Philadelphia police officers are now adding shopping cart thefts to the list of crimes they're asked to solve. With gun violence continuing in the city, residents wonder if this should be officers' priority:
Residents NBC10 spoke to say it seems like a good idea to involve police -- but only if there is nothing else for them to do.
"It's minor. It’s not a big thing. If we could use police for more of the shootings, [that would be] a better system, something better,” said Northeast Philly resident April Paris. “This doesn’t take precedence over the shootings.” It may still seem unusual to see officers placing carts, not people, into the back of their police vehicles. However, stores' private security guards and cart employees tell us it's fairly common to see police officers bring them back.
Police say the carts thefts can lead to or are used in other crimes, so when officers see them, they are to alert the proper officers or move them if possible.
