Tesco introduces anti-shoplifting measures; shoppers skeptical

Tesco has introduced new anti-shoplifting plastic strips in its stores, designed to deter theft. These strips can slide freely, allowing customers to access products easily, but shoppers have questioned their effectiveness against thieves. Critics on social media have expressed doubts about how the strips will prevent shoplifting, suggesting that they may not deter determined criminals. Some shoppers argue that thieves will simply break the strips or take longer to steal items. In response to rising retail crime, Tesco is investing millions in security measures, including body cameras for staff and more security tags. Recent statistics show a significant increase in theft cases, with many going unsolved.
