Police have charged five individuals and are searching for two more in a fraud investigation where AI tools were used to target retail locations in the Greater Toronto Area. The suspects employed smart glasses and distraction techniques to steal login information from employees, which was then used to load funds onto gift cards through self-checkout kiosks.

Video from the home's Ring camera shows the man at the front door, initially asking to be let in before becoming increasingly aggressive. 'Open this f-king door. Where's your daughter, man?' he can be heard shouting, kicking the door and demanding entry.

"I've directed the LAPD to strategically deploy resources along Ventura Boulevard and to continue making this area a priority by holding these criminals accountable."

This crackdown has seen drugs, weapons and dangerous illegal e-bikes taken off the streets. We know these offences are ones that our communities care about, and they want to see officers taking robust action.

Surveillance images released by police show a man and woman wanted in connection with a petit larceny at the Street Talk Kiosk inside Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove.

The teenager stole cosmetic products from Boots branches in Westminster, Lambeth, Camden and Kensington and Chelsea, as well as Holland & Barrett stores in Hammersmith and Fulham and in Camden.

Walgreens has launched a new pilot program at select New York locations that will allow some employees to wear body-worn cameras while working in the store. The cameras are voluntary for employees and are intended to help improve safety for both workers and customers. The company believes the presence of body cameras could help prevent tense situations from escalating.

She said people "just couldn't believe" cars were being broken into just for the shelves. The Met Police opened an investigation following a number of parcel shelves being stolen from cars in Hampstead and Highgate, the force said. Sam Phipps Phipps told BBC Radio London her car was targeted despite only having her gym bag, out of sight, in the boot.

According to former burglar turned security consultant Michael Fraser, who spent years breaking into homes before turning his life around, these seemingly innocent habits are exactly what professionals look for. "Most people have no idea they're broadcasting an empty house," he told me during a recent interview. "They think they're being careful, but they're actually creating a roadmap." After speaking with several security experts and reformed burglars, I discovered that the things we do without thinking often create the perfect opportunity for break-ins.

Newly released surveillance video shows how one of several overnight store robberies unfolded, and investigators say the same group may be behind all of them. The video obtained by News 12 comes from a store at 125 Kingston Ave. It shows two masked men walking up to the counter. One holds out a plastic bag, pointing it like a gun. The worker opens the register and places cash into an open bag.

Nassau County police said 19-year-old Springfield Gardens resident Jahkeli Mason and 36-year-old St. Albans resident Darren Gordon walked into the Target off Sunrise Highway and started putting items from the store in a shopping cart. After putting things in the cart, police said the men walked out the exits to the store without paying.

The 17-year-old is alleged to have brazenly swiped cosmetic products from the shelves in dozens of raids on the London branches of the high street giant over the last two years. It is said he was caught on CCTV repeatedly loading a bag with items before walking out without paying. The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has been charged with 53 counts of shoplifting from Boots, as well as four allegations of shoplifting at Holland and Barrett.

We are having real success tackling the crimes that terrorise communities. But the crimes that tear at the fabric of communities, like shop theft and shop robbery, continue to rise and we must do more. That is why we are putting 13,000 more neighbourhood officers on the beat, and have invested 2 billion more in forces across the country since we took office.
