Sometimes shoplifting is not a well thought out, super high tech crime. Sometimes shoplifting happens because of an individual’s immediate need. These low-tech crimes are still happening frequently. Checkpoint Security Systems are an ideal way to identify these shoplifters.
A recent news story came out around a lady who decided to go into her local supermarket to shoplift. She seemed to think that the best way to commit this crime was to conceal the product that she wanted. She was extremely obvious in her crime, and was quickly caught on the store’s Checkpoint Security System.
This woman walked over to the seafood section and quickly picked up several packages of lobster tails. She picked up so many packages that the total was over $80 dollars worth. Since she didn’t think to bring a bag with her, she used the next best thing- her pants.
The store security team watched as she stuffed her pants full of packages of lobster tails and then wobbled her way to the exit doors. Because her pants were so full, she was even more obvious as she tried to leave. When she was apprehended, she told police that she was going to trade the tails to a friend for either a buffet lunch or for some prescription drugs.
