Retail & Forecourt Protection

ANPR intelligence for retail crime prevention

Detect repeat offenders, prevent fuel theft, and protect your shopping centre or retail park with real-time ANPR vehicle intelligence. Build evidence-ready records and share alert lists across locations.

The challenge

Retail crime is escalating — and it's vehicle-enabled

Shoplifting losses across UK retail reached record levels, with repeat offenders targeting the same sites. Fuel drive-offs cost forecourts thousands annually. Anti-social behaviour in car parks — from drifting to intimidation — drives away customers and damages your reputation.

Most offenders arrive by vehicle, yet traditional CCTV provides footage for investigation after the fact rather than actionable intelligence on arrival. Without linking vehicle data to known offenders in real time, security teams are always one step behind.

How RAAPS solves it

Vehicle intelligence that works on arrival

RAAPS deploys ANPR cameras across your retail site to capture every vehicle entering and exiting. Each plate read is checked against your alert lists in real time — flagging known shoplifters, fuel theft suspects, and vehicles linked to anti-social behaviour the moment they arrive.

Alert lists can be shared across multiple retail sites, creating a collaborative intelligence network. Every alert and plate read is stored as an evidence-ready record with imagery, timestamp, and camera location — ready for police reports, insurance claims, and internal investigations.
