A recent annual survey has found that 30% of Americans admit to shoplifting. This trend is reportedly linked to inflation and financial strain affecting household budgets. As people in Houston and across the country face economic pressures, some are turning to shoplifting.

The survey provides insight into the demographics of those who admit to shoplifting, as well as the types of items being taken. Further details on the survey's findings can be found through FOX 26 Houston, including breakdowns of who is stealing and what items are most commonly targeted.
