A number of business owners in Charlottetown say they’re experiencing an unprecedented level of theft.
“This summer season was the worst that we’ve ever experienced,” said Kimberly McIntyre, who owns Kuriosities Jewelry and Crow’s Nest on Victoria Row in Charlottetown.
She said this summer she and her staff were catching shoplifters on a weekly basis — sometimes multiple times per week. Just a few years ago, theft would only happen a handful of times in her stores, she said.
