  • Summary

  • The big picture

    The FBI views organized retail crime as part of broader organized crime efforts, and focuses on dismantling entire criminal organizations.

    By the numbers

    • $112 billion in retail shrink reported in 2022

    Key challenges

    Key challenges include international criminal groups engaging in "crime tourism", cyber-enabled fraud in cargo theft, and criminals exploiting jurisdictional boundaries.

    A recent case in Dallas led to 101 indictments, significantly reducing cell phone store robberies in the area.

    Bottom line

    While organized retail crime remains a significant challenge, the FBI's thorough approach aims for long-lasting impact through comprehensive investigations and dismantling of criminal networks.

    Retail's Most Wanted is presented by LVT and the Attorney General Alliance.
