New Trick With Tapes
Working in teams, shoplifters in the United States are now employing a new trick. One member of the team enters the store, buys an order of groceries usually consisting of expensive but not perishable items such as canned hams and other delicacies, checks out and pays for the groceries. He then meets his accomplice outside the market, turns over to him the cash register tape. Shortly afterward the second man enters the store, picks up the same items, places them in bags and pro ceeds to walk out at the end of the row of cashiers without paying. If stopped, he merely shows the' cash register tape in his possession which, if examined, will check with the items he has in his bags.
