Know Them? Name Them! Solution to Shoplifting
With retail theft costing Australian retailers up to $9 billion* a year – costs which are passed on to consumers – Crime Stoppers is asking Tasmanians to help identify those responsible.
In a new initiative with Tasmania Police, Crime Stoppers is seeking to support police investigations by identifying suspected shoplifters, asking the public to come forward with the names of the offenders.
Images, video and information are being shared to the community via the Crime Stoppers Facebook page and website.
In just 9 weeks, our great Crime Stoppers community across Tasmania, has helped to identify 15 of the 24 suspects we have been seeking. That’s 66% known and named! Thank you to our anonymous tipsters! As a result, Tasmania Police investigations have led to several offenders charged and are ongoing.
Shoplifting costs all of us in the end, because the losses are eventually passed on to the consumer.
Support our program for a safer Tasmania!
