Coles staff at a select number of Aussie stores will be fitted with new body cams in a bid to combat escalating levels of abuse, as well as skyrocketing rates of theft.
The supermarket giant confirmed to Yahoo News Australia the cams, which are currently in a trial phase, are being rolled out in 30 stores across four states.
Staff at “high-risk” South Australian, Victorian, Queensland and Western Australian supermarkets will be fitted with the cameras, that are required to be manually turned on to start recording, should an employee “feel unsafe”.
