Over a dozen vehicles pulled up to the Broadway Plaza shopping mall. Some eighty vandals, some wielding crowbars, ran inside Nordstrom and stole merchandise. Five Nordstrom employees were physically assaulted.
The action was said to be over in less than a minute. With their bounty in hand, estimated at $200,000, the thieves drove off in different directions. Only three were apprehended. Of those, one was illegally carrying a firearm.
Mobs of Thieves Loot Multiple Best Buy Stores in Twin Cities on Black Friday
Groups of looters hit two Best Buy stores in Minnesota’s Twin Cities just after 8:00 p.m. on Black Friday, according to reports.
One of the looting frenzies occurred at the Burnsville Best Buy, where 20-30 suspects rushed the store in a flash mob-style robbery, KSTP reported.
Burnsville Police Capt. Don Stenger said that no weapons were used in the Burnsville shoplifting incident, according to the Star Tribune. “We don’t know exactly what was taken or the dollar value,” Stenger added.
The second looting incident took place at the Maplewood Best Buy, where police say a group of ten to twelve looters, comprised of adults and juveniles, stole “high value items,” according to KSTP.
Police were told that the suspects walked into the store at the same time and worked in tandem to steal hoverboards, televisions, and tablets, among other items, the Star Tribune reports. No one was injured in either incident and as of Saturday, no suspects were arrested.
Police are investigating if the incidents are related, CBS Minnesota reported.
Best Buy released the following statement via a spokesperson regarding the looting incidents:
Retailers across the country are seeing spikes in crime. These incidents have been, by and large, non-violent though often traumatic for those who witnessed them. As an industry, we are working with local law enforcement and taking additional security precautions where it makes sense.
We are also working at the federal level to pass a law that would make the online re-selling of these stolen goods much more difficult, materially reducing the incentive to commit the crimes in the first place.
“We can’t tolerate that kind of behavior. Just as a society, we just can’t,” said Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher during a live stream, according to CBS Minnesota.
Dave Vang, a retail specialist from St. Thomas University, weighed in on potential causes for the rise in looting.
“The pandemic and some political issues. A lot of police force has been spread very thinly over some parts of the country,” he told KSTP.
He added that the thieves sell the merchandise online at discounted rates compared to the retailers they steal from and that consumers should triple-check the legitimacy of an online seller.
“If you want to buy electronics from Best Buy, buy it from the Best Buy website. Don’t buy the same thing that someone claims it’s brand new, but is 30 percent or 40 percent cheaper,” Vang told KSTP.
In a separate incident, police say a man was fatally stabbed outside of a Houston Best Buy on Black Friday. The incident occurred at 6:05 p.m., and “Witnesses stated the victim and another male were seen walking together to the business and having an argument that escalated into a physical altercation in the parking lot,” according to the Houston Police Department (HPD).
“I see the guy, he hit the guy on the floor, then like he didn’t care and he hit him in his face, and then he hit him with the knife, then he walked away,” witness Beni Jaafar told Click 2 Houston.
“The suspect is described only as a black male with dreadlocks wearing a yellow, reflective traffic vest,” according to the HPD.

Walgreens Closes Five Bay Area Stores amid Shoplifting Surge

The ongoing shoplifting surge has forced Walgreens to close five more San Francisco stores as local law enforcement continues to do next to nothing to curtail the problem.
In a statement to SF Gate, Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso confirmed “organized retail crime” has strangled San Francisco stores.
“Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that,” Caruso said. “Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average.”
“During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment,” he added.
Asha Safai, San Francisco Board of Supervisor for District 11 admitted to feeling “devastated” over the closure a Walgreens store that has “been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades.”
“I am completely devastated by this news – this Walgreens is less than a mile from seven schools and has been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades. This closure will significantly impact this community,” he tweeted.
Safai told SFGate that the shoplifting had crippled the store’s bottom-line and endangered the staff and customers to an unhealthy degree.
“This is a sad day for San Francisco,” Safai said. “We can’t continue to let these anchor institutions close that so many people rely on.”
Shoplifting has skyrocketed in San Francisco recently, likely a result of Proposition 47, which dictates stealing would not be a felony in California if the item stolen did not exceed $950.
The damage has been felt across a range of business outlets.
In May of this year, The San Francisco News described the situation as being “out of control,” noting that 17 Walgreens have had to close in the past five years due to rampant shoplifting in the city.
17 Walgreen locations in San Francisco have closed their doors within the last five years according to a report from the SF Chronicle. Ten of these closures transpired from 2019 to this year with the last Walgreens store to close its door as of this writing, back on March 17. The cause of the closures is due to rampant shoplifting and looting that has transpired at Walgreen locations in the city believed to be perpetuated by an organized crime ring.
On Thursday, May 13 a hearing was held by the Board of Supervisors with retailers, the SFPD, the district attorney’s office, and probation departments. Brendan Dugan, director of organized retail crime and corporate investigations, believes that San Francisco is at the center of organized retail crime. He brought up a state bust in the Bay Area from last year in which $8 million in stolen merchandise was confiscated from five suspects. The merchandise came from CVS, Target and Walgreens stores from all across San Francisco.
The lack of enforcement made shoplifters so nonchalant and casual they would often steal in broad daylight while awestruck customers documented the crime on their iPhones, allowing for some viral internet moments.

San Francisco Safeway Cuts Hours Due to Rampant Shoplifting

A prominent Safeway supermarket in the Castro district of San Francisco is limiting its hours due to rampant shoplifting, the latest example of a retail store closing or limiting its operations in the left-liberal city due to out-of-control petty crime.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday:
Shoppers at the Safeway in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood will see a noticeable change to the store: It now closes at 9 p.m. due to what one supervisor described as “out of control” shoplifting.
Once open 24 hours a day, the Safeway store on Market and Church streets now has the earliest closing hours of all the Pleasanton-based supermarket chain’s San Francisco storefronts, most of which stay open until midnight.
…
[San Francisco Supervisor Rafael] Mandelman said theft at the Safeway at 2020 Market Street has been “out of control” and recently met with Safeway representatives “to better understand the issues at this store.” He said he also planned to meet with the San Francisco Police Department and the office of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin “to see what is currently being done to deter theft at Safeway, and to figure out a plan to do better.”
Earlier this year, Walgreens closed 17 stores in the city due to shoplifting, which skyrocketed after California voters passed Proposition 47, a ballot initiative aimed at criminal justice reform, which reclassified thefts up to $950 as misdemeanors. As a result, such thefts are rarely prosecuted.
The crime spike began under former district attorney George Gascón, who is now district attorney for Los Angeles County, and has continued under Chesa Boudin, who now faces a likely recall election.

NYC Man Arrested Three Times in 36 Hours Brags of Release Due to Cash Bail Reform
A homeless man in Brooklyn arrested three times in 36 hours boasted to police he would avoid being held on bail because he “didn’t have a record,” the New York Post reported Sunday.
The man was eventually proved to be correct, the outlet said.
“Agustin Garcia, 63, was charged with robbing two Manhattan straphangers — wielding a knife against one of them — and stealing a beer from a Bronx bodega in rapid succession,” prosecutors and law enforcement sources explained to the Post.
Prosecutors asked two times that Garcia be held on bail during the alleged crime spree, but were denied by judges.
It was not until the suspect was caught a third time that he was taken to Bellevue Hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, but still with no bail to detain him.
“We can arrest people, we can cut them loose, incarcerate them, but it’s not addressing the underlying problems,” a law-enforcement source noted, adding the number one problem seen in cases was mental health.
Garcia’s brother, Jose, acknowledged the source was correct regarding the case.
“My brother is a sick person,” Jose Garcia said during an interview with the Post, adding Agustin has schizophrenia. “He’s been sick for the past 35 years.”
The suspect’s alleged crime spree began November 21 when officers said he took a dozen cans of beer from a bodega in the Bronx. He was later charged with petty larceny, the Post report continued:
Cops released him on a desk-appearance ticket pending a court hearing. Then just a few hours later, Garcia was back in handcuffs. Police said he was busted again around 3 a.m. Nov. 22 at the Canal Street subway station in Manhattan after allegedly stealing a straphanger’s backpack and pulling a knife on her while warning her to “stay back” when she followed him.
“I know I’m getting out,” the suspect told officers following his arrest, the sources said. “I have no record.”
Garcia, who reportedly had no earlier convictions, was charged with felony robbery, and prosecutors requested he be held on $15,000 cash bail or a bond of $45,000.
However, the man was let go on supervised release with no bail thanks to Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Clynes.
“Back on the street again, the suspect stole an iPhone from another straphanger at the West 145th Street/Lenox Avenue subway station around 7:15 a.m. Nov. 23 and fled with it into the subway tunnel,” authorities told the Post.
Officers nabbed him when he attempted to climb a subway platform back inside the station, according to sources. Garcia was eventually charged with grand larceny and also criminal trespassing.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office tried to put Garcia in jail and recommended he be kept there on $20,000 cash bail or a bond of $60,000.
“But Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Valentina Morales denied the request and instead ordered a 72-hour psych evaluation for Garcia at Bellevue,” the Post article read.
The hospital told the outlet the suspect remained there on Sunday.
Several laws took effect at the start of 2020 in New York, including one that would release potentially dangerous suspects from jail, CBS New York reported in December 2019:
New York’s bail reform law eliminates pretrial detention and cash bail for the vast majority of misdemeanor and non-violent felony cases. Hundreds of offenses such as stalking, grand larceny, assault as a hate crime, and second degree manslaughter will no longer be eligible for bail or pretrial detention.
According to the Post, a spokesman with the state court system explained judges who did not set bail for Garcia used their own discretion because they are authorized to do so under the law.
