Tuesday’s agreement calls for retailers and online marketplaces to work with the state to help identify stolen goods being resold online and the sophisticated crime rings behind the operation…
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced what he called an unprecedented agreement Tuesday with large retailers and online marketplaces aimed 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.”
