Spotting Prolific Repeat Offenders with Privacy-First (Facial-Free) AI

The 80/20 of retail theft

A small core of prolific, repeat offenders accounts for a disproportionate share of losses across UK stores and estates — a pattern echoed in 2026 retail-crime data.

Recognising patterns, not faces

Facial recognition raises significant UK GDPR concerns. De Flow AI instead recognises behaviour and repeat patterns — the same routines, the same target lines — keeping deployments proportionate and ICO-friendly.

Deter before they start

When a known pattern reappears, staff get a discreet alert to offer high-visibility customer service — the single most effective deterrent. Loss prevention ties it into your evidence and reporting workflow.

Cut Shrink in Your UK Stores

See how De Flow AI's computer-vision loss prevention spots theft, fraud and risky behaviour in real time — and pays for itself within months.
