THOROFARE, N.J., Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkpoint's, Alpha High-Theft Solutions introduces Alpha Zone 2.0, a next generation anti-theft product locationing solution. The solution offers zonal protection of display or high value merchandise without restricting the shopping experience and reducing the store's risk of theft.
