Theft by retail staff is on the increase across Europe. UK figures show that women are playing an active role, although there are still more men on the take and stealing more. The figures show that of the 2,476 staff thefts reported during a 12-month period by 14 retailers, 1,209 were women stealing an average of £816 per offence; while 1,277 were men whose average theft was £919.68. The women involved were in this case older than the men and the more prolific female offenders – those stealing more than £10,000 – stole more than 40 per cent more than their male counterparts.
