Establishes crime of gang shoplifting.

This bill establishes "gang shoplifting" as a new third-degree crime in New Jersey. It applies when two or more people enter a store together and openly take items without paying (intending to deprive the store of them) or tamper with property to endanger people or damage the store. Convicted individuals face a mandatory minimum one-year prison sentence without parole eligibility, plus potential fines up to $15,000. The bill directly targets coordinated retail thefts, specifically addressing incidents described as "flash mobs" looting stores in public view.
