No, there is evidence that shoplifting is on the rise and it is a growing concern. In April 2021, the United Kingdom’s official crime statistics revealed that reported shoplifting offences had risen by 15.7%. This is the highest year-on-year increase since records began in 2008. Other reports suggest that retail crime has been rising since the start of 2021, and that shoplifting is a significant problem for many retailers.
