Shoplifting reports at local retail businesses are up according to City of Uvalde Police Lieutenant Martinez.

He also added that petty crimes and property crimes in the area are up as well. When asked if he thought the spike in reports on these crimes are due to inflation, he said he did not think there was a direct correlation.
