Eric Adams: NYC shoppers need to ditch masks to show they aren’t crooks

Mayor Eric Adams is calling on New York City shoppers to remove their face masks when entering stores as a way to clamp down on shoplifters.

“Do not allow people to enter the store without taking off their face mask and then once they’re inside they can continue to wear if they so desire to do so,” Adams said on 1010-WINS of the facial recognition push to especially help combat repeat offenders.

“When you see these mask-wearing people, oftentimes it’s not about being fearful of the pandemic. It’s fearful of the police catching [them] for their deeds,” he said.

Adams’ call for entryway retail unmasking comes days after data released by the New York City Police Department revealed an unexplained 10% decrease in reports of retail theft this February compared to last year.
