VANCOUVER — A group of more than 30 British Columbia retailers, trade associations and other organizations is calling for a co-ordinated government response for repeat offenders they say are behind a wave of theft, vandalism and violent crime.
The Save Our Streets coalition says the need for immediate action is"critical" to meet threats to staff safety, rising security costs and the community impact.
Members of the group include retailers London Drugs, Lululemon and Save-On Foods, as well as the Surrey Board of Trade and Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers.
