Over half of retailers are upping their spending on security hardware and software. In the past year, 61% of retailers increased investments in security technology or software solutions (such as surveillance systems, alarm sensors, AI-based theft detection, etc.).
O.R.C. is driven by sophisticated, organized groups that treat retail theft as a business. These networks often operate across multiple jurisdictions, using teams of “boosters” (thieves) to steal to-order merchandise and fencing operations to quickly resell the goods.
