Bars of Dairy Milk and Lindt have been locked in plastic security boxes at supermarkets in the UK after chocolate has become a “high-value target” in thefts.
Retailers faced 5.5m incidents of shoplifting last year, costing them more than £400m, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) said. This has led to more items being protected by the clear plastic boxes, fitted with electronic alarms.
