Whole Foods Market is officially closing its Capitol Hill location at Madison and Broadway on June 20, 2025. The two-story, 40,000-square-foot store opened in October 2018, but the company cites limited performance and growth potential as reasons for the closure.Located at the base of the Danforth apartment building, the store had been a central part of the neighborhood's grocery options. A Whole Foods spokesperson confirmed that all employees will be transferred to other nearby locations. The company continues to operate four other stores within the City of Seattle.

In this encore episode of The Voice of Retail from January 2025, I'm joined by Sergeant Craig Reynolds and Arezo Zarrabian, Senior Crime Analyst at the Vancouver Police Department, for an exclusive look inside Project Barcode—a pioneering effort to combat organized retail crime in Vancouver.Sparked by a staggering 260% increase in retail theft involving weapons, Project Barcode was launched in 2021 and has evolved into a city-wide operation. Combining targeted police action, strategic analytics, and cross-agency collaboration, the project has become a blueprint for combating retail crime across Canada—and beyond.Craig and Arezo take us behind the scenes of Barcode's design and deployment. With more than 1,400 arrests, 166 repeat offenders apprehended, and $1.4 million in goods and criminal assets recovered, Project Barcode is delivering measurable results. Arezo's data-driven insights guide every phase—from identifying hotspots by time and geography, to profiling offender patterns and predicting retail theft surges. One key innovation? Deploying officers based on real-time trends, such as peak theft hours or common entry points into the city.Yet the team doesn't just tackle frontline offenders. A major focus is upstream—targeting fences and organized resellers who drive demand for stolen goods. With the help of anti-fencing units and civil forfeiture laws, Project Barcode has disrupted the black-market supply chain while building stronger partnerships with the retail community.Craig and Arezo also share deeply human perspectives on the systemic issues behind the crimes: homelessness, addiction, lack of mental health support, and underfunded social services. They stress that many offenders are exploited and desperate—often stealing not out of greed, but obligation to pay off debts. They advocate for wraparound solutions that go beyond law enforcement, including judicial reform, community policing, and better data sharing.The episode closes with a look ahead: more coordination, smarter deployment, and a renewed call for nationwide efforts to recognize retail crime as a serious threat to public safety and economic stability.If you're a retailer, policymaker, or security professional, this is essential listening on how cities can combine compassion, innovation, and accountability to fight retail crime—and win.

Arlington County has seen a notable rise in crime, particularly in shoplifting and assaults, continuing a multi-year trend. This surge stems from factors such as economic pressures, organized retail theft, and shifts in law enforcement strategies. As crime rates climb, local authorities face mounting pressure to address safety concerns while balancing community needs. Looking ahead, Arlington's response—through policing, policy adjustments, and prevention efforts—will determine whether this trend stabilizes or escalates further.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-stories--4814524/support.

The Prime Minister, Police Commissioner and Police Minister have all been forced to hose down concerns over an internal police memo directing officers not to investigate crimes under a certain value. The nationwide internal directive, made public by RNZ, set the cut off for petrol drive off at $150, $500 for shoplifting and $1000 for fraud, including online scams. The instruction was to file those cases regardless of lines of inquiry or solvability. Police Minister Mark Mitchell spoke to Lisa Owen.

"We expect our police to tackle crime everywhere," that said by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon as he and the Police Commissioner moved to reassure the public about a new police directive that's sparked confusion and concern. The directive told officers not to investigate allegations of shoplifting below $500. While petrol drive offs below $150 and online scams under $1000 would also not be investigated. Finn Blackwell reports.

Today on Politics Wednesday, Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen joined Mike Hosking to discuss the biggest topics of the week so far. They discussed the shoplifting directive issued to Police – will officers still be attending retail crime incidents if the value of the theft is less than $500? And why is Labour against the use of private hospitals to lower the public surgery backlog? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Don't sweat the small stuff.” That's the message cops have been given about shoplifting. And the powers-that-be can say as much as they like about their memo to staff about only bothering with shoplifting worth more than $500 not being worded as well as it could have been, but the message is very clear. You steal stuff worth less than $500 and you're going to get off scot-free. If I was a retailer, I'd be really brassed off. I'd be brassed off with the cops and I'd be brassed off with the Police Minister, who is no longer doing interviews about retail crime, apparently. This is the guy who made a career out of sending off media releases every time there was a ram raid. This is the guy who promised the crims would be scared of him and his coalition government, because the free ride for crims was about to end. This is the Mark Mitchell who said this two years ago, when he was in Opposition: “While retail crime incidents have more than doubled since 2018, fewer offenders are being held accountable for their actions. Despite an enormous spike in retail offending under Labour, the number of convictions for this type of offending have decreased. “Staggeringly, this drop in convictions coincides with skyrocketing incidents of retail crime. Offenders are simply not being held to account by a Labour government which has been nothing except soft on crime.” So if I was a retailer, I'd be angry. I'd also be very worried. In fact, even if I worked in retail —not necessarily owned a shop, but worked in a shop on the daily— I'd be worried. Because I'd know that even if I saw someone nicking stuff and I called them out on it, they'd just tell me to go to hell. “What're you gonna do? Call the cops?” Sunny Kaushal, who used to run the Dairy & Business Owners Group and now chairs the Government's advisory group on retail crime, says other countries have taken this approach and it's gone very badly. Quite rightly, he says that it “emboldens” criminals. Makes them even more brazen, because they know nothing's going to happen. Which is why —if I was someone who likes to go into shops and help myself to stuff— I'd be very happy. Because the police writing this stuff down and it getting out means retail criminals have a licence to do what they want. They can go into your local supermarket and walk out the door with $490 worth of groceries. You picture $490 worth of groceries in a trolley at Pak n Save and someone walking out the door without paying, knowing the police won't be coming anytime soon. Pretty much flipping the bird at anyone who tries to stop them. Now I'm realistic and I know, just like you do, that the chance of the police turning up is less likely than it used to be. And yes, they've probably always had a cut-off point where they decide something's too small fry to investigate. Which is fine, but, making it an explicit instruction or suggestion not to investigate unless the stuff nicked is worth more than $500, is a major cock-up by the police. And I don't know if there's any coming back from it. Because, even if the Police Minister showed some fortitude and told the police to ditch this approach to retail crime, we know that even then the likelihood of the police getting involved in this lower-level retail crime would be pretty low. Because they just don't have the resources. Which tells me that, despite tough talking from politicians, the battle against retail crime is a losing battle. And if it's not a losing battle, it's a battle we've already lost. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. You cannot go into an election promising to get tough on crime, win the election and vow to draw a line in the sand, declare war on the crims, and then issue a directive that police won't turn up to minor crime. To paraphrase supermodel Linda Evangelista, who famously said she wouldn't get out of bed for less than $10,000, it appears our coppers won't get out of their Skodas for less than $500. A memo has surfaced directing police staff not to investigate crimes under a certain value, such as shoplifting goods under $500. As you can imagine, there have been howls of outrage from retailers and dairy owners, and police are now scrambling to explain themselves. Ann-Marie Johnson, Retail NZ manager, was on Early Edition this morning. She says that retailers do have a realistic expectation of police. “Retailers know that police aren't going to show up to every small, very minor case of shoplifting, but we certainly want to know that they're taking these crimes seriously and that where they can, they will be following up and arresting. Often they're repeat offenders, so we know who they are, and police know who they are, so we want to particularly focus on those people.” Well, exactly. I remember ages ago I left my window open. I used to live in a villa that was on the street, and I left the window open in summer and some opportunistic heffer managed to heave herself through the window and scoop up what she could see in my bedroom and disappear. And I rang the police, not because I expected them to turn up, but because I needed the case number for my insurance claim, but somebody turned up about 3 or 4 days later and dusted for fingerprints on the windowsill. And because of that, they were able to match it to a nest of Vipers in West Auckland, a group of women who had committed all sorts of petty thefts and burglaries and crimes, and so it was worth holding off on the house cleaning and not doing the window sill so the police could dust for fingerprints. Of course they can't turn up to every crime. I know that, but it's not a good look. Police Minister Mark Mitchell says he is happy to talk, but he doesn't want to get ahead “of the police executive who are going to clarify their position”. I can only imagine the “please explain” face on the Minister when he made a call to the newish-Commissioner. It's one thing for us all to know that if our wallet is nicked because we stupidly left it on a bus stop seat, we know the police aren't going to converge on the scene of the crime, all blues and two in their numbers. It is quite another thing to know that a directive has been sent applying nationally standardised threshold values when assessing theft and fraud. Losing $500 worth of groceries and goods can have a huge impact on a small business' weekly turnover, and I sure as hell do not want to see losers walking out of supermarkets with $500 worth of groceries, getting a free pass. You don't elect a centre right government for that sort of carry on. That was the very thing that galvanised a significant number of voters to vote centre right. You may not be able to get to every petty thief in the country, you know that. I know that the retailers know that, and the crims sure as hell know that, but the messaging from police has to be that they're going to jolly well try.

Retail New Zealand wants an urgent meeting with the police minister over concerns retail crimes under a certain value may not not be investigated. Checkpoint has seen a police directive to staff that said they will no longer be investigating allegations of shoplifting below $500, petrol drive-offs below $150, and online frauds below $1000 regardless of lines of inquiry as part of a new nationwide directive. Police director of Service Superintendent Blair Macdonald spoke to Lisa Owen.

Retailers are seeking clarity on a Police directive on shoplifting. RNZ reports police staff have been told to not investigate allegations of theft below $500. Police may not take further action if the reports don't have enough evidence, such as CCTV. Chair of the Ministry of Justice's Retail Crime Advisory Group Sunny Kaushal told Mike Hosking retailers are concerned. He says similar policies have already failed in America and the UK, where gangs of shoplifters exploit them to make illegal gains without consequences. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I totally understand that retailers want an urgent meeting with the Police Minister. This is over the revelation that police aren't bothering to investigate shoplifting below $500 bucks anymore. They're clearly worried, because what's happened is there's been a revelation from a memo that was sent to police staff a couple of months ago, saying that from now on, across all districts, cops will no longer investigate theft and fraud below a certain value. General theft - anything below $200, not investigating. Petrol drive-offs - anything below $150, not investigating. Shoplifting - anything below $500, not investigating. Fraud - as in paywave fraud, online fraud, scams, anything below $1000 and then all other fraud - anything below $500, cops aren't turning up. And that is, by the way, regardless of whether you have lines of inquiry. So even if you know who nicked the stuff, even if you can tell them where the stuff is, they're not going to investigate. Now, it's totally understandable for retailers to want an urgent meeting on this, because this has probably come as something of a shock. But also, this is the reality, isn't it? There are not enough police to deal with all the crime in the country. We know that. It's not really even a total surprise when you think about how many stories you've heard about people who go to the police, tell the police exactly where the bike is, where the police can go and find it because it's been nicked, and the police won't go and get it. But, this is gonna be a problem, isn't it? When the thieves start finding out about this stuff - cause they may be criminals, but they're not always stupid - they know what they can get away with scot-free. And that is why so many of them just ended up brazenly pushing those loaded trolleys out of the supermarkets for a while there, cause they knew nothing was gonna happen to them. I suspect the same thing is gonna happen once they figure out what the thresholds are here. And if this is the reality that we now live in, then I think the only solution to this is for the Government to get out of the way of retailers helping themselves. They need to let the supermarkets use that facial recognition technology they want to use, so they can stop people from coming in and committing the crime. They need to pass the citizen's arrests law to allow the retailers and the security guards themselves to stop the criminals getting away with this stuff. Because frankly, if the cops can't help - and clearly there aren't enough of them to help - then the retailers need the tools to be able to help themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Police say they can't get to all retail crime - after revelations revealed they won't investigate some lower-level crimes. RNZ reports staff have been directed to not investigate shoplifting below $500 dollars and online fraud below $1000 dollars. Police say they may not take a further look into crime below the threshold - and lacking evidence. Superintendent Blair Macdonald says his team get 90,000 reports every month - and explained they try to judge where officers can prevent the most amount of harm to the public.

RNZ reports staff have been directed to not investigate retail crime below $500 and online fraud below $1000. Police may not take further action if the reports don't have enough evidence, such as CCTV. However, Mark Mitchell told Kerre Woodham every crime deserves a response.

There is confusion over whether police are using a financial threshold to decide whether they investigate crimes like shoplifting and financial scams. Checkpoint has seen a document that lays out nationally standardised value thresholds for certain crimes. Shoplifting is $500, Petrol drive offs are $150 and fraud, paywave and online scams are $1000. National Retail investigation support manager Matt Tierney spoke to Lisa Owen.

A West Auckland butcher says a lot of shoplifting is too small to bother reporting. A Retail NZ survey has found 40 percent of retail crime goes unreported. Butcher Reuben Sharples says for small amounts it's not worth the hassle to get CCTV footage together to send police. He says they only report on bigger robberies, which get a bigger police response.

A strategy to stop shoplifters at a local Safeway is under scrutiny by the city of Seattle, which issued a notice of violation due to an entryway that is kept closed to prevent theft.The Safeway at 8340 15th Ave NW in Seattle's Crown Hill neighborhood has endured a long struggle with shoplifters.In a recent move, the grocery store opted to close one of its two entrances to give these thieves one less escape route.“I have seen people just blatantly carry stuff out," said Gretchen, a long-time shopper who didn't want her last name used. “They have to fight it somehow.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Andrew's better half Pat joins us this week! Forget the Eagles, did we watch Kendrick Lamar dominate at the Super Bowl? We're continuing to watch the first 100 days of the Trump admin, and sadly, we're continuing to report that the admin's approach is to flood the zone with ridiculous, outrageous legislative priorities and patently false information. Andrew's a baddie: confessions of a digital shoplifter, among his other crimes. Are big retailers making it too easy for consumers to take advantage of generous refund policies? What impact does this have on small businesses? To be fair, we're not just throwing Andrew under the bus - we've all used refund policies to our advantage at one point or another. Speaking of big retailers, Barnes & Noble is having a major comeback with its brick and mortar locations! Barnes & Noble will be opening 60 new bookstores in 2025 after years of decline. Their reasoning? #BookTok trends, the loneliness epidemic, and an increasing consumer demand for more third spaces. And of course, we've got recommendations hot off the press for y'all: Bookshop.org, which now offers ebooks in competition with Kindle (Andrew), 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' by TJ Klune (Pat), and downloading a copy of your student aid history at StudentAid.gov if you have federal student loans (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're all in our mid-thirties - is it time for us to get all of our stuff our of mom and dad's house? How do we deal with family members trying to push their shit off on us? I DON'T WANT YOUR CHRISTMAS CHINA, GREAT AUNT MARGE! What do we want done with our stuff when we slip the mortal coil?
