How Organized Retail Crime is Threatening the Retail Industry
 Organized
Retail Crime (ORC), the coordinated theft of merchandise for resale, has
grown exponentially in the U.S., necessitating increased security
measures and even causing store closures. The issue is projected to
escalate, demanding modern, tactical security solutions that allow
retailers and law enforcement to combat ORC while maintaining a pleasant
shopping environment.
Cloud video security is a powerful tool in fighting ORC.
OpenEye's comprehensive
guide delves into the current methods for defining and measuring ORC's
impact on businesses and the economy. It explores effective security
strategies for mitigating inventory loss and enhancing the shopping
experience. The guide also highlights the advantages of cloud video
surveillance in tackling ORC, and how the integration of other security
systems can provide a more robust solution for retailers.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
'Lowest Property Crime Rate Ever' in
2025?
It's Not Just Murder That's Likely At Historic Lows
The US is on track to record the lowest violent crime rate since
1968 and lowest property crime rate ever
Early crime data for 2025 — when considered in context of the nation’s
crime trends in 2023 and 2024 — points to new historic lows being
reached this year. The available data from 2024 and the first third
of of 2025 suggests a strong possibility that the United States will
report the lowest murder rate ever recorded, the
lowest property rate ever recorded, and the lowest violent
crime rate since 1968.
The Real-Time Crime Index (RTCI) launched last September and has since
provided monthly assessments of US crime trends. The sample has grown
from between 290 and 300 agencies in the first few months to more than
400 in last month’s sample.
First, the RTCI’s most recent sample covers nearly 380 agencies making
up more than 95 million people nationwide (though not ever agency
reports every crime type). History has shown that a sample of this
size is reasonably accurate at predicting the year-end percent change
even this early in the year so long as nothing historic like COVID and
the summer of 2020 occurs (knocks on wood).
What gives me confidence to publish this analysis in June 2025 is that
the margins for the conclusion aren’t particularly tight. The US is
on track to record a substantially lower violent crime rate than every
year since the moon landing. And the
nation’s reported property crime rate should be much lower than any
property crime rate ever recorded even if you're conservative
in just how much you think it’s falling.
Does that mean that every city is seeing large declines, that there
is not room for continued improvement, or that every crime type is at a
historic low everywhere? Of course not. But it does provide context
for how frequent crime is reported in the United States and hopefully
incentivizes a better understanding of why these lows are being reached.
And with all that in mind, it’s definitely plausible — likely even —
that the US in 2025 will report the lowest murder and property crime
rates ever recorded to go along with the lowest violent crime in
more than 55 years. For confirmation of this assessment, however, we
will have to wait another 16 months.

Criminals Are Coordinating - So Must
We
Fighting ORC Takes More Than Cameras —
It Takes Collaboration
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As organized retail crime (ORC) grows more sophisticated, so must our
response. No longer confined to shoplifters acting alone, ORC rings
operate with coordination, speed and violence — often targeting multiple
retailers across jurisdictions. Combatting this level of threat
requires more than in-store deterrents. It demands collaboration.
Retailers, law enforcement and lawmakers each hold part of the solution.
When those parts work in isolation, ORC networks exploit the gaps. But
when they coordinate — sharing intelligence, aligning on prosecution
standards and investing in prevention strategies — we see results.
Take regional ORC task forces, which have helped law enforcement
agencies connect the dots between thefts across cities and states.
Retailers that proactively report incidents, share surveillance and join
intelligence-sharing platforms are helping build stronger cases —
not just chasing shoplifters, but dismantling the crews behind them.
Meanwhile, state and federal lawmakers are stepping up with tougher
penalties, funding for task forces and legislative clarity around
what qualifies as organized crime. But that momentum depends on ongoing
input from retailers who see the frontlines daily.
The reality is, no one sector can go it alone. Stores can’t arrest.
Police can’t prosecute without evidence. Lawmakers can’t legislate in a
vacuum. True progress comes when each group plays its role — in sync,
not in silos.
As ORC continues to evolve, collaboration isn’t just helpful — it’s
non-negotiable. The criminals are
coordinating. So must we.
Cargo Theft Reaching 'Crisis Stage'
IMC’S Lemm says cargo theft is getting worse
The rise of cargo theft in the American supply chain has reached a
crisis stage that urgently needs tougher federal legislation and
more crime-fighting resources, according to Donna Lemm, Chief Strategy
Officer, IMC Logistics, based in Collierville, Tennessee.
In an interview with AJOT, Lemm said: “The rapid rise of cargo theft
and fraud over the past few years is so real and so prevalent throughout
our supply chain, that yesterday we had questions and comments from
every aspect of our industry sharing recent experiences. The need for
federal enforcement and prosecution was shared and reiterated by AGTC
members. What is happening is that strategic theft of high-value goods
has grown exponentially over the past couple of years. Statistically,
it's hard to zero in on what that real number is because so much of this
crime is not reported.”
Currently, Lemm believes federal laws are not tough enough: “The
$1.5 M (federal legal) threshold is the cargo value amount stolen needed
to prosecute criminals at a federal level, not a state level. The issue,
of course, is that this threshold of $1.5M is too high. We need
legislation that will move this threshold to $100K or lower, ideally
classifying cargo theft as a standalone federal crime if it crosses
state lines. The proposed CORCA bill (Combating
Organized Retail Crime Act) would allow aggregation of
multiple crimes to meet the threshold.”
Lemm added that: “The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act has been
introduced in the Senate with a companion bill in the House to crack
down on cargo theft at the federal level and to create a central
location within the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate local,
state, and federal response to organized retail theft … There is
also the Household Goods Consumer Protection Act introduced by Senator
Deb Fisher (R-Nebraska) with the goal of protecting consumers and giving
FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) authority to levy
civil penalties on these fraudulent bad actors attacking our supply
chain.”

From California to Texas, ORC is Alive

Texas Retail Theft Case Underscores National Scope of Organized Crime
A sweeping retail theft investigation in North Texas has resulted in the
recovery of approximately $1 million in stolen merchandise and an
additional $636,000 in cash, illustrating that organized retail
theft is not a problem unique to California.
The case adds to mounting evidence that retail theft rings are
operating across state lines, often involving coordinated criminal
efforts and significant financial losses. Law enforcement officials
say that dismantling these networks requires sustained cooperation
between local agencies, state investigators, and private retailers.

Retail’s DEI Retreat:
Backlash, betrayal, and the cost of silence
This Pride Month, many retailers are retreating from DEI commitments,
facing backlash from consumers and political scrutiny. What began as
pledges to support marginalized communities is now giving way to
silence—leaving brands caught between public expectation and political
pressure.
Retailers face backlash as DEI commitments
waver
Target faced significant consumer backlash after rolling back its DEI
efforts, with foot traffic declining for four consecutive months
according to Placer.ai data.
This impact isn't merely anecdotal. Nearly one in five US adults have
stopped purchasing from brands that changed their DEI approach, with
that number rising to 40% among Gen Z consumers, according to a March
2025 survey from Ad Age and The Harris Poll.
Meanwhile, companies that maintained their DEI commitments saw
reputation scores rise by an average of 1.5 points in the Axios
Harris Poll 100 rankings.
Costco benefits from consistency in values
While Target struggles, Costco has seen increased foot traffic by
maintaining its DEI position and rebuffing pressure to follow other
retailers in rolling back commitments. This consistency creates what
Collins calls "heart loyalty"—the strongest form of consumer attachment
that transcends habit or rational decision-making.
Pride Month marketing becomes more muted
About two in five companies plan to reduce Pride-related engagements
this year, with none expecting to increase them, according to
Gravity Research. About 25% of corporate donors to New York City's Pride
celebrations have canceled or reduced contributions.

$10M Walmart Settlement
Walmart agrees to pay $10M to settle FTC wire-transfer allegations
The settlement closes a case the Federal Trade Commission brought
in 2022, alleging that the retail giant turned a blind eye to scams and
fraud.
 Walmart
will pay $10 million and take remedial action to settle Federal Trade
Commission allegations involving wire transfer scams that took place at
its stores, according to an agreement approved by a federal district
court in Illinois, closing the door on a case the FTC brought in 2022.
Walmart didn’t immediately return a request for comment beyond a
statement issued Friday ahead of the court’s ruling, outlining the
agreement with the FTC and noting that it resolves the complaint. The
retail giant “neither admits nor denies any of the allegations in the
Complaint,” per court documents.
The FTC sued Walmart three years ago, alleging that “Walmart has not
prevented consumers, including its own employees, from sending or
receiving highly suspicious money transfers that it knew or had reason
to believe were related to consumer frauds. In other cases, Walmart
has continued to process fraud-induced money transfers while turning a
blind eye to suspicious characteristics or other indicators that the
transfers were induced by fraud.”

American Tourism Tanking Amid
Controversial Policies
US set to lose $12.5 bn in foreign tourism in 2025: industry
The United States is on track to
lose some $12.5 billion in revenue from foreign tourists this year, a
tourism industry group said Thursday, as the Trump administration has
led a crackdown in immigrants.
The study by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and Oxford
Economics found that the United States was the only country set to
see a drop in spending from foreign tourists this year. The drop to
$181 billion in spending by foreign tourists will put it 22.5 percent
from the peak set a decade ago.
The WTTC, made up of leading travel firms, said this "represents a
direct blow to the US economy overall, impacting communities, jobs, and
businesses from coast to coast". "While other nations are rolling
out the welcome mat, the US government is putting up the 'closed' sign,"
she said in a statement.
With President Donald Trump leading a cracking down on illegal
immigration, making politically charged comments about other nations,
and slapping tariffs on foreign goods, there have numerous efforts
by consumers in other countries to boycott US products and calls to skip
travel to the United States.

More Businesses Harnessing AI
Businesses average 21 AI projects in production
Enterprises plan to expand their portfolios by the end of the
year, according to a Rackspace Technology survey.
Most businesses are expanding their AI portfolios as leaders try to
capture the technology’s benefits, according to a Rackspace
Technology report published this month. The cloud services provider
tapped Coleman Parkes Research to survey more than 1,400 IT
decision-makers across 10 industries.
Businesses currently have an average of 21 AI projects in production,
the survey found. By the end of this year, IT leaders expect the list to
grow.
Two-thirds of leaders surveyed anticipate a positive return on their
AI investments within the next two years and 26% expect returns
within three to five years. Customer experience, ROI and competitive
advantage are the top three success metrics enterprises track.
Enterprises continue to hone their AI strategies as the technology
evolves.
Project prioritization has become a key part of the process as business
decision-makers struggle to identify scalable and executable generative
AI use case ideas out of a field of options. Businesses are grappling
with rising AI project failure rates and, in many cases, are unable to
move projects past pilot phases.
Nearly 70% of IT leaders said challenges around the implementation
and scalability of AI are persistent, according to the Rackspace
report. Technology decision-makers are also finding it difficult to
contend with data privacy regulations.

Alert: Change Your Passwords!
Cybersecurity experts warn users to change passwords now
An urgent warning has been issued following a
massive data breach that affects billions of online accounts.
Reports indicate that 16 billion passwords have been compromised, with
many users likely having at least one of these passwords. This breach
also includes government accounts.
Experts believe it could be one of the biggest data breaches ever.
According to a new report from Forbes, the stolen passwords leave users
on multiple platforms exposed to hackers. The passwords reportedly were
linked to accounts with major companies like Apple, Facebook, and
Google, as well as some government services.
Cybersecurity experts indicate that this breach appears to involve
new data on a scale never before seen. So what can you do to protect
yourself? Experts say it starts with good cyber hygiene
Matt Loria, CEO of Auxiom, suggests having different passwords on
every account and using multi-factor authentication. The two-step
process makes it harder for hackers to access multiple accounts. As our
lives become even more integrated with tech, the stakes couldn’t be
higher.
Loria said companies are doing a lot to protect American users behind
the scenes, but added that regulations in other countries are
stricter.

Cyber Threats Rise Amid Iran Conflict
DHS warns of heightened cyber threat as US enters Iran conflict
Federal officials are warning that pro-Iran hacktivists or
state-linked actors may target poorly secured U.S. networks.
The Department of Homeland Security warned Sunday of a higher risk of
malicious cyber activity from Iran following the direct U.S. military
intervention in Israel’s conflict with Iran.
Hours after the U.S. bombed key Iranian nuclear facilities, DHS released
a bulletin warning that Tehran’s operatives and sympathetic
hacktivists would likely conduct low-level cyberattacks against U.S.
networks in retaliation.
The bulletin also warned of a heightened risk to the personal safety of
U.S. government officials and critics of the Iranian regime, as well as
an increased risk of antisemitic violence.

Are Amazon Returns Slowing?
Easy returns cause trouble for Amazon sellers, but return rates show signs of
slowing
Returns on Amazon are free and easy for shoppers, but they’re risky and
expensive for the small businesses that sell a majority of the goods on the
world’s biggest e-commerce site. Returns have driven some sellers to exit
the popular Fulfillment by Amazon program, while others told CNBC they’d like to
leave the platform altogether.
At the heart of the problem is a big rise in returns fraud, which has led to
customers mistakenly receiving used products when they ordered something new.
In two particularly egregious examples involving baby products described to
CNBC, Amazon sent customers used diapers and a chiller with someone else’s
rotten breastmilk inside.
“I really don’t think that consumers understand how many small businesses are on
Amazon and how their return habits affect small businesses and families like
mine,” said Rachelle Baron, owner of Beau and Belle Littles, which sells
reusable swim diapers on Amazon.
Baron said her business tanked after a return incident with Amazon. The
e-commerce platform shipped soiled swim diapers to customers after the used baby
products had been returned to Amazon, Baron said.
In 2024, nearly 14% of all U.S. retail returns were
fraudulent, up from 5% in 2018, according to a report by the National
Retail Federation. In total, the report found that returns cost retailers $890
billion in 2024.
Amazon started charging sellers in its fulfillment program (FBA) a new fee in
June 2024 for items that exceed certain return rate thresholds. Sellers who
sign up for FBA rely on Amazon for logistics, including shipping, packing and
returns.

The War for Retail Tech Workers
How Walmart Plans to Steal Amazon & Google's Best Tech Talent
Walmart is investing billions in a gleaming new headquarters campus designed
to lure top tech talent away from industry giants like Google, Netflix and
Amazon, as the retail behemoth transforms itself into a technology-driven
company to compete in the digital marketplace.
The retailer's new 350-acre Bentonville, Arkansas campus features Silicon
Valley-style amenities including electric bikes, robot groundskeepers, a
hotel, food hall, amphitheater and massive fitness centers. The facility,
which opened its first building in January, represents a dramatic departure from
Walmart's spartan former headquarters in a converted distribution center with
wood-paneled offices and few windows.

Charlotte, NC: Woman sentenced to nearly 5 years for identity theft, gun
possession: $47,000 in restitutions
 Jessica
Bailey Sowell, a 32-year-old from Charlotte, was sentenced to 57 months in
prison for bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and unlawful possession of a
firearm, as announced by U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson. Sowell’s sentencing
includes five years of supervised release and an order to pay $47,190.25 in
restitution. Her criminal activities spanned from March 2023 to February 2024,
during which she orchestrated an identity theft and bank fraud scheme using
stolen personal information from multiple victims. The announcement was made by
U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson, with support from Jason Byrnes, Special Agent in
Charge of the United States Secret Service, Charlotte Field Office, and Chief
Johnny Jennings of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. According to
court records, Sowell obtained personal identifying information through stolen
mail, the internet, and other sources. She used this information to create
fraudulent identification documents, which she then used at banks, hotels, and
retail stores to acquire money and merchandise. During the investigation, law
enforcement discovered letters, bank cards, and checks belonging to at least 26
identity theft victims in Sowell’s possession. A federal search warrant executed
at a hotel room where Sowell was staying revealed hundreds of pieces of mail,
store-tagged merchandise, journals with credit information, and multiple
driver’s licenses with Sowell’s photograph and victims’ personal information.

 Four
suspects are in custody after deputies busted a “coordinated retail theft” at

left the stolen merchandise at the store before law enforcement was able to
contact them.

Naples, FL: Two teens arrested after armed robbery and assault at Naples mall
Two teenagers are facing charges of assaulting a 15-year-old girl and robbing
her at gunpoint at a Naples shopping mall, according to police. The incident
happened on June 21 at the Coastland Center Mall, according to Naples police,
who say the suspects displayed a firearm and violently threw the victim to the
ground twice before stealing her shoes and damaging her property. Joandry
Silverio Perez, 16, and Ayden Thonday, 15, both from unincorporated Collier
County, were arrested after fleeing to a nearby park where witnesses reported
seeing them with firearms. The confrontation began when the suspects approached
the victim asking about an acquaintance they previously had altercations with,
according to police. They later returned and demanded her necklace, police said.
The department believes that when the victim refused to surrender her jewelry,
one suspect displayed a firearm tucked in his waistband. After a second refusal,
Perez allegedly grabbed the victim by her necklace and threw her to the ground.
Naples officers said the suspects briefly walked away before returning to
assault the victim again. They claim Perez lifted her into the air and threw her
down a second time, after which both suspects kicked and struck her while she
was on the ground.

Denver, CO: Hundreds of juveniles take over Shops at Northfield in Denver, cause
disturbances
Police in Denver confirmed to Denver7 that a social media planned “takeover”
event attracted hundreds of juveniles to the Shops at Northfield Sunday evening,
where several of them caused disturbances. The Denver Police Department said
officers responded to the shopping center, located near Interstate 70 and
Central Park Boulevard, around 6 p.m. Sunday and found approximately 300
juveniles gathered. During the takeover event, the teenagers entered various

Active listening is absolutely critical if you really expect to influence change
or modify behavior. You've got to hear what they're saying before you can plan
or expect to do virtually anything. And hearing what they're saying is not
simply hearing the words it's all about hearing the meaning and the intentions
behind the words. Because words have a tendency to hide the true meanings and
beliefs. As truth is often cloaked in humor so is meaning hidden in words. With
the number one obstacle being one's self hearing is often drown out by how we
want others to view us. So if you can leave your self at the door so to speak
you can then begin to focus on hearing what they're saying.
Just a Thought,
Gus
