Home Depot participated in a nationwide coordinated crackdown on retail crime, which led to hundreds of arrests across 28 states in early June 2025. This blitz, led by Illinois' Cook County regional organized crime task force, involved over 100 jurisdictions and more than 30 retailers.
A representative for Home Depot stated that while overall theft is down, investigated incidents of organized retail crime are still up double digits year over year. This indicates the persistent challenge posed by organized groups targeting retailers.
The company's involvement in this crackdown underscores its commitment to mitigating losses from theft and improving in-store execution. Collaborative efforts between law enforcement and retailers are crucial in addressing the growing scale and scope of organized retail crime.
