Has shoplifting become a global problem?
Retailers around the world are losing billions of dollars to in-store theft - and the nature of retail theft appears to have changed. What's being done about it?
Shoplifting has long been a concern for small and large retailers worldwide, but many believe the issue has recently increased - including incidents of retail violence.
Sam Gruet speaks to some of these retailers in New Zealand, India, Pakistan and the UK, to explore the possible reasons behind the rise in retail crime and what measures they鈥檙e introducing to respond to the escalating issue. These include covert security, body cameras and stab-proof vests.
He also asks if advances in technology can act as a powerful deterrent to potential shoplifters, and if it could be the solution to minimise retail loss.
