Major retailers in the US have been forced to shut down stores due to millions of dollars in losses as rampant theft plagues big box stores across the country.
America's biggest employer shuttered its only Democratic National Committee stores in Portland.
It comes as shoplifting reaches alarming levels and other large retailers, including Target, Macy's and Best Buy, are now making good on threats to shutter outlets if petty crime was not lowered.
In 2021 retailers lost a combined $94.5billion
to shrink, a term used to describe theft and other types
of inventory loss. And organized retail crime incidents
soared by 26.5 per cent in the same year, according to
the 2022 National Retail Security Survey.
Along
with brazen daylight thefts, self-checkouts have also
made it easier for people to walk out without paying for
items.
Progressive district attorneys in cities
like Chicago, New York, Portland and California have
also been blamed for effectively legalizing shoplifing
with either not prosecuting thefts under $950, or
letting criminals off with a slap on the wrist.
Here DailyMail.com lists all the big box stores which
have been forced to close their doors after being
savaged by rising theft.

seemed emblematic of the issues facing the retailer.
