    In one store, he says one in four customers were stealing something before the technology was rolled out.

    So far, more surveillance has not stopped shoplifting. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show retail theft rose by 22pc in the year to September.

    If 1 in 4 people are stealing then there’s some major problems going on. I really wish they’d mention what products are getting stolen.

      Baby formula, laundry detergent, and food I bet.

      Inb4 someone claims that all of that being stolen is being used to make drugs somehow.
