David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images Retail chain Target will be closing its stores in San Francisco, California, early due to increases in shoplifting in the city.
ABC 7 reported that Target acknowledged San Francisco’s high retail crime by closing its stores earlier in the day in an attempt to cut down on shoplifting.
“For more than a month, we’ve been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area,” a Target spokesperson told NBC Bay Area in a statement Friday night. “Target is engaging local law enforcement, elected officials and community partners to address our concerns. With the safety of our guests, team members and communities as our top priority, we’ve temporarily reduced our operating hours in six San Francisco stores.”

He also said Walgreens was spending 35 times more on security guards in San Francisco than anywhere else.

He added that the majority of shoplifting incidents at […]

The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
