The repeat offender hitting your stores this week has likely hit your competitor too.

When it comes to stopping crime, we see retail competitors ban together to connect the dots between offenders impacting both brands.

Connecting intelligence across retailers gives brands big and small visibility into not only the offenders affecting their stores, but also the total scope of those offenders' crimes. That added context allows them to build more comprehensive cases.

Without that network, the majority of offending would look like one-offs to smaller retailers that may not see more than one store hit by the same retailer.

Connected intelligence gives more stores the ability to join the movement against organized retail crime.

“There is this trend towards using violence as a tactic to get in and out of stores quickly.”

At this year's NRF Protect conference, Phil Thomson shared recent data from millions of retail events logged in Auror. More of these events now involve violence, weapons, or threatening behavior, putting frontline retail staff under increasing pressure and threat.

The data also shows that offenders are no longer staying local or brand-loyal. Instead, they’re moving across jurisdictions and targeting multiple retailers as part of wider coordinated activity, including organized crime groups linked across dozens of states.

Understanding this shift is critical to understanding the state of retail crime today.

Stolen value from offenders in the top 10% is 4X more per event than the average offender.

You've heard of the 80/20 rule: roughly 80% of outcomes come from 20% of inputs. In retail crime, the distribution is even more extreme, with just 10% driving the majority of losses.

These not opportunistic shoplifters. They're professionals operating at scale, driving lopsided loss and violence along the way.

Most asset protection leaders already sense this. The same people of interest show up in report after report. But sensing it and having enough information to act are very different things.

The gap between them isn't a lack of data. It's a lack of helpful, actionable data. We call this Retail Crime Intelligence.

Focusing on the 10% driving the majority of retail shrink is 1 of 10 essential LP strategies for 2026. Read up on the other 9 in our latest article: https://hubs.ly/Q04vfyRF0

How do you evaluate new LP tech when you don't have the bandwidth to manage another tool?

That's one of the questions we're putting to three LP leaders next week: Brian Huff (Boot Barn), Conor Cox (Holt Renfrew), and Orlando Torres (Heritage Grocers), in a live conversation about running lean LP teams.

No pitch deck or big-department assumptions. Just a roundtable conversation on what actually worked for LP leaders of lean teams, including the non-negotiables they look for before adding anything to their tech stack.

In 18 months, Morrisons transformed their approach to store safety from the ground up.

No big budget or shortcuts. Just clear priorities, the right technology, and a willingness to admit what wasn't working.

Morrisons Senior Manager, Crime and Security Hannah Cleary joined Auror UK & Ireland Director of Retail Partnerships Ellen Dick to talk about how Morrisons built a winning security strategy where 30% of investigations now start or expand from an ANPR alert.

To create a dual-layer of defense, Morrisons is trialing Auror Subjection Recognition to improve their strong Risk Detection layer.

Most LP playbooks assume you have a department: analysts, a dedicated investigator, headcount to spare.
What happens when you don't?

On Tuesday, September 1, we're bringing together three LP leaders who don't have big teams, but are getting big results anyway: Brian Huff (Boot Barn), Conor Cox (Holt Renfrew), and Orlando Torres (Heritage Grocers).

They'll talk through:

↩️ What LP looked like before they had systems in place
🔍 How they evaluate new tech without adding headcount
📈 How they measure ROI for their LP departments

If you're running LP with a lean team, this is for you.

The National Law Enforcement and Corporate Crimes Convention is wrapping up here in Arlington, Texas. Michael Konopasek was on site to interview Special Agent Jeff Prater and TXORCA President Hector Leal.

Head of Law Enforcement for the Americas Raul O. Aguilar represented Auror on stage along with leaders from TXORCA, Anchorage Police, and the local comptroller of public accounts on how law enforcement and retailers are solving cross-jurisdictional cases faster.

The conference highlighted how law enforcement is using intelligence to understand the full extent of organized retail crime and how retail crime events are often connected to more serious crimes.

Special agent Jeff Prater of Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center shared how Auror allowed their detectives to link a skimmer fraud suspect to four additional offenses that other agencies were unaware of.

One store event. One ORC investigation. 14 days to an arrest and charges.

A major outdoor retailer's Tualatin location had been hit repeatedly by an offender specifically targeting YETI products after being connected to Nike thefts.

After the investigation was opened, police were brought in as active collaborators. The subject was identified by a local police department's crime analyst.

Two weeks later, the offender was apprehended on a separate charge and then charged with the theft incidents from the outdoor retailer. The evidence built in the investigation also connected them to thefts at a neighboring Nike retail location.

Auror’s Connect the Dots linked six events. The offender has not been seen at the location since.

Speed matters in ORC investigations. The team moved from store event to closed investigation in two weeks because the evidence was built properly from day one and law enforcement was brought in early enough to act.
