Sainsbury’s boss backs law change to deal with spiralling retail crime
Sainsbury’s boss Simon Roberts has said that abuse and physical attacks on Sainsbury’s staff have “escalated through last year” and backed calls for changes in the law to protect shopworkers.
Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, Roberts said he saw an increase in retail crime over last year and that he has been working with the government and fellow retail bosses to work out a solution to clamp down on the problem.
“I see a report every day on the number of violent incidents and assaults on our people in our petrol stations, our convenience stores and in our shops,” Roberts said.
