#Walgreens Shutters 10 Stores in San Francisco as residents Point to Open & Rampant Shoplifting - Bare Shelves - 60 sec vid clip March 04, 2021 **Pharmacy giant Walgreens has closed its 10th store in the San Francisco area, prompting residents to blame rampant shoplifting caused by the city's soft-on-crime policies.** “All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters, ” a regular customer, Sebastian Luke, told the San Francisco Chronicle. One October incident was caught on video as Inside Edition reporters were following a story on the rampant larcenies. A thief, donning black clothing, was seen on video scaling a counter, grabbing an air vent, and leaving the store on a scooter as shelves in the store were left bare from similar sprees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FCl2lbRvWY&feature=emb_rel_end https://youtu.be/9ICQDYeAPDE The empty shelves at a Walgreens Drugstore in California were not caused by pandemic-related panic-shopping. The store is closing because of what local reports are calling a spree of “rampant shoplifting.” Moments after an Inside Edition crew arrived at one drug store, a man was seen jumping the counter to take an airbed and walking away without being asked any questions. There are lots of YouTube videos capturing incidents like these at other Walgreens stores. More here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/walgreens-store-closures-san-francisco-shoplifting
