The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Massive Victory for the Retail
Industry
House Passes Combating Organized
Retail Crime Act
Organized retail crime bill passes House in bipartisan vote, heads to
Senate
Industry groups have lobbied
Congress to pass this legislation for years.
 An
anticrime bill targeting organized retail theft easily passed the
U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday in a bipartisan vote. The
legislation now goes to the Senate.
The vote is a milestone for the National Retail Federation and Retail
Industry Leaders Association, which have pushed for this legislation
for years.
The bill targets “organized crime involving the illegal acquisition
of retail goods and cargo for the purpose of selling those illegally
obtained goods through physical and online retail marketplaces” and
aims to address “the cross-jurisdictional, interstate, and international
aspects of these crimes,” according to its text.
To combat theft and violence in stores and at cargo points, the bill
would create an “Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination
Center” under the Department of Homeland Security for federal,
state, local, territorial and tribal efforts. A director for the office
would be appointed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In separate statements Tuesday, both the NRF and RILA urged passage
of the bill in the Senate.
“NRF has been leading the fight on behalf of retailers for passage of
this legislation through direct engagement with federal, state and
municipal law enforcement, coordinating fly-ins for lobbying by home
state retail asset protection professionals, providing expert testimony
and conducting fact-based research,” NRF chief lobbyist David French
said.

Retail Crime Is Becoming More Violent
& Sophisticated
Percentage of on-premises robberies
against jewelers and jewelry stores that involved guns,
mace, or vehicles being driven into stores increased to 27 percent in
2025
JSA's 2025 Crime Report Shows 'Concerning' Rise in Violence
While the overall number of crimes
was down, there were more incidences in which robbers pulled out guns,
mace, or rammed cars into stores.
The number of crimes perpetrated against jewelers and jewelry stores
declined last year but were more violent and resulted in nearly $145
million in losses, the annual crime report from the Jewelers'
Security Alliance shows.
Released late last month, the report shows that 1,233 crimes were
reported to JSA in 2025, down 13 percent from 1,420 in 2024.
Dollar losses, which are adjusted for inflation but not the price of
gold, increased less than 2 percent to $144.7 million, compared with
$142.5 million in 2024.
For the second year in a row, on-premises burglaries accounted for
more dollar losses than any other crime category, JSA said, even
though the number of burglaries declined year-over-year. Jewelry
business reported 262 burglaries to JSA in 2025 versus 305 in 2024, a 14
percent drop.
In an interview with National Jeweler, JSA Executive Vice President
Scott Guginsky attributed this dynamic—rising dollars losses despite
fewer burglaries—to the continuing trend of professional crews
pulling off sophisticated jobs that result in "significant" losses, as
well as the higher price of gold.
The number of on-premises robberies, meanwhile, was essentially flat
year-over-year. A robbery is defined as the taking of property by
use of force or fear. There were 218 on-premises robberies reported to
JSA in 2025, compared with 219 in 2024.
However, the percentage of on-premises robberies that involved guns,
mace, or vehicles being driven into stores increased to 27 percent in
2025 from 17 percent the year before, a pattern Guginsky described
as "very, very concerning."

Retail Crime Evolution
Beyond shoplifting: How consumers and retailers pay for retail crimes
From porch pirates to organized
cargo theft, retail crime is evolving.
When most people think of retail theft, they picture someone slipping an
item off a rack, sneaking lipstick into a backpack, or a stranger
stealing a package from a front porch. But experts say the problem
has grown into something far more complex.
"Retailers and even supply chain organizations are talking about large
increases in cargo and supply chain theft," said
David Johnston, vice president of asset protection and retail
operations for the National Retail Federation.
Johnston said many offenders use military-like tactics or
cybercriminal schemes to pose as legitimate brokers and steal cargo
— without ever setting foot inside a store. This criminal activity is
known as Organized Retail Crime, or ORC. According to the NRF, ORC
operations have moved beyond physical store theft to more sophisticated
forms.
"It impacts the bottom line, and that bottom line is money taken away
for additional jobs, to bring more product into the store, to keep
prices low," Johnston said. "What we're seeing is a larger increase
in dollar loss, which will eventually impact us as consumers."
Porch piracy, not included in the NRF's data, is another aspect
of rampant retail theft. It's also a category consumers experience
firsthand.
"That's just money out of their pockets," said Greg Zakowicz, an
e-commerce and retail advisor to Omnisend. "They're having to do
chargebacks. They're issuing new products to people. That all comes
with a cost."
The effects of repeat theft are visible to anyone who walks into a
store. "We see it by walking into the retail store and seeing
merchandise either missing or merchandise that is locked up,"
Johnston said.

$1M in Theft Losses Leads to Store
Chicago Store Closure
Walgreens to close Chicago store after losing over $1M due to rampant
theft, falling sales
Executives said the store's theft
rate was 16%, four times the company average, with lock boxes regularly
destroyed
Walgreens announced plans to close a location on Chicago's South Side
next month as the store's profitability suffered due to elevated
levels of theft as well as a decline in prescription sales.
The pharmacy chain revealed the reasons behind its decision to close the
Walgreens at 86th in Cottage Grove in the Chatham neighborhood of
Chicago at a town hall in the community on Saturday.
"I'm here today because we're closing the store at 86th and Cottage
Grove. But I just want to make sure everyone understands closing stores
[is] not our goal. This is the last resort," Walgreens regional
Vice President Reginald Johnson said, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
Walgreens executives revealed at the town hall that the location lost
over $1 million last year amid softening prescription sales and
significant levels of theft, which resulted in the decision to close
the store on June 4.
Johnson said that "theft at this store is 16%," which is "four times
above the company average," which contributed to losses at the
store.
The company said that it took measures to counteract theft at the
store, but was unable to put an end to the issues at the location.

Another State Strengthens ORC
Punishments
Enhanced Punishments for Retail, Identity Theft Signed into Law
A bill that strengthens punishments for organized retail crime and
identity theft and closes loopholes to protect the vulnerable has
been signed into law.
Rep. Steve Bashore, R-Miami, is the author of House Bill 3244,which
expands the definition and pattern of these crimes to better encapsulate
fraud techniques used by criminals. It closes a loophole where
criminals exploit vulnerable populations, including the elderly and
minors. Third, it greatly enhances Oklahoma identity theft laws by
expanding the scope of which items or modes are utilized by criminals.
"Retail, identity theft and overall fraud cases are a growing crisis
here in Oklahoma and the nation," Bashore said. "These thieves are
creative and ruthless when it comes to stealing personal information and
using it to defraud citizens of their assets. They also often prey upon
the vulnerable to get their participation in their crimes. This law will
enhance punishment for these criminals and give law enforcement greater
tools to stop their activity."
HB3244 includes criminals operating in two or more municipalities, or
when offenses are committed within and without the state or combined
with online or phone fraud. The bill also adds the crime of organized
retail theft, when groups work together to rob retailers.

How Long Will the Retail Hiring Spree
Last?
Is the Retail Hiring Spree Here To Stay, Despite Several Warning Signs?
Accord to federal data recounted by CNBC's Alex Harring, retailers
appear to be on a bit of a hiring spree — the sector added almost
22,000 jobs throughout April, which represented nearly 20% of total job
growth from coast to coast.
That amounts to approximately 15.5 million employees finding work in
today's U.S. retail sector, the highest figure recorded on that
score since July 2024.
Stahle continued to suggest that employers previously holding their
breath could potentially feel "a little more confident as they step
forward" based on the apparent resilience of the U.S. consumer base.
On the other hand, however, he added that while potential growth could
be in the cards, "the Iran War and a lot of these other things are
looming. And that is something that very much could impact these
industries in the months ahead." Stahle noted that with gas prices
soaring and no relief on the immediate horizon, labor force expansion
enacted by retailers could contract.
The most recent University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey echoed
this ominous warning, reflecting another record low which — according to
Joanne Hsu — dovetailed with the ongoing price hikes at the pumps.
Further, brands ranging from Whirlpool to McDonald's also warned of
stormy waters ahead, with the former underscoring a "recession-level
industry decline" based around rock-bottom consumer confidence and the
latter's CEO, Chris Kempczinksi, noting that consumer spending "may be
getting a little bit worse" as of late.

Equipping Associates with AI
Capabilities
Albertsons launches proprietary computer vision tool for supply chain
Albertsons Companies Inc. is equipping its distribution center
associates with next-gen artificial intelligence capabilities.
The grocery giant is rolling out its AI-based, patent-pending
Intelligent Quality Control tool. Built in-house by Albertsons'
technology and supply chain teams, the solution uses Google Cloud's
Gemini Enterprise agentic AI platform, including Vision AI and Gemini
models, to support the retailer's produce quality inspection teams.
Seamlessly integrating into the distribution center workflow, the
quality inspector feeds an image of the produce into the AI tool, which
runs on Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and evaluates
visual characteristics against Albertsons' established quality
standards.
The system provides a rating and recommendation designed to be
accurate and consistent to the inspector for approval. The new
Intelligent Quality Control tool is the latest development in an
established partnership between Albertsons Cos. and Google Cloud. In
2025, Albertsons was one of the first retailers to bring Google Cloud's
Conversational Commerce agent to market through its Ask AI agentic
shopping assistant.
Live now in select Albertsons distribution centers, the solution is
initially focused on quality inspections for strawberries and red
and green grapes. The company is expanding it across the entire berry
section with plans to scale the tool nationwide and incorporate more
fresh products.

'The Safety Shift'
A Shift in Safety Perceptions
An NSC report discusses core safety
challenges, total worker health and ESG concerns.
As safety organizations strive for continuous improvement, taking
the pulse of the trends in safety and devising strategies to address
them is a worthwhile endeavor.
In this light, last month, the National Safety Council, in collaboration
with Wolters Kluwer, issued a report,
The Safety Shift: EHS Readiness in 2026.
Excerpted below are some of the conclusions:
The most persistent challenges facing EHS
professionals are practical and systemic rather than cultural or
ideological. There is strong and consistent agreement on what
works to prevent serious incidents (job safety and hazard analyses and
safety leadership training) suggesting that the tools for effective
safety are well known. But their consistent application is uneven.
Regulatory compliance adds another layer of strain, with the pace
and complexity of regulatory change standing out as the single greatest
concern, particularly in translating evolving requirements into everyday
practice.
Taken together, the findings suggest core safety challenges may not
be winning greater hearts and minds at the top, but sustaining reliable
execution amid constrained resources, regulatory flux, and operational
realities, especially for those closest to the day‑to‑day work.

PayPal's $30M DEI Settlement
Justice Department Secures $30M Settlement with PayPal Over DEI
Investment Program
Today, the Justice Department announced a settlement with PayPal Inc.
to resolve a fair lending investigation into a discriminatory investment
program created for black and minority-owned businesses. The
settlement requires PayPal to launch a new Small Business Initiative
that excludes criteria based on race, national origin, or other
protected characteristics. As part of the initiative, PayPal will
waive processing fees for $1 billion of transactions - a value of
approximately $30 million - for eligible American small businesses
that are veteran-owned or engaged in farming, manufacturing, or
technology.
"This Department of Justice is delivering on President Trump's vow to
root out illegal DEI from every corner of corporate America," said
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. "American corporations are on
notice: you will face our aggressive enforcement if you use race or
national origin to discriminate against qualified Americans."
"With this settlement, PayPal agrees that race and national origin
should play no part in determining which small businesses deserve its
investment and financial support," said Assistant Attorney General
Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
"The Department will use the full range of its enforcement authorities
to eliminate discrimination and ensure that all Americans have an equal
opportunity to grow their small businesses."

How Ransomware Attacks Begin
Identity takes center stage as a leading factor in enterprise
cyberattacks
A new report shows two-thirds of
ransomware attacks began with an identity-related breach.
Seven out of every 10 organizations suffered at least one
identity-related breach over the past year, according to a report
released Tuesday by Sophos. Organizations, on average, reported three
separate identity-related incidents during that time.
Two-thirds of ransomware victims said the cyberattack stemmed from an
identity-related incident, said Sophos. The report is based on a
survey of 5,000 IT and cybersecurity leaders across 17 countries.
The mean recovery cost was $1.64 million, read the report, and
the median cost was $750,000. Seven of every 10 respondents reported
recovery costs of more than $250,000.
The report underscores the increasing role identity plays in modern
enterprise security.
"Identity is now the perimeter of cybersecurity, and that perimeter
is expanding faster than most organizations can track," Chester
Wisniewski, Director, Global Field CISO at Sophos, told Cybersecurity
Dive via email. "As cloud adoption, remote work, and machine-to-machine
connectivity accelerate, every credential, API key, service account, and
OAuth token becomes a potential entry point."
Hackers are increasingly using identity as the main point of attack,
Wisniewski said, because it allows them to bypass traditional security
defenses, move laterally within systems and get faster access to
sensitive data.

Customer Data Exposed
FleetWave outage takes another turn. Chevin confirms crooks accessed
customer data
A month after bringing systems back
online, SaaS vendor tells customers attackers potentially walked off
with operational data, contact details, and payroll numbers
A month after Chevin Fleet Solutions declared its FleetWave outage
contained and systems restored, the company has now admitted that
attackers accessed customer databases and potentially acquired
operational and personal data.
Chevin confirmed the breach in an email to customers, seen by The
Register, marking the first time it has acknowledged that data was
accessed during the April incident that knocked parts of web-based
software offline across the UK and US.
At the time, Chevin said it had pulled parts of its Azure-hosted
FleetWave tool offline while outside cybersecurity specialists
investigated. Status pages showed a "major outage" across the UK and
US, but beyond that, customers got little detail on what had happened or
whether any data had been caught up in it.
Now it turns out that at least some customer databases were indeed
affected by the breach.
According to the email, Chevin's forensic investigation determined that
an "unauthorized third-party accessed and potentially acquired
certain data" from customer databases backed up on April 3, 2026.

Spooking Attacks Hitting Microsoft
Teams
Microsoft Teams Vulnerability Allows Hackers to Perform Spoofing Attacks
A newly disclosed security vulnerability in Microsoft Teams could allow
attackers to spoof local devices, raising concerns for enterprises and
individual users who rely on the platform for daily communications.
Microsoft disclosed CVE-2026-32185 on May 12, 2026, as part of its
coordinated May 2026 Patch Tuesday Vulnerability disclosure process.
The flaw exposes a critical weakness in how Microsoft Teams handles file
and directory access, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate or
impersonate trusted elements within the application.
At its core, the vulnerability stems from files or directories in
Microsoft Teams being accessible to external parties.
This misconfiguration enables an unauthorized local attacker to perform
spoofing attacks, allowing them to deceive users into trusting malicious
content or communications that appear legitimate.

EBay at a Crossroads
EBay, the Old-School E-Commerce Site, Finds Its Place in Modern Retail
The online marketplace has remade
itself by focusing on collectibles and other high-end goods — and
attracted an unwelcome takeover bid from GameStop.
EBay, once Silicon Valley's face of the e-commerce revolution, has found
itself at a bizarre and unexpected crossroads.
The company that pioneered the online marketplace has weathered highs
and lows since the 1990s, and in recent years has managed to find its
footing again. Sales are up, profits have improved, and its stock
price has doubled over the past two years.
But suddenly, eBay may have a hostile takeover to navigate.
Last week GameStop, the video game retailer, made an unsolicited
offer to acquire eBay for $55 billion. EBay formally rejected the
proposal on Tuesday, calling it "neither credible nor attractive."
It is a wild gamble by Ryan Cohen, GameStop's chief executive, who said
he wanted to lead both businesses and transform the combined group into
a "legit competitor" to Amazon. He warned eBay's board of directors that
if it was unreceptive he was prepared to go straight to shareholders
in a hostile bid.
The proposal added a jolt of volatility to eBay, just as it seemed to
have found its groove again.
Although it remains a bazaar for people to hawk anything from chipped
dinner plates to weathered lawn mowers, the San Jose, Calif., company
has been transformed under Jamie Iannone, its latest chief executive.
Over the past several years, the company refocused on power buyers in
product categories with especially high resale demand, such as trading
cards, sneakers, handbags, car accessories and electronics.
"It's a bit of a dark horse," said Sky Canaves, a principal
analyst of retail and e-commerce at eMarketer, a research firm. "It
exists as a retailer of last resort: the discontinued, sold-out
refurbished, open-boxed and resold."

Amazon Continues to Boost Delivery
Speed
Amazon looks to redefine a need for speed with 30-minute deliveries
More than 20 years after it redefined fast shipping, Amazon is preparing
to raise the bar on consumer expectations again by offering to
fulfill customers' most urgent product needs in a half-hour or less for
an extra fee.
The company, which revolutionized online shopping in 2005 with
two-day deliveries for Prime members, is rapidly opening small
order-processing hubs in dozens of U.S. and foreign cities to cater to
shoppers who can't or don't want to wait for cough medicine to relieve
flu symptoms or tomatoes for tonight's dinner salad.
The ultrafast service, called Amazon Now, first launched in India
last June. Amazon says 30-minute deliveries now are also available
in urban areas of Brazil, Mexico, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, the
United Kingdom and the United States.
The mini-warehouses devoted to Amazon Now are about the size of a CVS
drugstore. They stock about 3,500 products for expedited delivery,
including beer, diapers, pet food, meat, nonprescription medications,
playing cards and cellphone charging cables.

Miami, FL: 14 arrested in $7.6M retail theft ring run out of Florida
family's home, AG says
More than a dozen people including several family members are facing
charges in a massive multi-million retail theft ring that was found
operating out of the Florida family's home, authorities said. The 14
arrests stem from an investigation begun in November 2025 by the Florida
Attorney General's Office Organized Retail Theft Task Force and the
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office dubbed "Operation D-Fence,"
Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a news release Wednesday. The
task force had become aware of a criminal enterprise being run out of a
home in Lutz, near Tampa, belonging to the Rengifo family, Uthmeier
said. Hillsborough Sheriff's Office detectives began an undercover
operation in which they purchased multiple items from the home, where
they saw items including power tools, electrical supplies, plumbing
equipment, air conditioning components, paint, and other retail and
construction materials, displayed in a "retail distribution manner,"
Uthmeier said. Investigators found that the criminal ring targeted Home
Depot stores and construction sites where they stole the merchandise and
equipment, which were brought to the home to be received, stored and
resold by the Rengifo family at prices well below fair market value,
authorities said. The suspects used multiple bank accounts to process
the proceeds, and records showed they managed over $7.6 million in gross
transactional activity between January 2025 and February 2026, Uthmeier
said. Authorities said the suspect spent the money on luxury vehicles,
jewelry and extensive international travel.

Barrington, IL: Man charged with stealing more than $106,000 of
merchandise from Barrington boutique
A man has been charged in connection with the theft of more than
$100,000 worth of merchandise from an upscale resale boutique last year
in north suburban Barrington. Police said, on Dec. 28, 2025, officers
responded to a burglary at Restyle Designers, a luxury consignment shop
at 121 S. Cook St. Investigators determined $106,760 worth of
merchandise had been stolen from the boutique. Detectives later
identified 21-year-old Jeremiah K. Brown as the suspect in the burglary,
after police said he was involved in another burglary of a high-end
boutique in west suburban Hinsdale in January. Brown was charged with
one felony count of burglary in the theft from Restyle Designers and was
released from custody. Police said the burglary remains under
investigation, and other suspects are likely to face charges. He also
faces multiple charges in DuPage County in connection with a break-in at
Kelsey Resale Boutique in Hinsdale on Jan. 27.

Dartmouth, MA: $51K in sunglasses stolen from Dartmouth store during
break-in
A man was arrested after he allegedly broke into an eyecare store and
stole thousands of dollars’ worth of sunglasses in Dartmouth over the
weekend. Police were called to Pearle Vision off Faunce Corner Road for
an alarm activation around 4 a.m. Saturday. When officers arrived, they
found the front door smashed, display cases damaged and a significant
amount of merchandise stolen. While searching the area, police said they

from a backpack he was carrying, according to police. Kerman, 51, of
Fairhaven, was eventually apprehended. Inside the backpack, police said
they found numerous pairs of sunglasses from Pearle Vision with the
price tags still attached, valued at nearly $51,000. Photos shared by
the police department show shattered glass at the business, hundreds of
sunglasses lined up on a table, as well as multiple recovered items,
including the backpack, gloves, a ski mask and cash.

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
Charleston County, SC: Armed robber sent to hospital with head and face injuries
after employee fights back
An alleged armed robber ended up being sent to the hospital after an employee at
the store he was attempting to rob fought back. According to the North
Charleston Police Department, Justin Adkins, 33, was charged with robbery while
armed with a deadly weapon and malicious injury to property under $2,000.
Officers said they responded to the Vape and Smoke Shop on Rivers Avenue around
11 p.m. on Tuesday in reference to a robbery in progress. When officers arrived,
they reported seeing extensive damage inside the store, with merchandise
scattered on the floor. The worker also had Adkins detained and pinned to the
floor when officers entered the store, police noted. Surveillance video from the
vape shop appeared to show Adkins entering the store and speaking with the
employee, keeping one hand hidden in a brown paper bag. Adkins, officers say,
demanded money and claimed he had a gun. After the employee refused the demand,
Adkins allegedly threatened to shoot him and began throwing merchandise. A fight
ensued that ended with Adkins being held down. The 33-year-old suspect was taken
to the hospital with injuries to his head and face before being booked into the
Al Cannon Detention Center.
