Shop owners in Tenby, West Wales, have started using AI technology to catch shoplifters after experiencing multiple incidents. The owners took over Tenby Post Office in 2015 and added a convenience shop. In 2020, they moved to a new location and built a joint convenience shop and post office. The shop owners now employ 14 people and sell various items, including food, alcohol, stationery, magazines, and local produce.
