On Thursday, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson unveiled a new task force to crack down on organized crime that is costing the state billions.

Last year, organized retail crime cost the state $2.7 billion, which is why Ferguson created the Organized Retail Crime Task Force — a collaborative effort with law enforcement agencies across multiple jurisdictions.

Organized crime could look like three men coordinating an early morning break-in, or it could occur on a smaller scale, like at the downtown Seattle Target, where police arrested a man after he stole alcohol 22 times over the course of a few days.
