About 9 Alert 9 Cost of retail crime

Think there are no victims in Retail Crime? Think again. It affects businesses, shop staff, the economy, and YOU.

 

Organised criminals commit large-scale theft. This cripples businesses, leaves staff in fear, and costs are passed onto you as prices rise. It is #NotAVictimlessCrime.

 

If you know who is involved, report it. 📞Report it to us via 101 or 100% anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit
