“With Auror, we were able to identify offenders, gather evidence and share it with police.” Great to see the work of retailers like Greggs and bp highlighted - using Auror to address rising retail crime in Scotland and make their stores safer. They share how they’ve turned events into actionable intelligence, from supporting police to arrest a handful of offenders causing over 80% of crime in one of their stores, to connecting the dots on a highly active and violent offender linked to over 50 incidents. Strong collaboration between retailers and law enforcement is key to achieving our shared mission to reduce violent retail crime by 50% in the next 5 years. 👉 Read the Daily Mail story here: https://lnkd.in/grywxiyg #RetailCrime #RetailSafety #50in5

Retailers are facing a new kind of threat. While overall violent crime is trending down, retail violence continues to rise — with offenders using aggression as a tactic to escape quickly. Phil Thomson, Auror Co-founder & CEO, explains why the shift matters and how technology can help teams prevent harm before it happens. Auror Subject Recognition is built to address this shift. It's situational intelligence that alerts your teams to known, high-risk individuals before harm can happen, so they can respond safely.

$296K in loss across 175 events ends in arrest of an aggressive retail offender. The prolific offender was impacting several retailers across Victoria, Australia and was linked to multiple counts of aggressive behavior, harassment, and drug use, posing a significant risk to both staff and customer safety. This person was identified through clear photos on Auror and arrested while attempting to steal through concealment. The arrest was a direct result of high-quality intelligence connecting this person's widespread offending. For multi-store retailers, this is a powerful example of why an intelligence network is key to moving beyond single-store incidents and stopping the organized, repeat offenders who cause the most significant harm to your profit and your people.

How do you prepare store teams to known, high-risk threats? It's not just about setting up alerts. It's about the intelligence that comes with them. As Phil Thomson explained in our recent webinar, knowing a person's history of violence before they act changes the entire response. Auror Subject Recognition delivers this critical intelligence in real-time. It pairs the detection with verified intel, empowering teams to make the right calls to keep everyone safe.

Devon and Cornwall Police has been working hard to address high volume retail crime, and was the first UK police force to use Auror’s Direct-to-Police reporting functionality 12 months ago. In that time, they have achieved key efficiencies for reports via Auror, compared to other reporting channels such as single online home (SOH) and 101 reports. 🚔9.4% higher criminal charge rate. 📃47 hrs faster on average for police to record reports. 🤝Only 3.6% of victims don’t want further police action, vs 16.6% for other reporting channels. These results have been attributed to the higher quality evidence, faster sharing of intelligence and greater visibility of repeat offenders through Auror. 🔗https://lnkd.in/g-nWNstC #LawEnforcement #SaferStores #Policing #RetailCrime #TacklingRetailCrimeTogether

A repeat offender responsible for a crime spree impacting 17 different stores across South England has been arrested. This individual was linked to 20 separate events, starting with a skincare theft. Because that first report in Auror included high-quality images and descriptions, it became the key to connecting the dots. As the person moved to other locations, store teams consistently reported each event. This allowed Auror's intelligence to link all 20 events, reveal the full scale of the offending, and provide police with the evidence needed for a successful arrest. This is a powerful outcome showing how consistent, high-quality reporting by store teams on a single platform stops repeat offenders. Great work by everyone involved! 👏 Outcome overview: 🇬🇧 Region: United Kingdom 🧑⚖️ Outcome: Repeat offender arrested and sentenced to 18 months in prison 💰 Impact: Connected to £25K in value across 20 events 🔍 Key solution: Auror Intel #retailcrime #lossprevention #saferstores

A 12-week initial phase across Morrisons' Midlands stores helped triple the value of organized retail crime reports - making it easier and faster to share high-quality evidence with police. This partnership is another powerful step toward reducing retail crime and violence, and creating safer communities for everyone. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gHjK2Qn2 #RetailCrime #SaferStores #50in5
