SA retailers are gearing up for a possibility of crime sprees over the long EasterWeekend.

Phillips said Gauteng had the country's highest rate of attacks on retailers - accounting for 46% of all attacks in the country - followed by the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal.

Phillips said the retailers that reported the biggest increase in attacks were those involved in liquor."Within this sector, there has been a 21% increase in attacks year-on-year. We believe that’s because of their heavy reliance on cash,” he said.
