Alcohol shoplifting, otherwise known as liquor lifting, has been on the rise in Richmond.
The Richmond Police Department and the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority held a briefing on Friday to discuss how this type of crime is being addressed.
A partnership between Richmond Police and Virginia ABC has assigned a detective at stores with high theft rates to catch and punish offenders. As of right now, there have been eight liquor lifting operations to catch offenders at Richmond ABC stores.
