The present invention relates to an anti-theft arrangement for packaged-product vending machines that comprise a cabinet-like outer casing ( 2 ) containing the products to be vended, and provided with a product dispensing compartment that is constituted by a hopper ( 6 ) which is movable from a closed position into an opened one and vice-versa. The anti-theft arrangement comprises at least a strut ( 10 ) and an actuator ( 11, 12, 14 ) for moving the strut ( 10 ) from a first operating position, in which the strut ( 10 ) is adapted to co-operate with the hopper ( 6 ) to lock it in its closed position, to a second operating position, in which the strut ( 10 ) enables the hopper ( 6 ) to be movd into its opened position and the selected products to be withdrawn, and vice-versa. Both the strut ( 10 ) and the actuator ( 11, 12, 14 ) are housed within a containment casing ( 9 ) adapted to be attached inside the cabinet-like outer casing ( 2 ).
