How Do You Spot Retail Theft?

There are several subtle behaviours that criminals may display when about to shoplift; however, it is important to remember that just because someone displays these signs, does not mean they are a thief.

  • Displaying anxious behaviour, such as shifting or fidgeting a lot.
  • Paying close attention to the whereabouts of your staff.
  • Avoiding eye contact with employees or customers.
  • Sticking to quieter areas of the store and attempting to avoid being seen.
  • Wearing oversized, baggy clothing or coats – especially in warmer weather.
  • Entering and exiting the store without making any purchases.
