Two men from New York recently traveled South and went on what police said was an illegal shopping spree at northeast Georgia Walmart stores. “That is three Walmarts we know they hit right in a row,” said Franco, who described this form of shoplifting as “ORC” or organized retail crime. He is often consulted by other agencies and loss prevention officers at several large retail stores in regards to such crimes. Organized shoplifting is a serious problem at retail stores across the nation, according to Franco. Forbes magazine reported four months ago that organized retail crime "is running rampant" across the nation.
