The San Francisco Police Department confirmed deploying officers to retail stores to arrest suspected shoplifters. Retail crimes have plagued the California city in recent years.
police have been staking out retail and grocery stores to catch shoplifters and have arrested 60 people since the covert operation launched last month, officials said.
Details of the operation are slim, but police said that officers have been deployed to monitor pharmacies, grocery stores and retail stores across the city. The stores include Walgreens, Old Navy, Target, Whole Foods, CVS and Macy’s, the Chronicle reported. Roughly half of the 60 arrested suspects were offered diversion, while the other half are facing prosecution ranging from commercial shoplifting to grand theft. "We’re going to assess it and see how successful it is," Vaswani said."Of course, we also have to look at the overall resources and how sustainable it is."Both the city’s mayor and district attorney published statements in support of cracking down on theft crimes.
"Operations like this not only yield results in arrests and prosecutions, they also send a message that there will be consequences when you cross the line in San Francisco," San Francisco Mayor London Breed added in her own statement, according to the Chronicle."There has to be accountability in this city and we will keep building on the strong partnerships with our retailers to address theft in their stores so we can create a safer space for both residents and workers.
