Organised chocolate theft in supermarkets and convenience stores has resulted in retailers around the UK implementing additional measures to safeguard chocolate products. Popular brands of chocolate have started to be put in anti-theft security boxes which are typically used for more expensive articles such as electronics or high-value items. Experts in the retail business think some items are being singled out because they can be easily hidden away and re-sold quickly. The burgeoning trend has raised concerns regarding increased retail crime, securing stores and the effects on financial stability for businesses. The public security measures are a stark reminder of what retailers face when it comes to security protection for normal retail items.
