LOOK: 10 Most Stolen Items At Walmart Stores In Michigan

Walmart Michigan Locations Prime Target For Theft
Shoplifting is a common problem for many retailers and even more so for stores like Walmart with self-checkout options. Though some more tech-enabled stores use cameras at kiosks, self-checkout makes shoplifting much easier, as much of the process is based on the honor system. According to recent reports, Walmart and other retail chains could be rethinking self-checkout lanes due to more shoplifting. Other measures that Walmart has taken to deter thieves include locking up items behind glass security doors. Retail theft has increased so much in recent years, leading many chain stores to close their doors permanently. And there is another major factor in the rise in grocery store thefts.
