states to C&S Wholesale Grocers LLC for
$1.9 billion in cash as part of the plan to gain regulatory approval.
However, in early 2024, the proposed merger was delayed from its
original expected March 2024 completion date due to ongoing discussions
with regulators from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which then sued
to block the merger, saying it would result in higher prices for
shoppers and lower wages for workers.
A bipartisan group of nine attorneys general joined the FTC’s federal
court complaint, which was also supported by workers’ unions for
employees of both companies.
After more legal wrangling and rulings from federal and county courts in
Oregon and Washington that blocked the merger in December 2024,
Albertsons initially filed breach-of-contract claims in Delaware
Chancery Court, claiming that Kroger failed to exercise its “best
efforts” to secure regulatory approval of the deal.

Beyond Injury Reduction:
Building a Durable Workforce From Hire to Retire
Employees should experience safety
as an investment in their long-term well-being, not merely an effort to
keep them off an injury report.
For decades, environmental, health and safety (EHS) professionals
have worked to reduce injuries, strengthen controls and create safer
workplaces. That work remains essential. But injury rates alone
cannot tell us whether employees are becoming healthier, more capable or
better prepared for the demands of a long career.
Consider an employee who completes 30 years without a recordable injury
but enters retirement with declining mobility, persistent discomfort and
little energy for activities they enjoy. Is that the full picture of
success?
When programs are defined mainly by recordables and lost workdays, we
risk overlooking the person behind the numbers. Employees should
experience safety as an investment in their long-term well-being, not
merely an effort to keep them off an injury report.
The larger objective should be building employee durability—from hire to
retire and beyond. Injury reduction remains a critical outcome, but
it is not the entire mission.

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. |

Businesses Face Growing Cyber, AI
Risks
Businesses need more integrated risk management to counter cyberattacks,
AI-powered fraud
Risks are growing at a time when
companies rely more than ever on vendors for cybersecurity, according to
a new report.
Roughly three-quarters of the 1,100 business leaders interviewed for
the report said cybersecurity incidents were one of the biggest risks to
their firms’ performance over the next two years. But barely half of
leaders said they were highly confident in their organization’s ability
to identify a sophisticated cyberattack when one struck.
Data quality and visibility is the biggest hindrance to organizations’
cyber resilience, Grant Thornton found, with 65% of respondents
raising it as a concern. Other major challenges include
technological limitations (62%), network complexity (62%) and
supply-chain dependencies (58%).
Suppliers are “becoming an important source of defensive capability,”
according to Grant Thornton. With businesses struggling to hire
cybersecurity experts, third-party security firms are filling the
resulting gap. “Virtually all (96%) of our survey respondents said their
organizations are using some level of outsourced capabilities for
cybersecurity threat detection and response,” Grant Thornton said in its
report.
At the same time, linkages between vendors and internal systems are
scattershot, perhaps reflecting concerns about risk exposure but
possibly also indicating an immaturity in some customer-vendor
relationships. Only one-quarter of business leaders told Grant Thornton
that their third-party cybersecurity providers are “integrated with
internal processes, using automation and shared tooling.”
AI figures heavily into organizations’ risk evaluations, but many firms
still lack the processes and technology to adequately oversee sprawling
AI deployments. Only 26% of business leaders said their organizations
had “advanced, integrated AI governance with data-driven monitoring,”
Grant Thornton said. Nearly six in 10 respondents said their company’s
use of AI and their limited ability to govern it represented “a top
source of future risk or regulatory scrutiny.”
AI-enabled fraud is growing as a source of business risk, with
55% of leaders citing it as a major fraud concern, although traditional
phishing and other forms of cyber-enabled fraud still worried more
respondents.

Refrigeration Flaws Exposed Before
Retail Cyberattacks
(Update) Dangerous flaws in refrigeration equipment were disclosed
months before retail attacks
Hundreds of French supermarkets
faced a sophisticated cyberattack, allowing hackers to manipulate
industrial controls.
Months before hackers targeted refrigeration equipment across
hundreds of grocery stores in France, a U.S.-based cybersecurity firm
discovered high-severity flaws in internet-exposed equipment that
could make such an attack possible.
Hackers reportedly were able to manipulate refrigeration systems in
an attack beginning late Sunday, raising the temperature to 120
degrees Fahrenheit, leading to fires and spoiled food supplies.
Researchers at Claroty, in an August report, warned of multiple flaws
in the web management interface of Danfoss AK-SM 800A controllers, which
are used in refrigeration equipment across multiple industries.
Researchers demonstrated the ability of a malicious hacker to shut
off cooling to a compromised controller, while staff using the
equipment would still believe temperatures were normal.
Claroty disclosed the vulnerabilities to Danfoss, and the Danish
manufacturer issued an advisory for two vulnerabilities, including
CVE-2025-41451 and CVE-2025-41452.
The company issued a new firmware version for the vulnerabilities in
2025, and Claroty researchers discussed the findings at a presentation
at DEF CON in Las Vegas in August.
ANSSI, the French national cybersecurity agency, released an updated
advisory on Tuesday, warning the attacks also impacted Copeland xweb
and Dixell xweb controllers. There is no specific information on any
threat actor that may be behind the attacks.

AI Agents Emerge as Insider Threats
Most companies count AI agents as insiders, and CISOs worry about their
own liability
Software that works on an employee’s behalf is now turning up in
incident reports. At 95% of the companies in a Trellix survey of 600
CISOs, an AI agent or other autonomous system was linked to an
insider incident in the past 12 months.
The agent logs in, reaches sensitive systems, and acts for a person
using that person’s permissions. Most respondents already count it that
way: 78% include AI agents and machine identities in their definition
of insider risk. They work at companies with more than 1,000
employees in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
Most of the damage is still human
Among the 587 companies that reported an insider incident, accidental
or careless actions by employees and trusted users made up 43% of
incidents on average. Deliberate abuse by those same people made up
29%, and AI or autonomous systems 28%. The 95% counts any linked
incident, so it says nothing about how many were serious.

Can AI Agents Handle Returns?
AI Robots Are Ready for Whatever Shoppers Send Back
Every returned item has to be picked up, identified and sorted before it
can be sold again, and that work has long resisted automation.
“If a system only works on articles it has seen before, it does not work
in a returns operation at all,” Ralf Gulde, co-founder and CEO of German
robotics software company Sereact, said in an Oct. 7 announcement of a
new artificial intelligence-powered returns processing system.
Robots powered by Sereact’s AI are now sorting returned clothing for
Berlin-based online fashion retailer Zalando, with 62 million active
customers. CEVA Logistics, the Marseille-based logistics arm of
French shipping group CMA CGM, runs the robots at fulfillment sites in
Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland.
Sereact’s AI lets the robots handle objects they have never seen.
The three companies called it the first phase of a plan to scale returns
automation across Europe.
Sereact Robots Sort Clothes Without
Item-by-Item Training
The dual-arm robots grasp, identify and sort returned fashion items
without article-specific training or predetermined article sets, the
companies said. They run on Cortex, Sereact’s AI platform. CEVA delivers
the system to Zalando as Robotics-as-a-Service.
With the robots taking over repetitive handling, warehouse teams can
shift to station supervision, exception management and quality control,
the companies said. Chris Walton, senior vice president of contract
logistics at CEVA, called returns handling “one of the toughest
challenges” in logistics. He said the service classifies items faster,
cuts manual touchpoints and keeps quality consistent at scale.
58% of Merchants See AI Agents Handling Returns
Merchants expect AI to take on more of the returns process. Among 1,185
merchants in the U.S., Brazil and the UAE, 58% agree at least
somewhat that AI agents will automate returns, refunds and issue
resolution, according to the PYMNTS Intelligence report “The Agentic
Commerce Deep Dive: Payment Infrastructure and the Path to Trust for
Merchants.”
Merchants also want to keep control. In the same report, 38%
named return and refund rules as a non-negotiable area where they need
to retain control over AI agents. Shoppers are more open. Among 5,241
consumers surveyed, 46% said they would let an AI agent initiate returns
for them.

The Future of Human Employees at
Amazon
Amazon has over 1 million robot workers. What’s next for human
employees?
The second-largest corporate
employer has bet big on robot workers to scale.
No organization in the world operates more robots than Amazon. The
company already has more than 1 million robots working in warehouses
around the clock to make tens of millions of same-day and one-day
package deliveries happen on a daily basis—and Amazon is poised to
significantly grow that robotic fleet in the coming years as it
establishes new factories to churn out increasingly more capable robot
workers.
Despite deploying so many robots, Amazon is also the second-largest
corporate employer in the world, with more than 1.5 million full-time
and part-time human workers, according to its 2025 annual report.
Amazon executives say that the growing robot fleet has eased the burden
on its human workforce by taking on the toughest fulfillment center
tasks that carry the greatest risks of physical fatigue and injury. But
labor advocacy groups and independent researchers point to evidence
suggesting that warehouse automation driven by AI is not all upside for
the humans who work alongside robots.
“For the last 100 years, most of the automation that we’ve seen usually
happens away from workers—you’re taking that high-risk task away from
the worker, and you’re doing so in a way that is not physically
proximate,” Brad Greenwood, professor of business at George Mason
University, told Ars. “The rise of collaborative robots really changes
that dynamic for two reasons: one is that it is physically proximate,
and two, the robot has the ability to dictate the pace of work.”
In many ways, robotics and AI are well suited to the relentless pace
of work that is already happening inside e-commerce fulfillment centers.
Amazon’s promise of speedy deliveries for its 200 million Prime
subscribers in particular requires hundreds of thousands of human
employees to speedily assemble and ship out customer orders that often
combine a dizzying array of products.

Shootings & Deaths
Los Angeles, CA: Update: Man convicted of murder in Trader Joe's shootout faces
sentencing
A man was convicted of murder in the second trial stemming from a shootout with
LAPD officers outside a Trader Joe's in Silver Lake that resulted in the tragic
death of a store employee faces sentencing Wednesday in a Los Angeles courtroom.
Gene Atkins, 36, was convicted in August of second-degree murder in the second
of two trials over the shootout. The charge included an allegation that he
personally used and discharged a firearm during the July 21, 2018 crime in the
neighborhood north of downtown Los Angeles. Atkins is facing up to 273 years
and eight months to life in state prison as a result of his conviction on 41
criminal counts. During the shootout, assistant store manager Melyda "Mely"
Maricela Corado, 27, was caught in the crossfire and struck by bullet fired by a
LAPD officer. Jurors spent about three hours in deliberations before returning
their verdict, which included the panel finding true allegations that Atkins
personally used and discharged a firearm during the crime. Second-degree murder
involves the an unlawful killing with malice aforethought, but does not require
premeditation or deliberation.
