Rising Shoplifting Rates Prompt Retailers to Utilize Body Cams

Shoplifting in Dallas has increased by 73% in the first half of this year, making it one of the highest rates among major US cities. The rise in theft has prompted retailers to implement security measures such as locked cases and security gates. The increase in shoplifting may be attributed to a combination of rising incidents and increased reporting to the police. Dallas is also experiencing a rise in organized retail crime, where criminal groups steal and resell merchandise for profit. Retailers are sharing information and videos of thieves to catch and convict them.
