Following the Stolen Merchandise
The Resale Side of Organized Retail
Crime
 By
the D&D Daily staff
When organized retail crime is discussed, attention often focuses on the
theft itself. Surveillance footage, apprehensions and high-profile
incidents tend to dominate the conversation. Yet for organized retail
crime operations, the theft is only the beginning.
Stolen merchandise has little value unless it can be converted into
cash. That is why resale channels remain a critical component of many
organized retail crime schemes. Whether goods are sold through
unauthorized online accounts, flea markets, social media platforms or
other secondary markets, the ability to move merchandise creates the
financial incentive that fuels continued theft activity.
This reality helps explain why law enforcement agencies and retail
investigators often place significant emphasis on identifying resale
operations. While individual theft incidents may involve relatively
small amounts of merchandise, organized groups can generate substantial
profits when stolen products are collected, consolidated and resold at
scale.
The products most frequently targeted by organized retail crime
groups often share common characteristics. They are typically easy
to conceal, widely available, in consistent consumer demand and capable
of being resold quickly. Health and beauty products, over-the-counter
medications, cosmetics, fragrances and certain consumer goods have long
been attractive targets for these reasons.
For retailers, understanding the role of resale channels can provide
important context when evaluating organized theft activity. Multiple
theft incidents involving the same products may indicate demand that
extends well beyond a single offender. Investigators frequently look for
patterns that connect stolen merchandise to broader distribution and
resale networks operating across multiple locations or jurisdictions.
Efforts to combat organized retail crime increasingly focus on
disrupting these downstream markets. Enhanced information sharing,
partnerships with law enforcement and collaboration with online
marketplaces have all become part of the broader strategy.
While theft remains the most visible aspect of organized retail crime,
the larger challenge often lies beyond the store exit. Following
the merchandise after it leaves the shelf can provide valuable insight
into the networks that profit from retail theft and help inform more
effective prevention efforts.
Shoplifting Drops 16% in Atlanta
Atlanta crime rates show a dramatic drop, police data reveals
City sees a significant drop in
overall crime this year, with only aggravated assaults rising.
Despite several headline-grabbing violent attacks in recent weeks,
overall crime is down so far this year in Atlanta, according to the
latest police data.
Except for aggravated assaults, all major crime categories have seen
double-digit declines compared with the same period a year ago.
Homicide: -12%
Rape: -14%
Aggravated Assault: +21%
Robbery: -22%
Burglary: -24%
Motor Vehicle Theft: -25%
Theft From Motor Vehicle: -33%
Shoplifting: -16%
Crime in north Atlanta, Midtown and Downtown had the biggest drops.
Zone 2 (-22%) and Zone 5 (-24%) saw the biggest overall decreases due to
declines in property crime, including burglary and motor vehicle theft.
Zone 3, covering southeast Atlanta, was the only area in which
overall crime is up (+11%), mostly due to a 42% increase in
aggravated assault. Zone 3 also had the fewest overall crimes.

Police Progress, Retail Skepticism
Retail crime remains out of control despite signs of progress, say
retailers
A burglary, CCTV evidence and a case
ultimately dropped due to’ evidential difficulties’. Asian Trader
investigates the growing gap between police claims and retailer
experiences
Police say shoplifting is slowly coming under control. Retailers say
it is getting worse. At the heart of the debate lies a growing
confidence gap that may be just as damaging as crime itself, finds Asian
Trader.
Lately, crime and shop theft have been major defining challenges
facing Britain's retail sector. Shoplifting, abuse, violence,
burglary and organised theft have become recurring themes in industry
reports, retailer surveys and political debates.
Hardly a week passes without another retailer reports of offenders
brazenly walking out with baskets of goods, threatening staff, or
returning time and again despite previous warnings. On the other
hand, tackling shoplifting and other forms of retail crime continue have
been on the agenda of police forces across the country.
In April, the Metropolitan Police reported that shoplifting offences
in London fell by 3.7 per cent in the year ending March 2026,
equivalent to around 3,200 fewer incidents than the previous year.
The force says it has nearly doubled the number of shoplifting cases
solved, increased arrests by almost 50 per cent and improved positive
outcomes, including arrests, charges and convictions. The figures
suggest progress. However, convenience retailers Asian Trader spoke to
beg to disagree.
The Metropolitan Police stated that at present, just 20 per cent of
shoplifting cases are submitted with CCTV evidence. Where clear CCTV
is provided, officers are able to identify around 80 per cent of
suspects by running images through facial recognition software and crime
databases.

Canada's Crime Reform Package
Canada’s sweeping bail and sentencing reforms targeting extortion, auto
theft and organized crime become law
Over 80 targeted changes to the
Criminal Code on bail and sentencing are now law
The Government of Canada has heard from communities across the country
that public safety is an issue of grave concern, and we have taken
action to help keep everyone in Canada safe. Certain communities
have been struck by a rise in extortions, car thefts and organized
crime, which is why the government introduced legislation to crack down
on such crimes and hold offenders to account.
The Bail and Sentencing Reform Act (Bill C-14), with some of the
most significant reforms to make bail and sentencing laws stronger,
has passed into law, delivering on our commitment to strengthen the
Criminal Code.
Shaped by extensive consultations and close collaboration with partners
across the country, these reforms were backed by premiers from every
province and territory, as well as mayors, and law enforcement who
called for the bill’s swift passage. The changes on bail and
sentencing will come into force on July 15, 2026.

Store Safety Remains Priority
Retail has a safety crisis, and new research shows how leaders are
responding
Shoplifting at U.S. retail stores rose 18% in 2024, according to
the National Retail Federation, and threats of violence during these
incidents climbed 17% in the same period. These are not just numbers to
the employees showing up to work, not knowing what the shift will bring.
A new survey from Axon, a leader in safety and security technology,
finds that retail leadership is paying attention to these problems.
Nine in ten retail executives say workplace safety is a top priority for
their organization. Eighty percent say it caused operational
disruption in the past year.
That toll has a price. The costs show up quickly and in multiple
directions, with the top effects reported including higher insurance
or legal expenses, increased employee turnover and higher hiring and
recruitment costs. These pressures compound over time, with each
challenge feeding into the next and making it harder for stores to get
ahead of the problem.
For the retail workers absorbing the daily tension of understaffed
stores and difficult customer situations that can escalate quickly, the
stakes are personal. These are the employees who are on the floor
each day, responding to difficult moments in real time while absorbing
the ongoing stress of simply not knowing what the next interaction might
bring. The workforce consequences, including turnover, recruitment
strain and burnout, are a direct reflection of what the job has become.
Retailers are responding. When asked whether they support greater
investment in safety and efficiency measures, more than 4 in 5 retail
leaders strongly favor or favor increased spending. Technology is
where much of that appetite is focused, with majority support for
solutions ranging from body-worn cameras, which can operate as a
personal safety device, and de-escalation training to AI-powered tools
and real-time monitoring operations centers.
Retailers are also tracking whether the investments pay off. Store
performance and customer experience rank among the top ways retail
organizations measure whether safety spending is working. Behind
those metrics are real people, workers who want to feel supported on the
job and customers who want to shop without worry.
The tension shoppers may sense when they walk through the door is the
same tension retail workers feel every shift. But the gap between
that reality and the promise of a safer experience is closing.
Technology has given retailers more ways to protect the people in their
stores - training platforms that prepare workers for real situations
before they happen, AI tools that help teams respond faster, and
solutions that make it easier to de-escalate a situation before it gets
worse.

Passing Tariff Refunds to Customers?
BJ’s Wholesale Club uses tariff refunds to cut prices
The rebates helped reduce overall
retail prices by about half a percentage point.
BJ’s Wholesale Club used tariff refunds to help reduce overall retail
prices by about half a percentage point, President and CEO Bob Eddy
told investors.
Applying the refund to lower prices widened the membership
warehouse club’s price advantage over competitors, Eddy said on a May 22
Q1 earnings call.
“We will continue to use any source of gain that we can to really
bring that value back to our members so that we can build the
franchise for the long term,” Eddy said.
BJ’s is one of several retailers to direct tariff refunds toward
lower prices, following the February Supreme Court ruling that found
President Donald Trump had imposed country-specific tariffs illegally.
Walmart plans to prioritize its anticipated $2.4 billion in tariff
rebates for price cuts, while beauty brand E.l.f. Beauty expects
to use its $58.5 million in refunds to reduce prices and boost sales
volumes.
BJ’s executives did not specify the exact amount of tariff refunds
received. CFO Laura Felice said tariff refund benefits provided
about a 50-basis-point lift to merchandise margin last quarter, equating
to roughly $20 million.

Health Benefits Key to Talent Strategy
Employee survey from the Society of
Human Resource Management also found flexible work evolving.
Health-related benefits continue to serve as the foundation of a
competitive total rewards strategy, according to a new survey, 2026

The majority of employers (88%) rate them as “very important” or
“extremely important.”
“This year’s survey highlights that health coverage remains the
foundation of competitive benefits, while retirement and leave
offerings are central to workforce stability,” said Alex Alonso, chief
knowledge officer, SHRM, in a statement.
“We’re seeing a strong shift toward technology access, with more
employers investing in AI tools. Flexible work arrangements are evolving,

Values-Driven Consumer Spending
What Should Brand Positioning Look Like as Consumers’ Preferred
Sociopolitical Values Show Deep Rifts?
A pair of recent reports issued by Sogolytics and the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation (HRC) show a potential divergence in consumer
demands from various U.S. consumer demographics while also signaling
agreement on one major front: Shoppers are increasingly aligning
their intentional spend with retailers and brands that best represent
their own sociopolitical values — even if some shoppers would prefer
if neutrality (or even silence) were more commonplace in this context.
The HRC report, titled
“Pride in the Marketplace ’26: The Power of LGBTQ+ Consumer Trust and
Corporate Inclusion,” highlighted survey data showing that LGBTQ+
consumers were pulling back from companies that had either pulled back
from, or hadn’t at all, backed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
policies and supports. That report indicated that LGBTQ+ consumers
represented $1.4 trillion in U.S. annual consumer spend, and that 71.5%
of shoppers whom self-identified within that category had purchased
fewer products from companies “perceived as reducing DEI commitments.”

How to Streamline Management With
Advanced Convenience Store Security
The United States convenience store industry has seen rapid
expansion and transformation in recent years. Market data shows that convenience
stores were the
fastest-growing retail channel in the US from 2023 to 2024, with 1.5%
year-over-year growth. Across the nation, over 150,000 convenience stores are in
operation. However, as growth accelerates, businesses find themselves struggling
to effectively scale their operations with the addition of new locations,
employees, and systems.
For these multi-location convenience store businesses, bottlenecks arise as
their existing security infrastructure creates disconnected stores and isolated
management, which inhibit productivity and impact business performance. To solve
this, organizations can turn to centralized cloud video security to unify
locations, users, and devices, improving operations and security in a single
pane of glass.
In this article, we explore the challenges facing convenience stores and
highlight how an open platform cloud video surveillance solution can help
organizations overcome these obstacles, unify operations, and prepare for
scalable, flexible growth.
How a Disconnected Organization Hurts Convenience Store
Operations
Convenience stores often operate across a wide range of areas, serving diverse
customer bases with unique needs and expectations, creating a phenomenon known
as “market-type
dispersion.” Research shows when store units are isolated in their different
market types, the organization tends to see overall diminished performance at
both chain and single store levels. To address profitability and reduce
operational costs, many companies have pursued standardization of processes
across locations. However, these initiatives frequently encounter obstacles such
as inadequate tools and outdated infrastructure, making it difficult to
efficiently meet each location’s unique needs and increasing the risk of costly
errors in daily operations.
Below, we’ll examine the three sides of this issue and how they create more work
for location-specific operators as well as the entire organization, negatively
impacting the bottom line and creating less support for team members.
Fragmented, Isolated Convenience Store Locations
One of the most pressing challenges for multi-location convenience store
organizations is the fragmentation of systems and operations across their
stores, created by outdated security systems without remote access. District
managers often need to visit each site in person to ensure operations are
running smoothly or to review security footage, creating extra time and effort
to managing these locations.
Fragmented operations is a problem that only gets compounded when you factor in
the high rates of staff turnover within the industry. According to the
NACS SOI Compensation Report of 2022, average turnover rates for store
associates have reached 141%, up substantially from previous years, and have
consistently exceeded 100% since 2016. For those managing security systems,
constant staff changes require frequent updates as to who can access cameras and
security systems across locations, increasing the number of overall site visits.
If store managers fail to remove access promptly, it can create security gaps
and increase risk.

Retail's Complexity Creates Cyber
Exposure
Retail’s Biggest Security Risk Might Be Its Own Operations
With breaches nearly doubling,
retail's structural complexity is increasingly becoming its most
dangerous cybersecurity liability
Retailers are facing an increasingly hostile cyber threat environment,
as attackers grow more sophisticated in exploiting the structural
complexities that define how the sector operates.
According to the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report,
retail breaches have doubled year-over-year as the threat landscape
evolves with strategy intent.
For CX leaders, teams that sit at the intersection of this threat must
understand that what is driving this exposure has never been more
urgent.
Speaking with CX Today, Tim Waterton, CRO at HappyOrNot, draws a
parallel between operational pressure and how attackers are targeting
security infrastructure, suggesting the industry’s own complexity is
being used against it.
“The data suggests attackers have worked out exactly the same thing
about retail’s security infrastructure,” he pointed out.
Why Retail’s Defenses Are Being Outpaced
The DBIR shows a significant shift in how retail organizations are
being compromised, attacker behavior is shifting, and systems are
being targeted faster than ever before, with overtaken stolen
credentials now being the leading initial access method for breaches.
Across industries, 31% of breaches now start with vulnerability
exploitation, with more attackers enabling AI to compress the time
between vulnerability discovery and exploitation from months to just
hours, placing increasing pressure on window defenders.
In retail specifically, there is additional pressure from multiple
overlapping attack paths all at once, such as ransomware, credential
theft, and vulnerability exploitation, seeing a 2x increase in targeting
and success rates for attackers.
This layered breakdown of defensive controls creates a compounding risk
environment where one control failure increases the likelihood of
others being exploited.

What's Fueling Cyber Insurance Losses?
Ransomware and Third-Party Vendors Drive Highest Cyber Insurance Losses,
Willis Report Finds
Ransomware remains the costliest
category of cyber event while third-party vendor incidents are
responsible for a growing share of losses, according to Willis.
Cyber insurance is covering more than 95% of the average data breach
loss and 90% of the average first-party loss for policyholders,
according to a new report from Willis.
The report identifies ransomware, third-party vendor failures, and
the amplifying effects of artificial intelligence as forces shaping
cyber insurance losses, and notes that organizations whose policy
limits and response plans do not reflect their actual risk profile face
heightened exposure.
“Cyber insurance cover varies widely, which is why organizations must
understand what they have in place and ensure it aligns with their risk
exposures,” said Peter Foster, chairman, global FINEX cyber and
cyber risk solutions at Willis. “When cover doesn’t reflect reality,
organizations risk critical gaps where protection is needed most, while
paying for cover that offers little real value.”
The report draws on approximately 5,500 claims from more than 95
countries and roughly $1 billion in insurer payments spanning 2013
to January 2026.

Risks of AI-Powered Apps
Hundreds of AI-powered iOS apps found exposing credentials
Mobile app developers are packing AI features into everything
from writing assistants to productivity tools and lifestyle apps. New
research shows that securing access to those services remains a
challenge.
Researchers from Wake Forest University analyzed 444 iOS applications
with LLM features and found 282 that exposed exploitable credentials or
backend access mechanisms. The affected apps covered 13 categories,
including productivity, entertainment, lifestyle, education, utilities,
and health and fitness.
LLM-powered applications reached 17 billion downloads in 2025 and
accounted for 13% of all mobile app downloads.
“LLM API key leakage is a widespread and systemic issue in the
iOS ecosystem, affecting 26% of analyzed Apps across diverse categories
and developer types. The vulnerability’s impact extends from niche Apps
to popular apps with hundreds of thousands of users,” the researchers
noted.

Consumers Lean Into AI
EXCLUSIVE: Despite trust issues, consumer use of AI search grows
Consumers are leveraging AI for
product search, whether they like it or not.
Seven-in-10 consumers say their use of AI for product and brand
search has increased during the past year. Only 4% have never used
AI tools for search at all. However, results of a survey of 1,008 U.S.
consumers exclusively released to Chain Store Age by digital marketing
agency Fractl reveals that only 54% of respondents found AI more helpful
than traditional search, down 34% from 82% in 2025.
During that same time period, the percentage of respondents actively
rating AI less helpful than traditional search grew almost sixfold to
17% from 3%. Surprisingly, boomers (63%) were more likely than Gen Z
respondents (47%) to say AI search is more helpful.
Respondents were asked how brand usage of AI affects their trust. The
percentage saying heavy AI use would decrease their trust in a
favorite brand doubled to 40% from 20% in 2025. Fourteen percent
said their brand trust would decrease significantly, while another 14%
would trust a brand more for using AI heavily.
More than half (54%) of Gen Z respondents say their trust would
decrease if a favorite brand used AI for most marketing, compared to 33%
of Gen X and 32% of boomers. Women penalize more than men (44% vs.
34%).
In addition, 84% of respondents want written AI content labeled while
91% want video AI content labeled, 90% want AI images labeled and
87% want AI audio labeled.

Bridgeport, CT: Update, DOJ: NY jeweler gets 2 years for role in $4.4M
jewelry theft ring that targeted CT malls
A Queens jewelry store owner was sentenced to two years in prison on
Monday after pleading guilty to buying and selling jewelry stolen from
across the country, the United States Attorney's Office for the District
of Connecticut announced. The 55-year-old Brooklyn native, Salim Sakal,
conspired with an organized jewelry theft ring of Colombian nationals,
according to court documents and statements made in court. Sakal was the
co-owner of Ramoun Jewelry, located in Corona, New York, which sold fine
jewelry to retail customers. The store purchased jewelry from a
third-party theft ring that burglarized malls and kiosks in Connecticut,
Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, and Virginia. Sakal worked with
the organized theft ring to receive, store and sell jewelry stolen in
seven burglaries between August 2023 and April 2024. The total value
of the burglarized jewelry exceeded $4.4 million, according to the
U.S. Attorney's Office. Bridgeport Judge Kari A. Dooley also sentenced
Sakal to three years of supervised release, according to the U.S.
Attorney's Office. Sakal was ordered in January to pay $2,471,457 in
restitution along with others convicted in the case. Sakal is expected
to report to prison on October 5 and is currently free on a $1 million
None of the stolen jewelry has been recovered by law enforcement.

New York, NY: Mobster Accused in $1.7 Million Chanel Burglary
A reputed Gambino crime family member with a long criminal history has
been accused of masterminding a $1.7 million burglary at Chanel's
flagship Manhattan boutique, according to prosecutors. Thomas "Tommy"
Dono, 52, allegedly oversaw the theft of nearly 300 luxury items
worth $1,776,700 during an overnight burglary at Chanel's store on East
57th Street in July 2024, the New York Post reported, citing court
records and law enforcement sources. Prosecutors say Dono directed the
operation from a white minivan parked outside the store while a crew of
about 10 accomplices spent hours carrying out the burglary. The thieves
allegedly gained access through a stockroom ceiling hatch and removed
merchandise using large laundry and trash bags before transporting the
stolen goods through a nearby construction site and into a waiting van.
None of the stolen merchandise has been recovered, authorities said.
Dono pleaded not guilty to grand larceny charges after his arrest last
month and was released on $300,000 bond.

Shootings & Deaths
Montreal, Canada: Police Officer, suspect, and civilian dead in Montreal
shooting
Montreal police confirmed three people are dead, including a police officer and
a civilian, after a suspect started shooting at a hotel in the Côte-des-Neiges
district Monday morning. Police Chief Fady Dagher said a second officer was also
seriously injured in the shooting but is in stable condition. Dagher said he did
not know who shot the civilian. He said the suspect, who was armed with a long
gun, was killed, adding that police do not think there is a second shooter.
Police confirmed the suspect was dead before authorities issued the alert.
Authorities say someone called 911 around 11:35 a.m. about a person who was
sticking a gun out from a window at the Hilton hotel. Officers said they arrived
at the scene and were targeted with gunfire. “It’s a very, very sad day,” Dagher
told reporters. “It’s a nightmare.” He said it’s been 24 years since a Montreal
police officer has been killed in the line of duty. A public safety alert issued
across radio, TV and mobile phones Monday afternoon advised residents to shelter
in place, lock the doors and stay away from windows while police responded. The
alert was lifted just after 3 p.m.

Medford, OR: Police say fatal shooting at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Medford was
self-inflicted, at gun counter
Medford police confirmed Sunday that a shooting death at the gun counter at the
Medford Sportsman’s Warehouse on Saturday was the result of a self-inflicted
gunshot wound. Police responded to reports of shots fired at just before 10 a.m.
after reports of a man firing a gun at the gun counter inside the store.
Witnesses at the scene later told the Rogue Valley Times that some three-dozen
customers and store employees fled the store at 1710 Delta Waters Road after
