According to the BRC, violence and abuse of the clerk also increased by 50 %, and on average over 2,000 per day was recorded.
The survey states that it is based on samples of retailers representing more than 1.1 million employees and market sales of more than 194 billion pounds.
An separate number issued by the National Statistics Bureau (ONS) on Thursday has revealed that the shoplifting crimes reported by the Brit of England and Wales will rise 23 % in the same period and exceed 492,000.
This is the best number since the current recording practition began in 2003.
However, BRC’s spokesman Tom Holder stated that the degree of problem was “very underestimated by ONS.”
“If their statistics are true, there is only about a day and a half a year for each store. If you ask the owner, they will be lucky. Shoplifting.”
Last month, in one of the KAMIKAZE incidents at an Oxford Street telephone store in London, two men spent a few minutes to kick the telephone stand in front of customers and clerks.
The telephone stand was thought to contain a dummy phone, and since then, it was sold online to suspected customers and believed that it was buying real.
The Great City Police stated that police officers responded to the case and searched for regions. Despite being captured in the video, they could not find the suspect. After that, the investigation started.
