Episode Details

Edinburghs shoplifting epidemic surpasses official stats, with retailers facing a real crisis. A taskforce reported 3,671 charges and arrests, but Tory politician Miles Briggs warns the issue is worse. Shop owners are frustrated, hiring private security and skipping reports due to slow police responses. Businesses like Scotmid are fighting back with better security measures and smarter store layouts, seeing drops in theft. However, fewer police on the streets under the current government means retailers need more support to combat the issue effectively.
