Video surveillance is installed in all stores of Agryz.

      Three main categories of individuals committing shoplifting are identified. The issue of shoplifting remains relevant for retail outlets in Agryz. Police officers and representatives of retail chains remind that any theft of someone else's property entails serious consequences — from administrative fines to criminal penalties. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Agryz district identifies three main categories of individuals committing thefts in stores. The first category includes kleptomaniacs — people suffering from a disorder that causes them to succumb to sudden impulses to take items. Most often, these are small, low-cost items — sometimes such things are not even needed by the "thief." The second category consists of professionals: these individuals consciously commit crimes, carefully plan them, and are usually targeting expensive goods. The third group — thrill-seekers, the most unpredictable: people steal for the excitement and adrenaline rush. This category can include representatives from various social strata — from students to quite well-off city dwellers. Law enforcement officials explain what punishment is provided for theft depending on the value of the stolen goods. If the value of the stolen item is less than 2,500 rubles, the act is classified as petty theft, and administrative liability arises under Article 7.27 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation. If the value of the stolen item exceeds 2,500 rubles, criminal liability arises under Part 1 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Theft"), with a maximum punishment of imprisonment for up to two years. Moreover, if a person has previously been held administratively liable for petty theft and commits a similar act again, they may be held criminally liable under Article 158.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — the sanction provides for imprisonment for up to one year. It is also important to consider the age limits for liability. Criminal liability under Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation begins at 14 years, while liability under Article 158.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and administrative liability under Article 7.27 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation begins at 16 years. All stores in the city of Agryz have video surveillance installed. Cameras record not only the fact of taking unpaid goods but also the preceding actions: selecting an item, attempts to hide it, removing protective markings, passing it to another person. Recordings from the cameras are stored for a long time, meaning that the fact of theft can be identified even after a significant period following the incident — and the offender can still be held accountable. The police urge citizens not to put themselves at risk: pay for the selected goods before leaving the checkout area. Remember that even seemingly insignificant theft can lead to serious legal consequences — up to a criminal record.
