Shoplifting:
still growing
Colonel R. L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said recently that 21,086 criminal offenses of shoplifting were reported in 1985, a 7.2 percent increase of 1984.
“Shoplifting is a serious criminal offense,” he said, “and creates problems for everyone _ the shoplifter, his/her family, the community, the stores, the courts and the police.
Most merchants, even the larger businesses, generally have to raise the cost of merchandise a certain percentage just to cover additional expenses such as stolen goods, surveillance equipment and security personnel. Shoplifting also can mean higher taxes as police and court costs increase.
State Pohce say there is no such person as a “typical” shoplifter, noting they can be all kinds of persons _ juveniles, adults, “average” shoppers, drug addicts, store employees, and “professional” thieves. Persons under 18 years of age make up more than half of all shoplifters.
