Four suspected thieves are being sought in North Carolina after they took more than $7,000 worth of copper wire from a Lowe's home improvement store within minutes of arriving, according to media reports.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said a male and three females walked into the Charlotte-area store on June 28 and split into two groups as they made their way to the electrical aisle.

They put the stolen wire into two shopping carts and left the store through the self-checkout area, the report said.

Once I talked to a Lowes manager and she said that they lose thousands of dollars every week due to theft… they try to put the expensive items high up on the shelves or lock them up so that people will have to ask the store employees… they cannot do much like tackling them or stopping them if they take the stuff out without paying as they can sue back the store for hurting them.. or the employees can get hurt or even killed..

That's in every store... Walmart used to have security who can stop before they leave , not sure if they still do.

They can only report to police...

What people don't know is employee theft is 100 times that of external theft, so they stopped caring about thieves for most part.

 

Shift Managers, stockists have all kinds of access to steal thousands without getting caught ever.
