SAN FRANCISCO—On Friday, December 1, the San Francisco Police Department announced that the Burglary Unit (Fencing & Organized Retail Crime investigators) and officers from Tenderloin and Southern Police Stations pre-planned a shoplifting enforcement operation to help reduce crime and theft in the region.

A retail store located on the 700 Mission St. was selected for the operation due to the high number of shoplifting incidents the store previously experienced.

On November 28, the operation, named “Blitz ‘23” was successful in arresting a total of 17 adult suspects. Two of the suspects had outstanding arrest warrants. The stolen property was seized by officers during the operation and returned to the store. The SFPD will continue such operations throughout city to reduce thefts for businesses.
