NABI 2025 National Training Conference – 2 Full Days
This presentation provides law enforcement and retailers with a targeted overview of three Transnational Organized Theft Groups (OTGs) and their specific retail and financial fraud methods.
- South American Theft Groups (SATGs): Highly mobile and professional thieves focused on sophisticated, high-volume retail boosting and organized credit card/identity theft. Their operation often involves quickly converting stolen physical goods and fraudulently obtained card information into cash before relocating.
- Romani Theft Groups: Primarily rely on distraction, deception, and sleight of hand in and around retail environments. Key criminal activities include:
- “Boosting” (organized shoplifting).
- Quick-change and distraction thefts at point-of-sale.
- Locker room/gym thefts to steal credit cards, quickly using them for large purchases.
- Chinese Organized Retail Crime (ORC) Groups: These sophisticated networks focus on high-tech financial fraud and exploiting payment systems. Their core activities include large-scale gift card fraud (tampering, cloning, and draining balances) and the compromise of point-of-sale terminals to facilitate Tap 2 Pay fraud using stolen or cloned payment data.
