The problem is if a large number of people go in (say 5+) with hoods up/hats on etc. then realistically even if there is security, they can't tackle them... and if they're only doing petty theft (small items off the shelves) it's going to be a low priority for police. Unless there are police already nearby, theyre not coming with lights & sirens for that sort of low-level crime.
Only two scenarios after that. In small towns, they usually take one look at CCTV and know exactly who it was

. In bigger cities frankly the chances of even figuring out who it was let alone catching them with stolen goods in hand is pretty much zero. If you don't catch a shoplifter red handed WITH the stolen goods on them, the ability to charge them with anything is basically zero.
