SEATTLE - The Seattle Police Department is cracking down on ongoing organized shoplifting groups, leading to a retail theft operation that resulted in 53 arrests in a single day and thousands of dollars recovered in stolen merchandise.

"These are organized groups that hit retailers with the sole purpose of stealing to either resell them or use them as currency for other things," said Sgt. Randy Huserik, public information officer for the Seattle Police Department.

The big bust occurred at nine stores on Wednesday in just under 15 hours. Of the 53 people arrested, 16 of them were booked in King County Jail. Four of them had warrants.

"We had officers, both in plainclothes working with those stores’ loss prevention personnel and then a uniformed officer acting as arrest teams to target the suspects that are committing these crimes," explained Huserik. "An officer is up in their surveillance room that’s watching it. They’re easily and quickly communicating with our officers that are in the store via radio making them aware of suspect description, the items that they’re concealing, where they’re concealing them, the location on the store at that point. And once they start heading to the door, that’s when officers will move in and make the arrest."

Huserik said large retailers and grocery stores have been losing thousands of dollars in merchandise due to ongoing problems with organized theft groups. He said some places are still struggling to recover from the pandemic.

Slavery Was Punishment; America Has Nothing to Feel Guilty About

Those who have no respect for others' property deserve to become property.
 
Progressivism means the break down of civil society
Well they are PROGRESSING toward our destruction.
Who Are They Really?

They know it, too. Don't take their idealistic preaching as a key to their motivation. They are bitter and vindictive misfits whose only goal is to destroy the healthy society that rejected them. Dare ask why such a tiny group has any power at all.

See that's why schools shouldn't read Dicken's Oliver Twist, besides the anti semitic slant, it's teaching them to organize theft rings with the ring leader taking his chunk of their rake in and as protection promise of their bail, if they get caught.

That’s it 53 I have seen whole gangs running into stores grabbing a handful of items and running out taking mere seconds to get in and out there really is not much that can be done unless the police cordon off the area outside the stores...
 
Likely just an extention of the Cloward-Piven Strategy that the Biden administration has been blatantly running, in synergy with their counterparts in leadership ositions in local and state government.

Relevant reading - The Cloward-Piven Strategy

In fact I'd bet on it given that this is seems clearly to be an organized endeavor.

Seattle, too? Pft. No doubt in my mind.

I'd keep an eye out for any reporting of this going on up in Gov. Kate Brown's state as well.

She's been clearly and openly running the strategy.

In Philly they call them rat packs, premeditated by gangs not organized crime.
 
Was that before or after Frank Sinatra and the gang were in Vegas...lol....
It was like a sudden flash dance, but with scurrying snatch and grabs instead of dance routine. Amazing how reference to these "ratpacks" are burried by the search engines.
