Shoplifting is up 93% since 2019, and retailers have even tracked a 57% increase on average in organized retail crime incidents from 2022 to 2023. High theft rates impact tax revenue and our local economies by destabilizing businesses in jurisdictions statewide - so MRA will continue to pursue and support policies to address this major issue.

Retailers are facing a significant surge in shoplifting incidents and associated losses. The National Retail Federation reports a 93% increase in shoplifting incidents in 2023 compared to pre-pandemic levels, with monetary losses rising by 90%. This uptick is linked to organized retail crime groups reselling stolen goods. Additionally, shoplifters are exhibiting increased aggression, with 91% of retailers noting more violent behavior compared to 2019. In response, retailers are implementing measures such as locking up merchandise and enhancing employee training to combat this growing issue. Conversations On Retail, Brand L.
