Shop theft is a major problem for many New Zealand retailers. Recent surveys have estimated the annual cost of shop theft at more than $1.2 Billion (July 2014-2016). This is a price that we all pay through higher prices and lost tax revenue as the government misses out on GST and company tax.
NATIONAL Security can assist retailers in this area by providing highly trained store Detectives who are skilled at identifying and apprehending shoplifters.
In addition, NATIONAL Security can provide retailers with a no-charge Civil Recovery service that allows for a recovery from the offender for costs incurred in the course of the apprehension.
