New Regional Group Formed to Combat Retail Theft

The head of the Retail Merchants Association of New Hampshire says a new organized retail crime alliance in the region is a big help in allowing members to communicate and share information about crimes.

Nancy Kyle in Concord says a website designed for the New England Law Enforcement and Retailers will save the information in a written and mapped format, giving members the ability to search the website and look for patterns and trends in other cases.

The alliance was formed after law enforcement and corporate retail partners throughout New England realized the need to combine efforts to fight the growing problem of organized retail crime.
