The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Retail Crime Beyond Viral Moments
Retail Crime’s Visibility Problem Is
Shaping the Conversation — and the Response
 By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail crime has become increasingly visible. Viral videos of
smash-and-grab incidents, dramatic security footage, and social media
clips now dominate public perception of retail theft. But for many
retailers, the most disruptive forms of loss are far less visible — and
that gap is quietly shaping how the issue is understood.
Highly public incidents tend to be episodic and visually striking.
They generate immediate attention, political commentary, and pressure
for rapid response. Yet retailers often report that their most
persistent losses come from repeat, lower-profile activity: organized
theft carried out incrementally, return fraud, ticket switching, and
professional theft rings operating across multiple locations over time.
The result is a visibility imbalance. What draws the most attention
externally is not always what drives the most operational impact
internally. While smash-and-grab incidents can be costly and
traumatic, they are often outliers rather than the primary source of
shrink. Meanwhile, repeat theft patterns — less dramatic and harder to
capture on video — accumulate loss quietly and consistently.
This visibility gap matters because it influences decision-making.
Public narratives shape investor questions, employee perceptions, and
legislative responses. Internally, retailers may feel pressure to
respond to the most visible threats even when their data points
elsewhere. That tension can complicate resource allocation, policy
decisions, and communication strategies.
Retailers also face a challenge in how theft is documented and shared.
Video-driven narratives reward spectacle, but many forms of organized
theft are designed to avoid attention altogether. Small quantities,
dispersed activity, and policy exploitation are less likely to trend
online, despite their cumulative impact.
As a result, the retail crime conversation often moves faster than the
underlying data. Headlines amplify visible incidents, while
slower-moving loss patterns require sustained analysis and cross-store
intelligence to fully understand.
This does not diminish the seriousness of high-profile incidents or
their impact on safety and morale. But it highlights a growing
disconnect between what the public sees and what retailers manage day to
day.
For retailers, addressing crime increasingly requires separating
visibility from severity — and ensuring that prevention strategies
are guided by patterns and evidence, not just the most shareable
moments.
Australia's Retail Crime Surge
Victoria Leads as Retail Crime Continues to Surge
Retail crime across Australia surged sharply in 2025, with new
data showing Victoria recorded the nation’s biggest increase in threats,
violence and weapon-related incidents – accelerating calls for
greater use of technology to protect workers and customers.
Figures from crime intelligence technology firm Auror show
threatening behaviour across Australia’s $444 billion retail sector rose
26% compared with 2024.
Violent incidents increased 17%, while the use of weapons climbed 10%,
with knives and blades accounting for more than half of all
weapon-related threats.
Victoria stood out as the worst-affected state. Weapon-related
incidents rose 24%, violent events increased 29% and threats spiked 43%
– well above national averages and higher than comparable increases in
New South Wales and Queensland.
The data lands days after a landmark
Administrative Review Tribunal decision backing Bunnings’ use of
in-store facial recognition technology, overturning a ruling
by the privacy commissioner.
The tribunal found the retailer was justified in deploying the
technology to address a “real” and escalating risk to staff and
property, provided stronger transparency and privacy safeguards are
in place.

The Great Debate Over Shopping Cart
Ordinances
Hawaii: Proposed bill looks at targeting abandoned shopping carts
A newly introduced bill moving through the state legislature aimed at
reducing abandoned shopping carts in Hawaii communities is
generating debate between lawmakers and the retail industry.
House Bill 1636 would require businesses to permanently label their
shopping carts and adopt security measures to prevent them from being
taken off store property. The measure would also authorize counties
to impound carts found away from business premises, charge retrieval and
storage fees, and, in some cases, issue fines of up to $500 per cart.
Under the bill, if a labeled cart is discovered off-site, counties would
notify the business owner, who would have three business days to
retrieve it. If not claimed, the cart could be impounded or disposed of.
The measure also encourages stores to use anti-theft tools such as
wheel-lock systems, perimeter-triggered braking devices, physical
barriers or contracted cart-retrieval services.
But retail and grocery industry groups are opposing the bill, arguing it
unfairly penalizes businesses that are already victims of theft.
The group says many stores already invest in retrieval services and
anti-theft technology, but still cannot safely recover every cart.

How Retailers Can Keep Stores Powered
Even When the Grid Fails
Keeping retail stores powered in an uncertain energy future
The U.S. power grid is under growing
strain, with blackouts increasing in both frequency and duration.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has warned that, without meaningful
additions of firm generation capacity, outages could become up to 100
times more common. This is an escalation that would have far-reaching
consequences for U.S. businesses.
For retailers, especially those dependent on refrigeration, fueling
and EV charging, these reliability challenges translate into
financial risk. As a result, energy reliability has become as essential
to daily operations as inventory management or workforce scheduling.
In response, today’s infrastructure pressures are accelerating a new
era of on-site energy innovation in retail as businesses look for
resilient, cost-effective solutions that ensure continuity regardless of
how the broader grid evolves.
Grocers, convenience chains and big-box stores face high stakes when
outages occur. Traditionally, the only backup power options were
diesel and natural gas generators that could bridge these gaps. Today,
there are more backup power options that can support a retailer's
sustainability and resiliency goals.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) combined with on-site solar energy
generation are emerging as a viable solution for providing reliable,
resilient backup power for mission-critical operations.
Real-world pilots are already demonstrating the viability of these
solutions. Costco’s off-grid pilot shows the potential for
large-scale adoption, while Chick-fil-A’s PV-plus-storage projects
in the West illustrate how retailers are beginning to test more
resilient, energy-independent models.

Eight-Armed Safety:
Why EHS Leaders Must Think Like an Octopus, Not a Tin Man
The eight arms framework provides a
structured approach to transforming safety culture and practices for
complex, unpredictable environments.
Traditional safety approaches often resemble the Tin Man—rigid, slow,
and lacking adaptability—failing to address the complexities of
modern work environments.
The 'octopus' model promotes decentralization, local decision-making,
and continuous learning, enabling safety systems to respond swiftly to
unpredictable conditions.
Key principles for an adaptive safety strategy include clear purpose,
frontline ownership, fostering curiosity, encouraging experimentation,
recognizing subcultures, developing feedback systems, spreading best
practices, and strong leadership.
Organizations should focus on involving workers in safety
development, reducing bureaucracy, and viewing near misses as learning
opportunities rather than just compliance issues.
Transitioning to an octopus-like safety approach requires ongoing
reflection on current practices, identifying rigid areas, and
simplifying processes to enhance agility and resilience.

Employers Delivering Work-Life Balance
Employees Concerned About Well-being
However, employers are delivering
work-life balance programs, says new survey from Employee Benefit
Research Institute.
Worries about overall well-being are on the rise, according to findings
from the Sixth Annual Workplace Wellness Survey released by the Employee
Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and Greenwald Research.
A positive finding from the report is that a majority of workers are
satisfied with their jobs and value work-life balance. However, many
feel disengaged and uncertain about the economy, health care
affordability and long-term security.
“Even as workers tell us their personal financial stress has eased
compared with a few years ago, inflation and health care costs remain
persistent pressure points—and that strain is showing up in rising
concerns about overall well-being," said Jake Spiegel, senior research
associate, EBRI, in a statement.

Reduce Human Involvement With
Intelligent Video Monitoring
Every second counts when a security threat emerges—yet
traditional surveillance still relies heavily on on-site guards and constant
human oversight. This dependence not only drives up operational costs but also
puts staff in harm’s way during high-risk incidents, especially when confronting
potentially violent offenders. As threats evolve, organizations are urgently
seeking ways to strengthen security without requiring in-person guarded
protection.
This article examines modern strategies for remote monitoring that reduce the
need for continuous human involvement. It explores how overreliance on manual
processes can slow efficiency, and how intelligent, cloud-powered video
solutions can relieve security teams of routine tasks—freeing them to focus on
higher-value responsibilities that improve overall safety and operations.
Limitations of Manual Surveillance in Modern Security
Organizations have traditionally relied on security guards and monitoring teams
to surveil facilities, respond to incidents, and keep people and assets safe.
While human oversight remains an important component of surveillance, it brings
notable complexities that can affect both productivity and safety.
Cost and Resource Inefficiency
Employing a security staff complete with on-site guards requires significant
resources. Overnight or weekend shifts often result in substantial salary
expenses and overtime payments. In many cases, multiple staff are needed to
ensure complete coverage and reduce the possibility of blind spots, further
driving up operational costs. As many businesses struggle to incorporate these
costs into their budgets, finding solutions that are more cost-effective while
still providing complete security coverage becomes vital.
Difficult Coverage and Remote Sites
No matter how skilled or dedicated security staff may be, on-site personnel can
only monitor a limited area at a time, inevitably leaving blind spots and
vulnerabilities. This situation becomes further complicated for remote, low
traffic sites that need continuous coverage but cannot justify round-the-clock
physical guarding. These realities highlight the need for alternative security
approaches that can ensure round-the-clock vigilance.
Susceptibility to Threats
On-site security roles inherently involve personal risk, especially when dealing
with potentially aggressive or violent individuals. In high-tension situations,
security personnel can quickly become the focus of confrontation. Incidents can
escalate suddenly, leaving little time to react and increasing the potential for
injury. Beyond the immediate danger, these encounters can have lasting effects
on a guard’s mental well-being. The reality is that even the most experienced
and well-trained security professionals operate in unpredictable environments
where safety cannot be guaranteed. These risks highlight the importance of
modern monitoring solutions that can manage threats effectively.

LP & Cybersecurity: No Longer Parallel
Tracks
The Convergence of Retail Loss
Prevention and Cybersecurity
By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail loss prevention and cybersecurity have traditionally been treated
as separate disciplines — one focused on physical theft and in-store
risk, the other on data breaches and digital crime. But as retail
operations become increasingly connected, those two worlds are rapidly
converging.
At the core of this shift is technology. Modern loss prevention
strategies now rely heavily on digital systems, including
cloud-based video platforms, point-of-sale (POS) integrations, facial
recognition tools, license-plate recognition, electronic article
surveillance (EAS) analytics, and centralized incident management
software. Each of these tools generates, stores, or transmits data —
making LP systems both a security asset and a potential cyber risk.
Retailers are also facing more sophisticated criminal activity that
blends physical and digital tactics. Organized retail crime (ORC)
groups increasingly use cyber tools to scout locations, exploit
self-checkout vulnerabilities, manipulate return systems, or access
employee credentials through phishing and social engineering. In some
cases, cyber intrusions are used to disable alarms, tamper with cameras,
or identify store layouts and security blind spots ahead of physical
theft attempts.
At the same time, the expansion of LP technology has increased the
attack surface retailers must protect. Internet-connected cameras,
IoT sensors, access-control systems, and third-party LP vendors can
introduce vulnerabilities if not properly secured. A compromised
surveillance system or LP database can expose sensitive operational
data, employee information, or customer records — turning a loss
prevention investment into a cybersecurity liability.
This convergence is pushing retailers to rethink how LP and
cybersecurity teams collaborate. Increasingly, retailers are
aligning physical security, fraud prevention, IT, and information
security under shared risk frameworks. Cybersecurity teams are being
asked to evaluate LP vendors and devices, while LP leaders are becoming
more involved in data governance, privacy compliance, and system access
controls.
Regulatory pressure is also accelerating this alignment. Privacy
laws, data-protection requirements, and growing scrutiny around
biometric data use mean that LP technologies must now meet both security
and compliance standards — not just effectiveness benchmarks.
As retail environments continue to digitize, loss prevention and
cybersecurity are no longer parallel tracks. For many retailers,
they are becoming two sides of the same risk-management strategy —
requiring coordinated oversight, shared intelligence, and integrated
security planning.
Cybersecurity is 'Core Business
Function'
Visa Says Cybersecurity Decides Who Wins Digital Commerce
The word “cybersecurity” can imply a defensive, even reactive
discipline.
But effective cybersecurity has never truly been either of those
things, and as fraud scales faster, attack surfaces sprawl across
ecosystems and consumer trust hardens into a competitive moat, treating
cybersecurity as merely a protection is in many ways inviting attack for
the businesses that do so.
“It is a core business function. I find it hard to think of any
business today that isn’t at its core a technology business,” Jeremiah
Dewey, head of Cyber Solutions at Visa, said during a conversation for
the “Visa Protect Series” hosted by PYMNTS.
When security is relegated to an ancillary role, he argued, companies
miss its most important contribution: enabling the business to grow
safely and confidently in a digital-first world. In today’s digital
economy, cybersecurity is increasingly about enabling trust and turning
resilience into competitive advantage.
The numbers on the side of the attackers alone demand attention.
Ransomware attacks surged 126% in 2025, according to Spin.ai, with
average breach costs approaching $5 million per incident. Nearly 70% of
breaches now cause material business disruption. And yet, many
organizations continue to treat cybersecurity as a subsidiary of IT
rather than a core business function.

Security By Default
Microsoft tightens Windows security with app transparency and user
consent
Microsoft is strengthening default protections in Windows through two
security initiatives, Windows Baseline Security Mode and User
Transparency and Consent.
User Transparency and Consent introduces a structured approach to how
Windows presents security decisions to users. The operating system
will prompt users when applications request access to sensitive
resources such as files, cameras, or microphones, and when installers
attempt to add additional software.
Permission decisions are recorded so they can be reviewed and changed
later. Applications and AI agents are also expected to meet higher
transparency standards.
Windows Baseline Security Mode moves Windows toward operating with
runtime integrity safeguards enabled by default. Under this
approach, the operating system allows only properly signed applications,
services, and drivers to run.
The safeguards are intended to protect system integrity by limiting
unauthorized changes during operation. Users and IT administrators
retain the ability to approve exceptions for specific applications when
operational requirements call for it.

The Scourge of Fake Online Reviews
FTC warns businesses about fake reviews
Whether you’re hiring a contractor, looking for an apartment, or
shopping online, chances are you check out online reviews first. Many
people use reviews to see the honest opinions of other buyers — and
companies rely on reviews to stand out from the crowd. But some
companies write, post, or pay for fake reviews — and that hurts people
and honest companies.
To protect consumers, the FTC monitors the marketplace and brings cases
against companies using deceptive and unfair business practices. The
agency recently sent warning letters to companies urging them to take a
look at their reviews and remove any deceptive or misleading statements.
The FTC’s letters remind companies that creating, buying, or posting
fake reviews, or giving incentives for only positive reviews, may
trigger enforcement actions and fines.
Here are some steps to take when you consider reviews:
-
Look at a variety of
sources and pay attention to whether a website or its reviews
are independent or sponsored.
-
Check how recent the
reviews are and watch for a burst of reviews over a short period
of time. That can sometimes mean the reviews are fake.
-
Report fake reviews
to the website or platform where they appear — like Google,
Amazon, or Walmart, among others. Here’s how to report suspicious
online reviews across some popular websites.
Be sure to tell the FTC about the fake reviews you spot at
ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Follow the reporting path for whatever
product or service you were looking at, and choose “Other” if you don’t
see a path. Just be sure to include “fake review” in the comments field.

Washoe County, NV: From Taco shop to prison time, an ORC investigation
scheme unfolds
What looked like an ordinary taco shop turned into the center of a
retail theft case that ended with a prison sentence after a months-long
undercover operation. A man has been sentenced to more than four years
in prison after pleading guilty to Attempted Participation in Organized
Retail Theft. 53-year-old Jose Martinez-Aguilar was arrested after
detectives with the Regional Crime Suppression Unit and the Repeat
Offender Program learned that Roberto’s at 4455 S. Virginia was
operating as a fencing operation for stolen items. Investigators said
Martinez-Aguilar owned the shop and was running the operation.
Detectives learned through their investigation that thieves were
stealing merchandise from stores along the Virginia Street corridor and
selling the items to Martinez-Aguilar and his employees.
Loss-prevention officers at local retailers also developed information
that supported the findings. Home Depot, JCPenney, and TJX Companies
provided merchandise and surveillance resources for an operation led by
the Regional Crime Suppression Unit. After search warrants were
served at the business and Martinez-Aguilar's house, police said they
found thousands of dollars in apparent stolen retail merchandise. Loss
prevention personnel from 17 retailers identified the items as belonging
to their stores. Investigators also said they found a cutting tool next
to theft prevention devices that were allegedly removed from
merchandise.

Peachtree City, GA: Peachtree City pursuit ends with arrest after store cameras
ID armed suspect
An armed robbery suspect is behind bars after ultra-high-resolution security
cameras at a new convenience store helped authorities track his getaway car in
real time Sunday afternoon. Kenny Richards, 23, was arrested following a
high-speed chase that ended in a Peachtree City industrial complex. Richards,
who is homeless, is currently being held at the Fayette County Jail without
bond. The incident began at the new Amoco station on State Road 85 near
Whitewater Middle School. Security footage shows a gunman entering the store,
pointing a weapon, and demanding cash. Though the entire robbery lasted less
than 40 seconds, the store's brand-new surveillance system captured the
suspect’s vehicle in high definition. The clarity of the recording allowed a
store clerk to identify the license plate and report it to the authorities.
Fayette County officials then used license plate readers installed throughout
the area to monitor the vehicle’s path.
