The current recession most of the world is facing right now is leading to more crimes. Some people can’t cut back or feel like they’re forced to commit crimes, so their families can be provided for. A lot of small businesses are the targets for thieves; who are looking to make an easy score with some fast cash. The convenience stores are always a popular target for burglars that need a little money in a short amount of time. Not too many security measures are usually found at these small stores. Most will have a video camera and a few convex mirrors inside the store for protection. These security measures are good for capturing the criminals down the road, but do little to prevent the actual robbery. If the economy doesn’t pick up soon, we could see a lot more of these types of crimes taking place. I’m sure a lot of store owners are hoping for a fast economical recovery, so they’re not in this high risk category for thieves that need to make money to live and survive on.
