California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Tuesday announced a new partnership between the Justice Department and more than a dozen retailers and online marketplaces to crack down on organized retail crime in the state.
To support prosecution, partners including Target, Albertsons and Amazon have signed a pledge that "increases information sharing" between law enforcement, retailers that experience theft and online marketplaces where stolen merchandise can be resold.
"Organized retail crime will not be tolerated," Bonta said at a news conference. "Not by business, not by law enforcement, not by me. Today, we're making that abundantly clear."
