Taos shoplifters target holiday shoppers volume high
Taos merchants say Christmas season boosts shoplifting with estimates from 15 to 25 percent of goods unrecorded. A Taos Penney’s manager cites half of annual losses occurring in six weeks around Christmas. Adults, often married and in their twenties, account for most thefts, with youths taking small items. Firms rely on increased staff and customer service to deter theft, while losses raise prices and affect workers in profit sharing.
