Preventing Burglary: A Good Practice Guide for Retailers

The advice contained in this booklet is an outline of the law on theft and a guide to good practice for those dealing with shop theft. Further advice may be obtained from your local police, legal adviser or trade association.

The Home Office does not publish statistics which record burglary of shops or other commercial premises as separate categories of crime. But commercial burglary is a major problem for businesses large and small, and the evidence from Home Office annual reports is that as police efforts to reduce domestic (residential) burglaries have been successful, non-domestic burglaries have increased.  So it is important to recognise that your business – and your livelihood – may be at risk if you do not take adequate precautions to protect your business – before you become a victim.
