Incidents of alleged shoplifting

 

2 February 2019

 

We are sorry that this happened to our customer and believe that such cases must be treated with utmost care and regard for respect. The matter is being investigated and if it is found that it was mismanaged, stern action will be taken. 

Shoplifting is an ongoing challenge in the retail industry through which vasts amounts of money is annually lost, placing the success of businesses and job security of millions of people at risk. All incidences of alleged unpaid for items leaving our stores must unfortunately be investigated and our stance is do this without discrimination against race or stature in society. 

The SAPS are always involved to investigate such cases and for the law to take its course, and we cannot comment on their further processes.
