Simple
The Simple bagging tactic is when a shoplifter
surreptitiously hides an item inside a bag that they have brought into
the store (for example, a shopping bag from another store or a purse).
A
more complicated method of bagging would need the shoplifter to have an
empty dvd case, an active security tag and a bag from another shop. The
method is, for when the shoplifter enters a major entertainment store,
he will set off the alarm with his active security tag in his pocket.
Security will know he has not shoplifted anything because he has just
entered the store. The shoplifter will have in his bag an empty case
shoplifted from a place like Gamestation, where they only have empty
cases on display. The bag the shoplifter is carrying will say GAME or
HMV or anything different to where the shoplifter is stealing from.
Security will think shoplifter bought a game, DVD etc. from that store
and is setting the store's sensor off with that security tag on his DVD,
which is known as tag pollution in the Retail Loss Prevention community
and happens normally. Using sleight of hand, the shoplifter will swap
the empty case in his bag with a real DVD case. When he leaves, security
will just think its the same tag that set it off when he entered the
store. This technique requires the shoplifter to have an active security
tag in his pocket, a bag with a store name on it that sells DVDs etc.,
and an empty case, usually shoplifted from a store with empty cases. If
security stop him as the alarm goes off, shoplifter's excuse will be
that the alarm went off when he walked in and naturally goes off when he
will leave, and when they check him and only see one DVD or CD etc.,
they will let him go. |
