Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum is calling on Congress to pass legislation to combat the rising trend of retail crime across the country. In a recent statement, Rosenblum expressed concern over the growing “retail crime epidemic” that has been impacting businesses and communities nationwide.
Rosenblum emphasized the need for federal action to address this issue, citing the increase in organized retail crime rings and brazen theft incidents that have been occurring across the country. She highlighted the impact of these crimes on businesses, employees, consumers, and communities, calling for a coordinated effort to combat this growing problem.
The Attorney General’s plea comes as retailers across the country continue to grapple with a surge in theft and organized crime activity. In Oregon, incidents of retail theft have been on the rise, with retailers reporting significant losses due to shoplifting and organized crime rings targeting their stores.
Rosenblum is now urging Congress to take action by passing legislation that would strengthen penalties for individuals involved in organized retail crime, provide resources for law enforcement to combat these crimes, and enhance collaboration between federal agencies and local law enforcement.
In her statement, Rosenblum called for a multi-faceted approach to address the root causes of retail crime, including economic inequality, addiction, and other contributing factors. She stressed the importance of addressing these underlying issues in order to effectively combat the rise of organized retail crime across the country.
As retailers continue to grapple with the impact of these crimes on their businesses and communities, Rosenblum’s call for federal action underscores the urgent need for a coordinated effort to address the growing “retail crime epidemic” facing the nation.
