Let’s make their holidays a little less merry.
They’re swift, savvy, and smart. Organized retail crime (ORC) rings dispatch teams of professional shoplifters or ‘boosters’ to target malls and make off with thousands of dollars in unpaid merchandise. Retailers have long employed loss prevention experts, plain-clothes personnel and installed video surveillance systems to combat theft inside their stores. But ORC criminals are experts and the odds are in their favor. When thieves are caught in the act, they often have a small amount of stolen goods on their person at any given time. This means the chargeable offense may amount to little more than a misdemeanor even though the booster’s team has one or more vehicles sitting in the parking lot filled with merchandise.
As a result, retailers and law enforcement are looking for fresh approaches to fighting ORC. When placed in plain sight outside large stores or malls, MPS mobile surveillance camera trailers serve as a very effective deterrent and signal a watchful presence is on the premises. They operate around-the-clock and provide valuable video evidence that can be used to track down criminals and increase property recovery rates.
