Most countries in Europe allow security staff and in many cases regular staff to use less lethal weapons to defend themselves and even property. So if you did something like this in Austria or Italy you would just get yourself pepper sprayed.
What'd they expect when they decided to go soft on crime and start giving sympathy to criminals instead of victims of crime. I'm sure the same will be happening in the US and any other country to go this stupid.
Already happening here. Look at New York, Detroit, Seattle the list goes on. In Baltimore we had kids 13 years old stealing cars daily and being let out. One kid did it around 15+ times within two or so months. Its crazy.
I encourage the UK should protect their shops that these criminals don't have any access not to collect items without paying it is a criminal offence UK must not tolerate anymore
They wouldn't be targetting the low-street-value stuff shown here. They'd be hitting the nicer clothing shops, consumer electronics and such. Could get a few grand, if you're remotely competent, I'd expect.

@OhYouInternet the barcodes on the products will tell you which store they are from and that they haven't been purchased but stolen. That's the whole point of a bar code.
There is clearly no proper deterrent from stopping those from shoplifting and those who do shoplift clearly know this. I have a family member who works in retail and they got punched in the face all because they were trying to apprehend a shop lifter. Luckily all they ended up with was a bruise and it wasn't much worse. The police couldn't do anything because they weren't concussed and the amount taken didn't exceed a certain amount. Even though this person made off with quite a sizeable haul. The same person was also seen walking out of another store having stolen from there and there was no one to stop them.
My son was threatened with a knife at the shop he works for. It affected him a lot. He was supported by work and the police but the lack of proactive measures by the stores and police are making this a serious issue for the safety of staff and customers.
We have nothing on this scale in my town but most shops let the thieves walk out brazenly. Waitrose is the worst! Middle aged,over made-up, crinkle bosomed women. They fill their baskets with high value goods and plenty of booze and just saunter past the horrified and furious customers while the very young staff stand around dithering.

@@leone1995 depends on where and how you live - but people here care about family, utility bills aren’t approaching 1/3 of a monthly wage like the UK, it’s easy to get hold of medicines, the whole outlook on life is healthier here, even though people have less, until you leave the UL you really don’t realise what a miserable place it is and how that group misery affects you. You can say I’m wrong, but there’s only 1 country out of the two where I’ve been robbed, had to wait 2 months to see a dentist, had to restrict my spending and feel unsafe at night, and it’s not Brazil.
my local supermarket is robbed daily ,shoppers brazenly walk out wth huge trolley loads of goods . But each time the alarm goes off and the public expect them to be arrested .The staff just don't do anything, because they say the police say ..what do you expect us today about it .?
Yep always seems to be Romanians doing this also same with when the go to buy cars come in a gang and unplug things and make you’re car smoke then offer you low money for the car as they convince you it’s broken and worth nothing they especially target elderly people selling cars… disgusting really.. but many get away with it….
The big difference is that on the continent just about every country allows it's security staff and often ordinary members of staff to carry and use non lethal weapons like pepper spray. In central and Eastern Europe Security staff carry guns and knives. As such it's a lot lot less fun trying to fight your way out of a store.
Can confirm, in Germany and Spain in the 90s anyway bank security guards carried revolvers, and in Austria most late night petrol station staff had a (legal) firearm under the counter.
The staff can’t chase them or touch them unless they want to face charges from the criminals and the security staff are equally powerless. Nothing anybody can do about it.
Conservatives - we have messed up this country but please vote for us because we know what we should have done to fix it so if you give us the chance we will finally fix it.
It's reflective of the mindset of the society . The Foundations of the Society are weak . You won't let your mobile phone out of your sight but your children what are they up to ,they stay out late at night you don't bother .
8000 extra officers is laughable. Spread across the country it means absolutely nothing! Put a nought on that and then there might be an extra couple of officers in most stations to actually go out. This problem started many years ago.

In my days we always responded to shoplifting on blue lights, this should still be the case. By not reacting we are giving the criminals a green light to go-ahead and steal.
Could the airport checking the bags demand receipts for products of large quantity and if they fail seize the goods and log it on a system the retailer can use if they reported the shoplift that day etc
Police budgets cut by 1/3 under Tory austerity. Photograph and film the assailants before releasing them if the police don't turn up. Store managers should write to their MPs for each non show by the police.
That's not the reason at all. If there are criminals coming from France, French people don't even need to get a visa to enter the UK. Same vice versa They're coming because they know they can get away with doing crime here. That's because the police and justice system have no funding
when captured should be sentenced then deported and lifetime ban on entering the uk.wheres the police in the uk, wheres the police stations that are still open ?
Around here they'd deserve a medal for finding a shop with anything worth stealing. Between the poundworlds, charity stores, vape outlets & dodgy looking phone repair places, there isnt much else.
C'mon now. Nobody will go to jail for the Post Office Scandal. They are rich executives with fancy lawyers and connections to politicians. They will get a slap on the wrist and walk straight into another high paying job.
the problem is the absence of self-defense laws. the abiding citizen is punished for defending themselves whilst criminals go about their business knowing the balance of punishment/crime is acceptable. and its not shoplifting , its pick pocketing, car and bike theft, tool theft in particular.
Channels: International gangs are shoplifting. Also channels: blurs their faces. You are part of the problem. What exactly are you protecting confirmed criminals from?
They are not flying in, this has been going on for years. The shoplifters in the area I live take orders, always have. The Police know who they are but they never get jailed. Just slaps on the wrist.
Here is an idea, why not everyone start shoplifting in protest against the lack of prosecutions for theft If the property is returned intact, it's not technically theft. Why should we obey a law that is never enforced?
Have you ever seen a security guard in Home Bargains ? They can open a new shop every week ,make millions of pounds every year but won't put a security guard in store . I've been sacked from work for beating up two shoplifters from Sainsbury's . They don't put a guard in the Local in the morning ,only in the evenings .If you feel morally obliged to stop shoplifters they just challenge them verbally ,call a manager ,but if you don't let them Rob the shop empty .
Fascinating. If this had been simply a news report without images of suspects or a podcast, people would be responding with typical prejudice and bile.
Only in the UK could you commit a violent crime and be almost guaranteed to get away with it. But if you do 23 in London or take a cheeky left will you end up with a court summons and massive fine through your door.
Why should the government pay for guarding a shop? Think about it - everyone is complaining how private businesses are making money on the backs of the people. A supermarket is a private business. If they want more security, why should we pay for it? This is a problem that supermarkets should solve, not us. The government needs to increase police but not to protect supermarket, to protect the public. Daylight robberies are now common.
What is the solution? I've seen airlock entrances on shops in South Africa, shops in Malaysia guarded by guys with giant shotguns (I sound like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner!). I don't want to live in a fortress.

@@allykhan8594 I live in a city called Belem, on the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest 🤗
@@SFRZRD you are wrong .... There is a lot of poverty and crime in Brasil .... AND I AM BRASILIAN ..... WORST WAY WORST
@@SFRZRD sounds nice. Crime is meant to be high there, but i am sure types and nature of crime is different. Enjoy. 😁
@@leone1995 depends on where and how you live - but people here care about family, utility bills aren’t approaching 1/3 of a monthly wage like the UK, it’s easy to get hold of medicines, the whole outlook on life is healthier here, even though people have less, until you leave the UL you really don’t realise what a miserable place it is and how that group misery affects you. You can say I’m wrong, but there’s only 1 country out of the two where I’ve been robbed, had to wait 2 months to see a dentist, had to restrict my spending and feel unsafe at night, and it’s not Brazil.
my local supermarket is robbed daily ,shoppers brazenly walk out wth huge trolley loads of goods . But each time the alarm goes off and the public expect them to be arrested .The staff just don't do anything, because they say the police say ..what do you expect us today about it .?
How do they get thru customs wtf are they lying about this
How do you continue to inbreed don't you have enough physical deformities
Poilce are more interested in protests
And supporting terrorists.
This makes no sense where do they take it.. in planessss??!!!! To where... thus makes no sense
if there are more than 10 Romanians in the area, you better be careful.
Yep always seems to be Romanians doing this also same with when the go to buy cars come in a gang and unplug things and make you’re car smoke then offer you low money for the car as they convince you it’s broken and worth nothing they especially target elderly people selling cars… disgusting really.. but many get away with it….
The big difference is that on the continent just about every country allows it's security staff and often ordinary members of staff to carry and use non lethal weapons like pepper spray. In central and Eastern Europe Security staff carry guns and knives. As such it's a lot lot less fun trying to fight your way out of a store.
Can confirm, in Germany and Spain in the 90s anyway bank security guards carried revolvers, and in Austria most late night petrol station staff had a (legal) firearm under the counter.
They are told not to stop them.
Shoplifting is a drop in the ocean compared to wage theft.
👏
Employee theft far exceeds wage theft
How about how much the Tories have stolen out of the public purse?
And bank theft.
The staff can’t chase them or touch them unless they want to face charges from the criminals and the security staff are equally powerless.
Nothing anybody can do about it.
Simple solution. Filipino jail system.
whats that like?
Google it. In one of our 2 person jail cells they'd fit 30.
@50_Pence .......... simpler solution - GIANT human sized food blender
Sunak is a war criminal so is Starmer. ❤
What war??
Why are they blanking their faces?
Conservatives - we have messed up this country but please vote for us because we know what we should have done to fix it so if you give us the chance we will finally fix it.
It's reflective of the mindset of the society . The Foundations of the Society are weak . You won't let your mobile phone out of your sight but your children what are they up to ,they stay out late at night you don't bother .
But poor rishi never had sky tv is more important
'Dad, can we get SKY'.........
'Sorry son, I tried everything, but Rupert Murdoch won't sell'
We are so soft here in Britain, letting these foreign criminals come in and commit these offences is horrific.
why do they blur their faces? can smn explain?
They're only "suspected" machete wielding shoplifters - caught on film wielding machetes while shoplifting.
Blame the justice system. Even if you do catch them, 3 weeks in jail….pathetic
8000 extra officers is laughable. Spread across the country it means absolutely nothing! Put a nought on that and then there might be an extra couple of officers in most stations to actually go out. This problem started many years ago.
British values?
Diversity is ruinous.
Lol yeh local crackheads usually as where my daughter works has to be over 300 these crackheads will walk in take what they want walk out 2 times a day can't say nothing they will come back with knife not worth ur life

Stop letting them in ! Close the gates
In my days we always responded to shoplifting on blue lights, this should still be the case. By not reacting we are giving the criminals a green light to go-ahead and steal.
Doesn't the cost of flight and getting the goods back make it way more difficult?
Could the airport checking the bags demand receipts for products of large quantity and if they fail seize the goods and log it on a system the retailer can use if they reported the shoplift that day etc
Stop sending money to Ukraine, instead use the money for national security?
Ukraine funds are nothing and bring the UK more benefit returns per pound that most spending.
We spent more on track and trace than on Ukraine.

The Gov is responsible for this lawless society
Since 1997
They’ve been doing it for years….
People pointed it out but were accused of being waay cist 🙄
Police budgets cut by 1/3 under Tory austerity.
Photograph and film the assailants before releasing them if the police don't turn up. Store managers should write to their MPs for each non show by the police.
It's funny how the real reason for this is never mentioned in name - open borders.
N
That's not the reason at all. If there are criminals coming from France, French people don't even need to get a visa to enter the UK. Same vice versa
They're coming because they know they can get away with doing crime here. That's because the police and justice system have no funding
@@horvathr95 but you feel so excited saying that. Loser behaviour
So vote reform uk
when captured should be sentenced then deported and lifetime ban on entering the uk.wheres the police in the uk, wheres the police stations that are still open ?
There needs to be extremely strong consequences for crimes in the UK. My goodness
Blame the woke police and soft political leaders and vote reform 🇬🇧
....Africans ....we all know . . . .!!!!!
The police focus on hurty words on social media.
Around here they'd deserve a medal for finding a shop with anything worth stealing. Between the poundworlds, charity stores, vape outlets & dodgy looking phone repair places, there isnt much else.
I hope they do jail time along with those in the post office scandal. Are they not the same 🤔
C'mon now. Nobody will go to jail for the Post Office Scandal. They are rich executives with fancy lawyers and connections to politicians. They will get a slap on the wrist and walk straight into another high paying job.
the problem is the absence of self-defense laws. the abiding citizen is punished for defending themselves whilst criminals go about their business knowing the balance of punishment/crime is acceptable. and its not shoplifting , its pick pocketing, car and bike theft, tool theft in particular.
The blonde that attacked one of the EMPs on muslim migration problem is now terribly concerned about the theft crime. Hypocrisy at its best, I'd say.
its europeans christians stealing not muslims.
Channels: International gangs are shoplifting.
Also channels: blurs their faces.
You are part of the problem. What exactly are you protecting confirmed criminals from?
The shops needs to install secure doors, and block the thieves inside the shop till the police arives.
My local m and s has the same shoplifters every day stealing high value goods. It's on an industrial scale.
They are not flying in, this has been going on for years. The shoplifters in the area I live take orders, always have. The Police know who they are but they never get jailed. Just slaps on the wrist.
That co-op clip looked like standard youths, not an international gang. Grim.
Your mobile phones are more precious than your children.
Vote Reform
Cutting internal budget yet they have money to send to Ukraine and Israeli . Security is the main thing that makes a country marketable to tourists.
Here is an idea, why not everyone start shoplifting in protest against the lack of prosecutions for theft
If the property is returned intact, it's not technically theft.
Why should we obey a law that is never enforced?
Have you ever seen a security guard in Home Bargains ? They can open a new shop every week ,make millions of pounds every year but won't put a security guard in store . I've been sacked from work for beating up two shoplifters from Sainsbury's . They don't put a guard in the Local in the morning ,only in the evenings .If you feel morally obliged to stop shoplifters they just challenge them verbally ,call a manager ,but if you don't let them Rob the shop empty .
Fascinating. If this had been simply a news report without images of suspects or a podcast, people would be responding with typical prejudice and bile.
Noddys always look terrible and false. "Stand here while I pretend to be listening."
Its not about foreign its about the law
Diversity IS ruinous though
The signal right now is that thieves can get away with it. That signal needs to changed to stiff prison sentences (and deportation whenever possible).
Only in the UK could you commit a violent crime and be almost guaranteed to get away with it. But if you do 23 in London or take a cheeky left will you end up with a court summons and massive fine through your door.
Why should the government pay for guarding a shop? Think about it - everyone is complaining how private businesses are making money on the backs of the people. A supermarket is a private business. If they want more security, why should we pay for it? This is a problem that supermarkets should solve, not us. The government needs to increase police but not to protect supermarket, to protect the public. Daylight robberies are now common.
Bullshit 😂 why would someone spend a furtune to still few bottles of alcohol and box of condoms lol😅
Police to streched bothering folks on there waiy to work, cost of living crisis and every single company i look up are making record profits
I presume those who fly in to rob are stealing small, high value items and hoping customs doesn't stop them ?
What is the solution? I've seen airlock entrances on shops in South Africa, shops in Malaysia guarded by guys with giant shotguns (I sound like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner!). I don't want to live in a fortress.
Every decent sized store should hire two big men as security with all the powers they need to seize criminals.
Shame on mayor who heads the police and encourages this behaviour.
The police are arresting but the criminals are not punished as the laws don't keep them in jail. Just disturbing to say the least.
