Crimestoppers Warn On Shoplifting

Jackson Hole Crimestoppers is warning area business owners to be wary of shoplifting during the busy pre-Christmas shopping season. Shoplifting during the holidays is a $6-billion problem for retailers nationwide. With the shopping season upon us now, Crimestoppers advises the first line of defense is good customer service. Greet the customers and walk the floor regularly. If would-be thieves know their presence is noticed, they are less likely to act. Keep commonly shoplifted items in a highly visible area. If you suspect someone may be shoplifting, never accuse him; rather ask if you can help him or ring him up. Communicate with neighboring business owners about any suspicious behaviors you or they have seen.  Of course, any such suspicious behavior should be reported to local authorities at 733-2331.
