Do you run a retail store in Whangarei? Do you run a business that sells hundreds of products and merchandise on-site? If this is your bread and butter, it’s very vital to invest in retail security services that protect your shop, products, and store staff.
Shoplifting is a common problem when it comes to retail locations. However, it’s not the only type of crime that troubles most businesses. There are other threats as well, such as:
Pilferage
This can go unnoticed for a long time since the nature of this petty theft is to steal items consistently over time. Active in-store security can spot this type of behaviour.
Looting
In the event of a natural disaster, riot, or unsocial behaviour, mobs will overrun a store and seize goods.
Smash-and-grabs.
This is a high-adrenaline type of robbery where individuals can charge into a store, threaten store staff and run away with merchandise in a matter of seconds.
Armed robbery.
This is something we are all familiar with on the news, an assailant comes in with a gun with a clear intent to rob the cash register.
After-hours retail break-ins.
Thieves wait for closing time to do their burglary.
Vandalism and property damage.
Anyone from the street can simply walk in and start destroying property.
