Organized Retail Crime (ORC) is a major issue for Walmart and a growing problem for the nation. ORC involves sophisticated crime rings, who will dispatch thieves to several stores a day to steal specific items and then take those items and sell them, usually on the Internet. They also endanger our associates in a number of ways, from dangerous diversions to outright threats.
Current legislation introduced by Congressman Brad Ellsworth (D-IN), Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA), and Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) that will focus on this crime, specifically related to greater accountability among online Internet auction sites. Walmart is a founding member of a broad coalition of retailers — including Target, Safeway and Home Depot — that is focused on tackling this problem. The Coalition Against Retail Crime will bring attention to this growing challenge and will work with policy makers in crafting and passing legislation that will help stop this criminal activity.
