<p>An anti-theft security tag (10) includes an engagement member (14) and a housing (16) for supporting an electronic article surveillance (EAS) marker. The housing (16) includes a rotating inner core for supporting the engagement member (14) for attachment to the article. The engagement member (14) includes a line for connection to the article and a locking mechanism for securing the first and second ends of the line therein so that the core and the engagement member (14) can rotate together within the housing (16). In one embodiment, the locking mechanism includes one or more self-crimping members which automatically secure at least one end of the line upon insertion therein. One end of the rotating core may be disposed flush with one end of the housing (16), so that the consumer cannot twist the line in order to remove the tag (10).</p>
