German supermarket chain Lidl has expanded its security measures, placing anti-theft labels even on low-cost items such as Twix and Mars chocolate bars. Store management explained that the move comes in response to a rise in thefts of inexpensive goods, including sweets. The aim is to reduce losses and ensure product availability for customers. Police welcomed the measure, noting an increase in shoplifting cases in recent months. Lidl emphasized that the decision is part of a broader strategy to combat theft.
