SHOPLIFTING MENACE
BIG LOSSES IN ENGLAND. London, March 3. Thousands of pounds are being lost every year by big stores in this country through the plunderings of shoplifters. It has been revealed that shoplifting has increased to such an extent in the past two or three years that the managements of many of the huge shopping centres in London and the provinces are at their wits’ end to know how to deal with the menace. Inquiries at one big West End store disclosed the fact that more than £5OOO has been lost in the past 12 months through stolen goods. Another store put its losses through shoplifters in the ■ same period at about £3500. Throughout the country,- it is estimated, the losses every year total more than £50,000.
