Rural Crime: Security warning to farm shop owners as retail crime surges
More than eight in 10 retailers have experienced crime in the last six months, with farm shops among those frequently targeted, NFU Mutual has warned.
Farm shop owners are being warned to stay vigilant as the rural insurer's research shows that shopkeepers are facing 'unprecedented levels' of crime.
In the last six months, just over eight in ten (83%) have experienced crime and more than two thirds say retail crime has increased in 2023.
