Police and shop owners plan to tag serial thieves to stop store crimes

Police and shop owners are testing a new plan to put electronic tags on repeat shoplifters to bring back safety in retail stores. This effort comes as shops face a high number of thefts that hurt business owners and workers. Law enforcement groups and major store chains are working together on this project to stop people who steal from shops again and again. Under this plan, known offenders will wear tracking tags so authorities can keep a close eye on their movements near shopping areas. Officials hope this strict step will cut down crime rates and help workers feel safe while doing their jobs.
