Orange County retailers seeing increase in organized retail theft ahead of holiday shopping season

With the holidays just over a month away shoppers have their own strategies to tackle busy stores and shopping centers.

Lusero Lucas said, "For sure during the week early in the morning. That's when we know usually when people don't want to wake up so early so we try to get to be the first people in here." Also, Kim Farrell said, "I love to kind of keep an eye out for good deals all year long so if I see a good deal I kind of start stockpiling a little pile in the garage and then usually Black Friday."

As the holiday shopping season gets underway Orange County Sheriff's Department Captain Christopher McDonald warns of an uptick in retail thefts. "In the last eight weeks or so we've arrested 14 people that were responsible for over 50 incidents of theft here in the city of Mission Viejo. And those people that were arrested were also responsible for thefts in other states and other counties," McDonald said.

Jury selection begins for Pierce County Sheriff trialNearly two years after Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer prompted a massive police response by reporting a Black man threatened to kill him, his trial for false reporting has been delayed one more week after an illness struck the defendant. He's not going to show up, he is probably already in GITMO snitching on everybody after being CAUGHT red handing being part of the advance FBI team who did the VEGAS SHOOTING. Sounds CRA right? Until you listen to the FBI AGENT HIMSELF ratting out the FBI.
