Mayor Eric Adams last week during his State of the City address vowed to protect New York’s small business owners from shoplifting — as retail theft rates remain high across the five boroughs.
Meanwhile, retail and grocery industry groups recently joined together to form a new coalition called the Collective Action to Protect Our Stores. They are asking the city’s district attorney’s to form specialized units to address shoplifting directly.
On Monday night, the founder of that group, Nelson Eusebio, and Vice President of the Supermarket Association Nallely de Jesus joined “Inside City Hall” to talk about all this and more.
