Republican Kris Kobach, Kansas’ attorney general, said retail crime is a “spiraling problem” in his state, adding that Kansas and Missouri are among the top 10 states in the nation for volume of retail crime.
“There is a link between drug trafficking and organized retail crime,” Kobach told lawmakers in June.
“Organized retail crime is a problem that is getting worse, not better.
Organized retail crime offers criminals a business model of pure profit, “with no overhead, rent, product cost.
In early June, Kobach testified before a House Judiciary Committee hearing on “Organized Retail Crime and the Threat to Public Safety.”“When one thinks about the explosion of organized retail crime in the United States, the State of Kansas may not intuitively jump to mind,” he told lawmakers.
