The stores will close on Oct. 21 and span four states, including New York, which will lose its East Harlem location at 517 E. 117th St. Target said it invested “heavily” in strategies to stop the the shoplifting in its stores, adding more security guards and “theft deterrent tools” but to no avail. The company said it’s concerned about the “safety” of its employees as retail theft becomes more aggressive.Target was among the first major retailers to publicly blame crime for a deterioration in its financial results, with its chief executive, Brian Cornell, sounding the alarm in May when he said the company would be closely monitoring the “safety” of its employees as it weighs its options.
