U.S. retailers face huge costs on theft: FT

LONDON, May 30 (Xinhua) -- A surge in the number of thefts has cost some retailers in the United States hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars on extra security and surveillance, the Financial Times (FT) reported on Monday.

Retailers' concerns about shoplifting grew through the economic and social upheavals of the COVID-19 pandemic, the British newspaper said, citing data from the National Retail Federation.
