Merchandise theft is one of the crimes that most concerns the city's commercial sector, shared Roberto Vega Solís, president of the Employers' Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) of Tijuana.
He mentioned that Coparmex Tijuana conducted a survey of its members, who responded that this crime was one of their main concerns, with 50 percent reporting being victims.
He noted that this crime generates additional costs for the final product offered to customers, as merchants choose to raise the price to recover the loss.

Furthermore, Vega Solís indicated that many companies are opting to reinforce their security with cameras for warehouses and trucks, and are hiring security guards, increasing operating expenses.
The president of Coparmex Tijuana added that with the arrival of new heads of the Municipal Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection of Tijuana and the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Baja California, they are seeking to learn about their work plans and express the sector's concerns.
