The rise of organized retail crime will be front and center at a Tuesday congressional hearing amid the end-of-year holiday shopping boom.
The House Homeland Security Committee’s Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence is holding a hearing titled "From
Festive Cheer to Retail Fear: Addressing Organized Retail Crime."
Among the witnesses expected to testify are representatives from Home
Depot and the National Retail Federation, according to a witness list previewed by Fox News Digital.
On the government side, lawmakers will hear from Homeland Security
officials in the Secret Service as well as Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Subcommittee Chair August Pfluger, R-Texas, blamed "soft-on-crime
policies" for the problematic trend in a statement announcing the hearing.
"By putting criminals over communities, families, and small business
owners, hardworking Americans across the country are being forced to pay
the financial and emotional costs of these failed policies," Pfluger said.
"Amid an unprecedented spike in retail crime, reports also suggest many professional shoplifters or boosters are part of a much larger
organization of criminals — including transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) that are taking advantage of our open borders," he added.
Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., the top Democrat on the panel, said in a statement, "Organized retail crime endangers small businesses, workers,
and consumers."
It comes as big cities like Washington, D.C., and New York City deal with rising retail theft issues.
Big chain stores in those cities like CVS and others have been forced to
lock up merchandise behind plastic barriers to keep them from being stolen off the shelves.
A recent survey by the National Retail Federation found that 70% of
retailers believe organized retail theft has become a more prevalent issue
in recent years.

Exactly. Put them all down permanently when they exit the business. Hunt them with swarms of armed drones if need be. These kinds of people cannot
be rehabilitated.
This all started with Obama, Eric Holder and the nutjobs who put them in position to cause all this social disorder and damage to a great country.

That is how Giuliani cleaned up NYC.
Stiff penalties for crime and a very high conviction rate.
Do the crime and you will do the time.
It didn't take long for the word to get around in the gang communities and they took their crime
elsewhere thus NYC became one of, if not the safest large city on the planet.
Sadly these days Rudy has had the wheels come off the short bus.

Sadly these days Rudy has had the wheels come off the short bus.
For example Times Square was loaded with porn stores, theaters and hookers. >>Rudy cleaned all that up.
Was Dinkins kicked that off. Giuliani kept with the program but it was Dinkins got the
ball rolling.
Bloomberg left it alone and the good continued.
Enter Bill DeBlasio and he abolished most of the policies that kept NYC safe and now it is once
again a crap trap.
That's a lie commonly told in right wing media. The crime rates in NYC are surprisingly
low for a major metro area and NYS also enjoys very little crime.
Anyone thinking of visiting NYC for the holidays do yourself a favor and don't.
Better there than New Orleans or St Louis.
