German stores face billion-dollar thefts

Retail stores in Germany recorded historic losses of 5.11 billion euros in 2025, due to increasing theft incidents valued at over 4.3 billion euros, including approximately 3.05 billion resulting from customer thefts. A significant portion of these losses is attributed to organized criminal gangs targeting high-value products, amidst rising economic pressures and inflation that have increased living costs and influenced some consumers' behaviors. Stores are facing high security costs, estimated at around 3.3 billion euros annually, alongside calls to strengthen security measures and for more effective responses from authorities to combat this phenomenon.
