Boosting is a common theft method used by the professional shoplifter. In many cases boosting is the method of choice for Organized Retail Crime (ORC) rings. Thieves create “boosters” by lining shopping bags, clothing, purses or other items with metal foil, preventing proper functionality of the EAS system. The AMC-7010 is a cost effective solution that leverages existing infrastructure to combat Boosting, while maintaining a pleasant shopping experience.
