21 Aug 2023 --- Co-op is extending its trial of anti-theft “dummy display packaging” for targeted products on its shelves to deter rising levels of crime driven by prolific and persistent offenders and local organized criminal gangs. The packaging will be used across higher value products that the supermarket chain says are frequently targeted by criminals for resale in other local stores. Products include coffee, washing powder and laundry gel, with shoppers taking the dummy display case to the till, where it is exchanged for the real product.
