My main question might be more of a police situation, but figured I’d ask the other AP questions I’ve always wondered about now too...
1- A few weeks ago I noticed two men acting kinda sketchy deciding which registers to go to.
They split up and one goes to SCO and the other to my express lane. Both the sketchy guys had a couple random cheap items and then thousands of dollars in visa GCs they were trying to buy. Both cards denied. Then each of them had other credit cards to try...all denied. Eventually they each left (separately, saying they were going outside to call their bank..).
Anyway, last night I was watching the local news and literally see one of the guys on it in a mugshot. He and his 2 colleagues were arrested for burglary. I googled it and found a mugshot of one of the other guys...sure enough it’s the same other guy from the sketchy credit card thing a few weeks ago.
So basically these guys tried to use stolen CCs at my store but they didn’t work, then the guys are arrested for way more serious charges. Any use in me reporting this situation to AP or to police? I don’t remember the exact date so might mean reviewing weeks of video to find guys who technically didn’t commit any crime at my store at least...
2- would AP like us to alert them when we see someone acting a little sketchy or wait until they’ve actually done something?
3- If there is no AP at the time and we witness someone pocketing an item...we just don’t do anything whatsoever? (Of course I let my TL know but they basically say oh well sucks we don’t have an AP on).
4- is there anything else I can do? Feel like AP is a losing battle at my store. Anything I can do, lmk! Just sucks trying to help and not being able to.
