Fast food outlets and clothing stores have also become targets, given their easy accessibility, and in the majority of incidents suspects pretend to be customers before proceeding to rob the store. “We recommend that business owners in these high-risk areas consult their security providers to do a full risk assessment to ensure the premises and staff are fully protected against this type of crime,” she added.Keep your cash register in plain view from the outside of your business, so it can be monitored by police during the day or at night. Leave it open and empty after closing.
Ensure that all outside entrances and inside security doors have deadbolt locks. If you use padlocks, they should be made of steel and kept locked at all times. Remove serial numbers from your locks, to prevent unauthorised keys from being duplicated.
