Police Take Note of New Shoplifting Scam - 12/11/08 >Hillsboro Police have discovered a new method of shoplifting from local home improvement retailers.

This organized bait and switch scam is run by having suspects purchase approximately $1000. worth of merchandise and then leave the store. An accomplice is then handed the receipt from that purchase and that person enters the location of the same retailer and then loads a cart with identical merchandise and leaves the store without paying. If stopped, the suspect produces what appears to be a valid receipt.

Two occurrences have happened at a Home Depot store in Hillsboro, and retailers are warned to be mindful of organized retail theft of this type.
