Over the course of a recent weekend, Charlotte Russe prevented 87 attempts by organized retail criminals to steal merchandise. Had the would-be thieves been successful, the San Diego-based specialty retailer would have lost product valued at $34,264.

The loss prevention team for SUPERVALU’s Albertsons Southern California division recently nailed a serial shoplifter who, when caught in the past, had been charged with only misdemeanors. This time, however, the investigative work done by the LP team sent him to jail on a substantial sentence as a felony criminal.

In both cases, these retail loss prevention teams used crime incident reporting databases to supplement their LP/asset protection programs. In the process, they accumulated the intelligence they needed to pro-actively repel retail criminals and obtain the evidence that would help capture and convict them.
