California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced what he calledaimed at cracking down on organized theft rings that resell stolen goods online.
But the announcement raised an issue that has become a vulnerability for California’s governing Democrats who in recent years backed a host of criminal justice reform measures that lowered criminal penalties and prison populations and have been blamed since for the high-profile brazen thefts and robberies.
California and states across the country have seen a pattern of organized retail crime, Bonta said. According to a 2020 national survey, U.S. retailers lose about $700,000 to organized retail crime per every $1 billion in sales. “They are professional thieves running a business stealing from retailers and our communities,” Stallard said. “It’s becoming increasingly easy for these groups to resell stolen merchandise to unsuspecting consumers through e-commerce sites and third party sites.”
