In a 2021 report<\/a> by the National Retail Federation, about 69% of national retailers saw a significant increase in organized retail theft from the previous year. Retailers also see more sophisticated retail theft techniques and an increase in violent activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized retail theft is the theft of merchandise from a retail establishment in a coordinated manner intended to resell or return items to the store to make money. This type of theft can be done by an individual or a group and can be planned or spontaneous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Proposed Bill From Minnesota Lawmakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lawmakers are proposing a bill that will address organized retail theft. Currently, organized retail theft is a misdemeanor in Minnesota. The proposed bill would make it a felony to participate in organized retail theft knowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would increase the penalties to up to five years in prison, a $25,000 fine for a first offense, and up to ten years in prison and a $50,000 fine for a second offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a business owner, you can take steps to protect your business from organized retail theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How You Can Protect Your Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the increase in organized retail theft activity, retailers are investing in additional security resources to help protect their business. About 50% of retailers say they have invested in technology and equipment, and 43% have reported adding additional security staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can minimize your store\u2019s risk of organized retail theft with added security measures. Studies have found that there is a lower risk of organized retail theft when there are higher security measures in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect your business by installing security cameras or alarm systems and educating your employees about theft and how to spot suspicious behaviors<\/a>. You can also add tags to clothing and merchandise or restrict your return policies. Work with your local law enforcement or hire a contract security company, like Talon Premier Security<\/a>, to augment your current security plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
