Organised Retail Crime in the UK: How Gangs Operate — and How Vision-AI Spots Them First

This isn’t opportunistic theft

A growing share of UK retail losses comes from organised gangs that case stores, hit multiple branches in a day and move goods through established resale networks, per eMarketer. Favourite targets: alcohol, cosmetics, meat, baby formula and medicines.
