Retail crime: How Tesco, Primark and more are making shopfloors safer

Labour’s highly anticipated Crime and Policing Bill, which includes tougher laws on retail crime, was put before Parliament this week.
The bill, which was welcomed by retailers across the sector, contains over 50 measures including stricter penalties for shoplifting of items under £200 and making it a new offence to assault a shop worker.
The highly-anticipated bill comes as the British Retail Consortium warned last month that retail crime was “spiralling out of control”.
