supermarkets have now resorted to placing cheese and luxury meat products under lock and key to try and stop organised shoplifting from taking place, the Supermarket Association of T&T has stated.
The SATT stated, however, that this and other costs to implement security measures could be decreased if “serious and sustainable actions” were taken by the authorities.
“We also note that the cost of security and security measures in our industry is very high and, in fact, increasing. This is a cost that can be decreased if there are serious and sustainable actions taken by the authorities to control and reduce crime levels in dealing with criminal elements,” SATT said in a release issued yesterday.
“These costs borne by retailers have become necessary in the face of soaring and organised pilferage. The perception lingers that there are no consequences for these actions of deliberate theft. This becomes plainly evident when items such as cheese and luxury meat products are placed under lock and key to try to stymie losses due to pilferage,” it added.
The SATT said this must be adjusted by not only meaningful policing and joint patrols, but by enabling the proper recourse via the prescribed legislation which is “regrettably leaky to allow repeat offenders time and time again.”
“We must offer comfort to our shoppers to provide a safe and secure shopping environment. We now seek the same comfort from those entrusted with the administration of planning those measures aimed at combating this dire situation from which has severely impacted the business community and greatly shrunken the appetite from SMEs for commercial risk. We look forward to meaningfully supporting national efforts in this regard,” SATT said.
SATT yesterday noted with considerable concern and distress the continuous rise and intensity of criminal activity that is hampering public confidence and commercial retail activity.
According to SATT the record murder toll not only shocks the shopping public, but also emboldens miscreants while retailers hold their breath wondering if they are next.
“The clamour for Firearm User’s Licenses by the business community comes at a time when there is a debate about whether the licenses obtained by some persons were deemed to be illicit or ill-gotten. In that instance, we welcome the prosecution of those persons so that the legitimate needs of the business community, who continue to cower in fear of the criminal element, are met with some empathy by the office of the Commissioner of Police,” SATT said.
