Winnipeg business owners coping with increased theft, crime
Both Ramberran and Zeid say they’re encouraged by police efforts to crack down on retail theft through a new initiative that has seen hundreds of arrests since its November 2023 launch.
The initiative — launched in partnership with the Retail Council of Canada and the city’s business community — is in response to a reported 44 per cent year-over-year increase in shoplifting incidents for items under $5,000.
