Shop theft has been building for years – here's how to tackle retail crime and keep workers safe

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, October 3, 2023

Retail crime cost UK shops £1.76 billion in the year to April 2023, according to the British Retail Consortium.

Key Points: 
  • Retail crime cost UK shops £1.76 billion in the year to April 2023, according to the British Retail Consortium.
  • The increase in theft from UK grocery and convenience shops is often blamed on the cost of living crisis.
  • But this situation has been building for many years because overburdened policing and criminal justice systems can’t cope with a rise in organised crime and drug-fuelled stealing.
  • I interviewed a shop manager who had been threatened by a customer for a 2019 report.
  • But the resulting lack of police data also makes it difficult to identify who exactly is committing theft and where.

Is the cost of living crisis to blame?

    • Research shows 70% of shop theft is committed by frequent users of class A drugs.
    • Those using shop theft to support a drug addiction report they typically generate around one third to a half of retail price when they sell stolen goods.
    • Where the cost of living crisis might be contributing to the uplift in theft is in people’s willingness to buy stolen goods, particularly through online marketplaces, or at car boot sales, pubs, clubs and even in other shops.

Systems in crisis

    • For offenders that are caught, the average custodial sentence for a shop theft is two months (automatic release means half of this is served in prison).
    • Adults released from custodial sentences of less than or equal to 6 months have a proven reoffending rate of 56.5%.
    • Businesses known to be in receipt of stolen goods need to be investigated and online marketplaces better regulated.


    Retailers must make sure awareness of the risk of shop theft is company-wide. But they should also accept that approaches might have to differ at store level, depending on location. Regardless, taking action to protect staff and products should be their top concern.
