Sophisticated theft rings are inflicting serious damage to United States retailers, primarily orchestrated by foreign criminal gangs who recruit immigrants for specific heists. This alarming revelation comes from Homeland Security Investigations, sent to testify on Capitol Hill about the potential devastating impact on the country's retail sector, due to the affiliations heists have with open borders.
Many of these thefts are not mere impromptu acts but are meticulously planned and executed by overseas gangs across Central Europe, South America, China, and other countries. The foreign criminal organizations focus on organized theft rings that seriously threaten the national and economic security of the United States.
