San Francisco police on Friday said that their burglary unit officers have made 60 shoplifting and theft arrests since late November.
Without identifying anyone, the police sent a news release saying that 13 people were arrested on felons and 47 people received misdemeanor citations.
Police conduct these "theft abatement operations" at department clothing stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies. The National Retail Federation sets last year's losses at almost $95 billion. Organized crime theft rose 26%.
