Retail Crime: A Community Challenge
Retail theft is far from victimless. Across the UK, more than 500 retail and security staff face assault or abuse daily while performing their duties. Such crimes inflate the cost of goods, threaten the survival of businesses, and risk closures, job losses, and a lack of essential local services.
Catch a Thief UK offers support to retail businesses by providing crime prevention and detection solutions, working closely with communities to tackle crimes like theft more effectively.
