Tesco unveils high tech cases to hide booze from shoplifters
TESCO has started locking entire shelves of booze in high-tech cabinets that have to be unlocked using touchscreens.
Bottles caged behind the locked shelves were also electronically tagged for extra protection, as customers have begun branding the security measures as a “new norm”.said it has been trialling a new cabinet for spirits and sparkling wine in a very small number of large stores, as an additional security measure to help reduce theft.
Popular brands including Smirnoff Vodka and Tanqueray Gin were filmed behind locked shelves by one punter, who posted the footage on: “Society only has itself to blame for this. Will become the norm so long as shoplifting continues to be widespread.”: “Much of this is because self service tills lanes have made it easier to steal. .. just walk in and walk out. This is cheaper than paying more staff.
Ministers have vowed to tackle low-level shoplifting, which will ensure police officers investigate crimes even when the stolen goods are worth less than £200.
