As retailers continue to suffer from organized theft, Gov. Hochul lays out a $45 million plan to assure merchants that Albany is not tone deaf to ongoing issue.
It used to be exorbitant rents that would wipe out mom and pop shops. However, now it's a double-edged sword: crime.New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a $45 million anti-theft plan on Tuesday to assure merchants that Albany is not tone deaf to retail theft.
Within that proposed plan, $25 million will be dedicated to a retail theft unit within the state police, $15 million for district attorneys and $5 million to help businesses with security. "The lawlessness, the chaos that is going on in our stores, in our communities, all over the State of New York, it must stop," said Gov. Hochul during a rally on Tuesday.
One Bravo Supermarket in the Bronx is among the many shops hemorrhaging thousands of dollars a month from theft.Several months ago, Frias says a woman came in with a baby stroller, and filled it with logs of salami which run $20 a pop and ran out.As a result, he now keeps the salami behind the deli case, but he can't lock up all the items and he can't keep feeding the shoplifters.
