Excellent work by Toronto Police Service! Just last week Toronto Crime Stoppers launched Phase 4 of our Organized Retail Theft awareness campaign to bring attention to this growing community crime concern. For more information, visit www.ItCostsUsAll.com https://lnkd.in/ggSbAc5r

Organized Retail Theft continues to evolve as a lucrative, criminal enterprise and presents a significant threat to the safety of employees and the overall community. What has become increasingly clear, is, this is no longer just shoplifting – it is a highly organized operation, with offenders specifically targeting retailers and executing sophisticated plans to steal merchandise. Beyond the financial impact, the violence associated with these crimes is deeply concerning - these offenders are not afraid to introduce violence against innocent employees or customers who get in their way. Recent, brazen day light Jewelry Store Smash & Grab style thefts are a clear example of this escalating level of violence. Since our last Retail Theft campaign in 2023, the scale of the problem has dramatically escalated, growing from a $5 billion challenge to a staggering $9.1 billion crisis for Canadian retailers annually, as estimated by the Retail Council of Canada in a recent media report. Remaining aware of community crime challenges and recognizing the continued threat this activity poses to our community, Toronto Crime Stoppers is launching this refreshed, proactive campaign to raise awareness about Retail Theft and the associated Illicit trade that comes with it. The focus of this new campaign is to create added awareness in the community on the growing issue of retail theft, remind offenders that, as a community, we are taking action and lastly, provide citizens in our City with a conduit to relay anonymous information of those involved in this type of crime, to police, through contacting Crime Stoppers. This includes those who knowingly purchase stolen goods, further enabling the cycle of crime. This latest initiative has been strategically designed to capture the public's attention, demonstrate the reality of the issue, while also highlighting the safety risks posed to our community. Additionally, today, as part of this awareness campaign, Toronto Crime Stoppers is activating an Enhanced Cash Reward of up to $500 per tip, for any information leading to the apprehension of those engaged Retail Crime activity. This enhanced cash reward is only available until April 6th, 2025. So, if you have something to say – say it now, and by doing so you will be making your community a safer place.
