(1) organized theft groups, involving sophisti-1
cated and structured groups of individuals, continue 2
to increase criminal activities carried out by the 3
groups against the retail industry and the supply 4
chain of the Nation. These activities, at unprece-5
dented levels, involve theft and fraud of both phys-6
ical and digital goods, leading to escalating financial 7
losses and violence in the workplace—all impacting 8
the national economy and security of the United 9
States; 10
(2) retailers face mounting thefts and fraud be-11
cause of organized retail crime in and around stores, 12
online, and throughout the retail ecosystem. Accord-13
ing to the National Retail Federation, larceny inci-14
dents increased by 93 percent in 2023 compared to 15
2019, with a 90 percent rise in average dollar loss. 16
These thefts are often orchestrated by organized 17
theft groups reselling and redistributing the stolen 18
goods back into the economy of the United States or 19
overseas to gain illicit profit and to finance other 20
criminal activity. More than 84 percent of retailers 21
report that violence and aggression from these crimi-22
nal activities has become more of a concern since 23
2022, resulting in injuries and deaths among em-24

ployees, customers, security officers, and law en-1
forcement personnel; 2
(3) product manufacturers and the supply chain 3
of the Nation are victims of alarming increases in 4
cargo theft across rails, roads, and the various dis-5
tribution points across the Nation. CargoNet, a 6
database of reported incidents in the United States, 7
reported a 27 percent increase in cargo theft inci-8
dents in 2024 compared to the previous year. Dur-9
ing the same period, the average value per theft rose 10
to over $202,000. These thefts range from large- 11
scale physical theft of goods from containers and 12
storage to sophisticated cybercriminal methods that 13
divert shipments to illicit receivers, causing signifi-14
cant financial losses and operational supply chain 15
disruptions; 16
(4) since 2022, more than 30 State laws have 17
been enacted to address organized theft, allow for 18
aggregation of thefts, and adjust penalties and en-19
hancements. In 2024, California voters overwhelm-20
ingly approved a constitutional reform to allow ag-21
gregation of multiple or repeated thefts. Although 22
larceny and organized retail crime are sometimes 23
prosecuted at State and local levels, States face re-24
source and investigative challenges from groups op-25

erating beyond local, State, and regional law en-1
forcement capabilities. More needs to be done to ad-2
dress the cross-jurisdictional, interstate, and inter-3
national aspects of these crimes; 4
(5) organized theft groups vary in scope and 5
scale, operating across State jurisdictions to avoid or 6
disrupt local, State, and Tribal law enforcement re-7
sponse. These organized theft groups build hierar-8
chies to easily redistribute stolen goods and illicit 9
profits back into the economy of the United States 10
or overseas with disregard for product and consumer 11
safety. The groups exist and operate at the local, re-12
gional, and transnational level, targeting goods that 13
include raw and finished materials, various branded 14
retail products across all consumer categories, oper-15
ational assets in retail commerce such as reusable 16
transport packaging products, and consumable goods 17
including agriculture, food products, and medicines; 18
(6) these groups are often polycriminal organi-19
zations, using profit from the reselling of stolen 20
goods to support crimes involving drugs and weap-21
ons trafficking. The organized theft groups engage 22
in human smuggling and have been known to use 23
migrants to commit crimes to support the organiza-24
tions. The groups move products and illicit proceeds 25
