Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Shoplifting: Discussion

Ms Tara Buckley:

What has happened is interaction with the likes of mobile phone stores and big jewellers. They are looking at the organised robbery of high wealth things and where those organised crimes would go. We are incidental because they still come into the town and rob us as well. Because we are low margin businesses what they take when they walk out the door is high worth to us. In the scheme of their robbing it may not be the most expensive stuff they rob but we are hoping that with this crime the operation will work. We will co-operate with the operation but we believe that something else needs to be done about the more incidental robberies and the young thieves.
