Auror recognized by US retail crime research body as Most Engaged
Solution Partner
 Global
retail crime intelligence software company
Auror - which allows
retailers and police in their communities to identify high-harm repeat
offenders - has been recognized by the
Loss Prevention
Research Council (LPRC) for its work alongside retailers and law
enforcement to tackle organized retail crime across the United
States through evidence-based strategies.
Auror was selected as the Most Engaged Solution Partner in recognition
of its ongoing engagement in the ORC Working Group, which was
presented last week at the LPRC’s annual IMPACT Conference in Florida.
The event brought together the retail and law enforcement community to
discuss trends in retail crime and technology solutions, like Auror’s
retail crime intelligence platform, to take on high levels of
prolific and violent retail crime.
 Auror
is one of 165 solution partners that work closely with LPRC’s retail
members such as CVS, Ulta Beauty, Target, Kroger, Lululemon, IKEA,
as well as law enforcement agencies, to lead research and find
innovative solutions to deal with the issue of organized crime impacting
retail stores across the US.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Flash Mob Retail Theft:
How Coordination Tactics Are Evolving In-Store Response
 By
the D&D Daily Staff
Retailers are continuing to adapt to a more coordinated form of theft
often referred to as “flash mob” incidents—where groups of
individuals enter a store simultaneously, overwhelm staff, and quickly
exit with merchandise. While these events are not new, loss
prevention teams report that the tactics behind them are becoming more
structured and difficult to anticipate.
In many cases, groups are leveraging private messaging apps and
social platforms to coordinate timing, store selection, and roles within
the incident. Participants may be assigned specific tasks, such as
distracting associates, monitoring entrances, or targeting high-value
items. This level of coordination can compress incidents into a matter
of minutes, limiting opportunities for intervention.
What makes these incidents particularly challenging is their
variability. Some groups operate opportunistically, assembling
quickly based on real-time communication, while others appear to follow
more deliberate planning patterns across multiple locations.
Retailers have noted instances where the same group—or overlapping
participants—target stores within a defined geographic radius over a
short period.
In response, loss prevention teams are adjusting both operational and
technological strategies. Real-time communication between stores,
including internal alert systems and regional coordination, has become
increasingly important. Some retailers are also refining store layouts
and product placement to reduce accessibility to frequently targeted
items during high-risk periods.
Training is another area of focus. Store associates are being
coached on situational awareness, de-escalation, and safety-first
protocols when faced with large-group incidents. Given the speed and
scale of these events, many retailers emphasize that employee safety
remains the top priority over recovery of merchandise.
As these coordinated theft tactics continue to evolve, retailers are
balancing prevention efforts with the realities of in-store operations.
The challenge moving forward will be maintaining a safe shopping
environment while adapting to increasingly organized and fast-moving
threats.
Cell Phone Use Impacting Crime Rates?
Are video games and phones helping to reduce crime?
Criminal activity
plunges as pandemic effects fade and youth retreat indoors to game
Crime plummeted in the U.S. in 2025 after a steady but less-precipitous
decline in 2024. Not only is the scary rise in violence that began early
in the COVID-19 pandemic now receding in the rearview mirror, but
population-adjusted rates of some crimes — murder and burglary,
notably — are approaching levels not seen in more than half a century,
if ever.
Yes, the historical view on murder is less impressive when you consider
the vast improvement in medical care over the decades. Burglars and
perpetrators of other traditional property crimes are to some extent
just being supplanted by online crooks. And it’s hard to get too
excited about recent declines in shoplifting given that the deodorant is
now behind lock and key at the local Walgreens. But overall, the crime
drop is pretty great. If only we knew why it was happening.
I exaggerate a little. There seems to be a reasonably clear line from
the social disruptions caused by the pandemic and the outrage and
protests in response to George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police
officer in May 2020 to the subsequent rise in violent crime and the
fading effects of those events probably explain much of the drop. They
don’t really explain the size of last year’s decline, though.
What does? U.S. President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign was the
biggest development in U.S. law enforcement in 2025 and it’s plausible
that it is reducing reported crime although not necessarily for the
reasons you might think. An even more important development, though, may
be that the young men disproportionately responsible for crime are now
too preoccupied with their phones and other electronic devices to
bother.
"More kids seem to be spending more time at home in their basements
scrolling on their phones rather than out carousing with friends,”
Gelb said. "We know that can have some terrible negative effects on
mental health ... but the flip side may be that, particularly because
youthful offending is often done in groups, if you’re home alone on your
phone you’re less likely to go out and get into bad trouble with your
friends.”

New ORC Bill in Colorado
Colorado Small Businesses Applaud Effort to Curb Organized Retail Theft
HB 1138 addresses organized retail
theft in Colorado
DENVER – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the
state’s leading small business advocacy organization, announced its
strong support for HB 1138, a bill that would address organized
retail theft in Colorado. The bill establishes a task force,
advisory board, and grant program to help law enforcement investigate
and prosecute organized retail theft.
In a statement, NFIB State Director Michael Smith applauded the effort.
“Nearly every small business owner has experienced retail theft. Not
only does theft jeopardize the safety of small business owners, their
employees, and their customers, but it also threatens our state’s
economy. This bill takes several important steps to improve
coordination among law enforcement, so they are better equipped to
investigate and prosecute these crimes.”

What's Fueling the Retail Shrink
Decline?
Retailers report shrink levels down from pandemic highs
Is the improvement from addressing
theft, operational weaknesses or accounting gaps? It’s probably a
combination, but most aren’t saying.
Shrink — a mismatch between inventory a retailer has on hand and what
records say it should have — continues to confound the industry. But
several companies in recent weeks reported that shrink is less of a
problem, dropping, in at least two cases, to a low not seen since the
pandemic.
“It’s becoming a nonevent,” loss prevention consultant Brand Elverston,
who works with major retailers and brands, said by phone. “I don’t feel
comfortable saying it’s prepandemic levels. What I’m saying is it’s
down significantly from its apex during COVID and is more manageable.”
In recent weeks, executives at Kroger, Target,
Dollar General and TJX told investors that lower shrink was boosting
margins and profits. At Target and TJX the decline has
been especially dramatic, down to pre-pandemic levels, according to
the chief financial officers at both companies.
This is a sharp turnabout from a couple of years ago, when retail
executives at these retailers and others lamented high levels of
inventory loss, often to theft, contradicting surveys from loss
prevention executives that found shrink levels had been more or less
flat for years.
Using various benchmarks and its own data, loss prevention platform
Appriss Retail calculates that the industry lost $90 billion to shrink
last year; the firm is working on a comprehensive survey of the
problem. These days many analysts, including some loss prevention
experts, believe the causes of shrink are multilayered rather than
strictly crime-related.
The lack of clarity around shrink now extends to why or how things
have improved because retailers aren’t providing any details. Most
of the retailers contacted for this story didn’t immediately respond to
requests for more information about how they mitigated their risk; TJX
declined to comment. On earnings calls, most alluded to operational
improvements. Target CFO Jim Lee is the only executive so far to call
out “industry and community efforts to combat retail theft across the
country.”
David Johnston, NRF vice president of asset
protection and retail operations, credited a “balanced
approach” of operational adjustments plus antitheft measures.

Another Retail Crisis
The Iran Conflict Is A Compounding Cost Crisis For Retail
Operation Epic Fury, the coordinated strikes carried out on Iran by the
U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28, fractured an already fragile and volatile
global supply chain. One that has been confronted with re-routing to
avoid multiple regional conflicts, tariff-driven cost headwinds already
working through retail P&Ls, and ongoing reshoring efforts that haven’t
yet matured into reliable alternatives.
Since the start of the conflict, at least 21 commercial vessels have
been hit with projectiles, drones, or sea mines with several more
stranded. In response, carriers have implemented Emergency Conflict
Surcharges and Emergency Freight Increases. Some have even gone as far
as releasing end of voyage declarations, leaving goods completely
stranded. Additionally, 18% of air cargo through gulf airspace has
either been redirected or grounded.
Garment shipments for Zara owner Inditex and other major clothing
retailers have been stranded at airports in Bangladesh and India as
the conflict forced Gulf airlines to cancel flights, with freight
charges for some manufacturers doubling due to reduced air capacity.
This disruption illustrates how fast a supply chain built on
high-frequency replenishment can unravel when a single regional corridor
closes.
Major Middle Eastern transit hubs such as Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi
have faced suspensions or had operations restricted. Demand for
alternative warehouse hubs has since surged.
About 30% of global container trade moves through the Suez Canal, of
which 90% has been rerouted through the Cape of Good Hope. This move
adds 10-14 days to transit time, which means less turnover of ships
effectively reducing capacity by 10-15%.

The Shift from Enforcement to Resource
OSHA's Strategic Shift Emphasizes Resources, Technology and Better
Communication
OSHA's new programs focus on helping companies improve safety through
continuous learning and resource sharing. The agency aims to balance
enforcement with proactive safety support, especially for small and
medium-sized businesses.
David Keeling highlighted plans to incorporate AI and predictive
analytics to better prevent workplace injuries and fatalities. OSHA
intends to train inspectors to provide practical guidance and share best
practices during visits.
The leadership emphasizes a comprehensive approach, using all
available tools and strategies to lead workplace safety improvements.
Last week, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
launched two new workplace safety programs: the
Safety Champions Program, aimed at
helping companies establish and continuously improve their safety and
health programs; and OSHA CARES, a
customer service-focused initiative aimed at making it easier for
companies to gain access to OSHA’s resources.
“OSHA is an enforcement agency and we’re going to remain an
enforcement agency,” Keeling said. “But what the OSHA CARES program
can do for us is reinforce our position as a resource, especially for
small and medium-sized businesses. The intent is to improve our
communication and coordination with all agencies and employees and
workers.”

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.

Balancing Risk & Opportunity with
Advanced Tech
ISACs confront AI’s promise and peril for threat intelligence-sharing
Any use of AI for ISAC work must
preserve members’ trust, representatives of three critical
infrastructure sectors said.
The AI era is forcing critical infrastructure sectors to rethink how
they share information — balancing risk and opportunity with advanced
technology — in situations where critical services are on the line.
“When we talk about [how] people’s money or lives are at stake, that’s
where things get very, very real very quickly,” Pam Lindemoen, the chief
security officer and vice president of strategy at the
Retail & Hospitality Information Sharing and
Analysis Center (RH-ISAC), said during a panel at the RSAC
2026 Conference here on Monday.
Speaking alongside representatives from two other ISACs, Lindemoen said
the information-sharing groups were scrambling to understand how AI
could help them better analyze and distribute threat intelligence, a
vital service at a time when nation-state and cybercriminal hackers are
becoming more sophisticated and aggressive.
“How do we balance new technology, getting things faster, without
diluting the message and without it becoming noise?” Lindemoen
asked.
If automated threat information-sharing led to lower-quality output,
she warned, critical infrastructure organizations would lose trust in
their ISACs.
“If we lose that center of trust,” she said, “that’s where I think
things are going to go really poorly for us and for our peers in the
industry as well.”

Cybercriminals Becoming Faster
Cybercrime groups speed up initial access handoff through planning,
coordination
A report by Google Threat
Intelligence Group also shows voice-based phishing has surged amid a
rise in social engineering tactics.
Cybercriminals are becoming much faster at handing off initial access in
targeted environments, with the window shrinking to just 22 seconds
in 2025, according to a report Monday by Google Threat Intelligence
Group and its incident response unit, Mandiant. That compares to about
eight hours in 2022.
Exploits remained the leading initial access vector, with 32% of
all methods, according to the report. However, voice-based phishing has
surged as an initial access vector, rising to the second-leading means
of entry, at 11%. Voice-based phishing was the top method for all cloud
intrusions, at 23%.
Meanwhile, the global median dwell time rose to 14 days, driven
largely by cyber espionage campaigns as well as North Korean IT worker
scams, which saw median dwell times of 122 days.
The report found that threat groups are becoming much more deliberate
and integrated in how they work with each other. Analysis showed
significant coordination and planning for actions during the window
between initial access and a secondary actor taking advantage of that
access.
During ransomware and extortion incidents, threat groups are
increasingly specializing in specific tasks during the attack life cycle,
according to Mandiant researchers.

Attacks Against Consumer-Grade Routers
FCC bans import of consumer-grade routers amid national security
concerns
The decision follows years of
escalating attacks against the U.S. from state-linked threat groups
targeting routers and edge devices.
The Federal Communications Commission on Monday said it will no
longer approve imported routers for consumer use without government
review.
An interagency body convened by the White House determined that
consumer-grade routers made outside the U.S. present an unacceptable
risk to national security, according to FCC officials.
The Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy says the
U.S. should not be dependent on an outside power for core components
considered vital to the nation’s economy or defense.

New Front Door to E-Commerce?
How Shopify's ChatGPT Integration Is Changing E-Commerce Strategy
In September 2025, Shopify and OpenAI formally unveiled a partnership
allowing shoppers to buy products directly within ChatGPT without
redirects, extra browsing or friction.
Panic and backlash promptly ensued, but the concerns missed the mark.
What we're seeing is retail entering its next chapter with a powerful
new channel.
This integration marks a big shift in e-commerce. GenAI platforms
are becoming a new front door to commerce, joining search, social and
storefronts as primary paths to purchase. The question isn't whether
this channel will matter. It's how fast brands and consumers will adapt.
This integration marks a big shift in e-commerce. GenAI platforms are
becoming a new front door to commerce, joining search, social and
storefronts as primary paths to purchase. The question isn't whether
this channel will matter. It's how fast brands and consumers will adapt.
The Shopify-ChatGPT integration makes one thing clear: Commerce is
escaping the boundaries of traditional channels and showing up wherever
conversations and decisions happen. Allowing shoppers to move from
inquiry to purchase within a single conversational thread has signaled a
shift toward more fluid, ambient buying experiences. This is a
recognition that shoppers increasingly expect commerce to meet them
wherever they already are.
For brands, this isn't about guessing whether chat-based shopping will
win. It's about building the infrastructure now so their products and
stories show up powerfully, accurately and on-brand
everywhere—websites, marketplaces and AI platforms alike.
As a new era of distributed, conversational commerce is unlocked,
the brands that thrive will design for flexibility from day one and
treat every new interface not as a threat but as a powerful new way to
engage, inspire and convert customers wherever they are.

FedEx vs. Amazon
FedEx to offer same-day delivery as it battles with Amazon and other
retailers
FedEx said Tuesday that it will offer same-day delivery in
partnership with logistics company OneRail, with the announcement
following a recent move by Amazon to offer expedited deliveries across
the U.S.
The new shipping option allows FedEx customers to choose two-hour or
end-of-day delivery when they are completing the checkout process
for a package. The company said it will then match the order with other
delivery providers in its national network, while also allowing
customers to track packages.
Customers can opt in for same-day delivery for different packages,
including large, oversized or specialized deliveries, FedEx said in a
news release.
FedEx is moving to speed its deliveries as retail giants Amazon and
Walmart also roll out same-day delivery. Amazon last week introduced
one-hour and three-hour delivery options, with the latter available in
thousands of cities across the U.S.
Walmart has also expanded its delivery services over the years to
include faster shipping services throughout the day, including early
morning hours and late evening.

Undercover Philadelphia police officers arrested more than a dozen people
Thursday at a Center City CVS as part of a broader effort to crack down on
retail theft, police said. Officers conducted the sting at the CVS at 11th and
Market streets, where Action News observed arrest after arrest outside the
store. Those taken into custody were accused of shoplifting, according to
police. The operation is part of a larger retail theft initiative that the

the effort has intensified in recent days, with nearly 40 arrests made this week
alone at CVS locations across the city. Philadelphia Police Inspector Ray Evers
said undercover officers arrested 26 people this week at nine CVS locations
citywide, not including the arrests made Wednesday at the Center City store.
Police said 13 people were arrested at that single location. According to Evers,
those arrested reflect a wide range of backgrounds, from organized retail theft
gangs to everyday residents.

Chicago, IL: 2 charged with felonies for stealing over $9,000 in merchandise
from Lakeview Lululemon
The Cook County Sheriff's Office said two men have been charged with felonies
for stealing more than $9,000 from a Lululemon store in Lakeview.. Police said
Sunday at about 5:15 p.m., officers got a call from a Lululemon employee saying
two men got out of a Honda minivan, entered their store in the 3500 block of
North Southport Ave., filled up bags with merchandise and then left without
paying. The arriving officers found 25-year-old Christopher Slawek of Chicago
and 51-year-old Michael Brown of Matteson holding Lululemon bags, and they ran
when approached. Officers arrested Slawek a short distance away in the 3500
block of North Greenview Ave., and Brown in the 1400 block of West Addison St.,
with their bags. Inside police said they found 118 Lululemon items worth more
than $9,000. Police also tracked down the minivan a short distance away and
found an additional $9,000 worth of merchandise from other stores inside. Brown
and Slawek are each charged with felony retail theft. Slawek face additional
charges from outstanding warrants for retail theft in Cook, DuPage and Will
counties, police said.

Trumbull County, OH: Update: Judge denies Warren C-Store murder suspect’s
request to represent himself
A Trumbull County judge has denied the request of a man accused of a murder at a
Warren convenience store to fire his attorney and represent himself in his case.
During a pretrial hearing on Wednesday, March 25, Judge Sean O’Brien denied
24-year-old Savion Woodall’s request to represent himself. Court records do not
show the official judgment entry detailing why the motion was denied yet, but an
employee in Judge O’Brien’s court tells 21 News that the judge gave Woodall two
options: either maintain his current attorney or hire a new one. Woodall chose
to maintain his current attorney. Woodall is charged with murder and attempted
murder, both with firearm specifications, as well as having weapons under
disability, illegal possession of a firearm in liquor permit premises, tampering
with evidence, carrying concealed weapons and improper handling of firearms in a
motor vehicle. The charges stem from the shooting death of David Owens III.
Owens was shot to death in the parking lot of Convenient Food Mart on Elm Road
in August of 2025. A second man was also wounded in the shooting.
