Shoplifting: The Battle On The High Street? is on ITV1, Tonight at 8:30pm
Since 2019 shoplifting has nearly doubled, costing retailers just short of £1 billion pounds a year. But aside from the financial impact, retailers are reporting that thieves are becoming more brazen and their methods more aggressive. Speaking to staff and business owners on the front line, Paul Brand investigates the reasons behind Britain's shoplifting epidemic.
There's no doubt that this has got worse in recent years, particularly the willingness to use violence, aggression, and weapons targeted towards shop workersWe’ll meet One Stop shop worker Niall Stranix who bravely fought off a gun-wielding shoplifter, as well as independent business owner Domonique Woodward who has had to physically wrestle with shoplifters. She believes shoplifters feel protected and emboldened by the law to steal as long as the goods are less than £200.
I feel like shoplifting has almost been decriminalised because if you were to call the police, 80% of the time you will not get a police response.
