shoplift

According to the original complaint, Brentwood police were sent to Ulta Beauty Supply, a cosmetics store, on Feb. 10, 2020, after an employee reported that three women had shoplifted several items.

"A black market has sprung up for infant milk, and it is one of the most commonly shoplifted items," he said.

An ex-police sergeant who was banned from every Morrisons store in the UK after being wrongly accused of shoplifting has called for an apology.

And it hits a nerve in Los Angeles, where certain supermarket aisles are now locked up, shoplifting has increased and people openly use drugs.

The Home Office said it was making assaults on shopworkers a criminal offence and deploying "thousands" of police officers dedicated to tackling shoplifting.
