Eco Bag Shoplifting
This refers to people putting products into their eco bags and taking them home without paying. Since a charge for plastic bags was introduced in July, the number of incidents involving this shoplifting trick has increased in several areas. Because of Covid-19 many people now wear masks, and this makes it difficult to identify these criminals.
