Shoplifters in Dauphin are working in groups and in a more organized fashion as opposed to alone.
Many businesses are looking to deal with the issue rather than ignore it and have been approaching Riehl Securities for solutions and help with loss prevention.
Business owners have taken to social media posts to help identify shoplifters.
Kerri Riehl, owner of Riehl Securities, says it’s the same people who are shoplifting.
“That is also a concern I am hearing from the business community is that it’s the same people. There’s people that are banned from every grocery store and getting prescriptions and if you follow social media you can see that it’s the same people being identified.”
Anyone trying to apprehend or deal with shoplifters should be properly trained to prevent any injuries or liabilities.
Riehl is working on a database of shoplifters in the area as a resource for businesses.
