San Francisco Crime Wave: Rampant Shoplifting, Theft Forces Stores to Cut Hours or Close
Robert GrahamThe crime wave in San Francisco, California, continues as police presence dwindles and thieves brazenly loot stores, causing Target properties in the Bay Area to announce they are cutting hours to reduce losses.
Target stores, which normally stay open until 10 p.m. in most cities around the country, will be closing at 6 p.m. in San Francisco, according to ABC7:
The company says that for more than a month their stores have experienced an alarming rise in theft and security incidents.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed says cutting hours is not the answer.
“We need to make sure when these crimes occur that there is an accountability component. When police make an arrest which they have – which you saw on the news with the guy on the bike and arrest has been made. Will they be held accountable for what they did?” said Mayor Breed.
