Shoplifting Vehicle Alerts

Real-time VRN alert lists for retail crime prevention

Receive instant alerts when a vehicle linked to shoplifting, anti-social behaviour, or fuel theft enters your site. Build and share alert lists across locations to protect your business proactively.

The challenge

Repeat offenders cost retailers millions every year

Shoplifting and retail crime are escalating across the UK. Many offenders are repeat visitors who target the same sites, often arriving by car. Without a way to identify these vehicles on arrival, security teams are always reacting — never preventing.

Fuel theft at forecourts, anti-social behaviour in car parks, and organised retail crime all follow patterns. The problem isn't a lack of CCTV footage — it's the inability to act on that data in real time.

How RAAPS solves it

Proactive alerts, not reactive investigation

RAAPS lets you create and manage VRN (Vehicle Registration Number) alert lists for known offenders, suspicious vehicles, and vehicles linked to specific incidents. When a listed vehicle's number plate is read by any ANPR camera on your site, an alert fires immediately.

Alerts can be configured by category — shoplifting, fuel theft, anti-social behaviour, drifting, racing — and shared across multiple sites, giving your security teams actionable intelligence the moment a threat arrives.

Alert list capabilities

Turn vehicle data into real-time security intelligence.

Real-time VRN alerts

Instant notifications when a flagged vehicle enters your site — delivered to security teams via the RAAPS dashboard, email, or integrations.

Categorised alert lists

Organise alerts by type — shoplifting, fuel theft, anti-social behaviour, drifting, racing — so responders know exactly what they're dealing with.

Multi-site sharing

Share alert lists across multiple locations. When a vehicle is flagged at one site, every connected site is protected immediately.

Evidence-ready records

Every alert is logged with plate read data, camera image, timestamp, and location — ready for police reports or internal investigations.

How it works

From incident to proactive protection in minutes.

1

Add vehicle to alert list

After an incident, add the offender's VRN to the relevant alert list with category, notes, and any supporting evidence.

2

ANPR cameras watch

Every vehicle entering your site is scanned by ANPR cameras and checked against all active alert lists in real time.

3

Alert fires instantly

When a match is found, security teams are notified immediately with the vehicle details, alert category, and associated evidence.
