U.S. Representative Kim Schrier (KIRO 7) Washington Congresswoman Kim Schrier is taking aim at organized retail theft with a new bill she co-sponsored this week. The ' Combating Organized Retail Crime Act ' is a bipartisan bill outlining steps to crack down on organized retail crime. The bill stated organized retail crime has become increasingly prevalent across the United States, with ramifications including threatening local businesses and jobs, putting employees and customers at risk, and fueling transnational criminal organizations' other illicit activities, including human, drug, and weapons trafficking.
