How Would You Stop These Champagne Gangs Stealing from Our Supermarkets ?
In the News
These Romanian criminal gangs are not just stealing random items from supermarkets, they are targeting luxury goods like champagne that is much sought after back in their own country
They operate like agents in the movies, working in small teams using bluetooth headsets to communicate with each other
Despite the supermarkets upgrading their security regarding the trollies with technology to track them and put a brake on the wheels, the thieves stopped using them and turned to using bags and baskets instead
Up to now they have got away with more than £2.4 million in luxury goods
The problem is if they are caught they are just fined or sent back to their own country
I think all supermarkets should have these items locked in cabinets and only given at the till after they have been paid for , maybe at a certain collection point
The supermarkets could put a few dummy bottles on display filled with water , that would take the sparkle away lol
What ideas can you think of that supermarkets could adapt to fight these types of crimes ?
