Theft-plagued Walgreens shuts down five MORE stores in San Francisco
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Walgreens is closing another five of its stores in San Francisco because of financial losses due to constant shoplifting

  • Viral videos taken throughout the summer show shoplifters brazenly sauntering out of stores with armfuls of stolen goods

  • Walgreens closed 17 stores in the past five years due to rising shoplifting cases, leaving 53 stores still open

  • The surge in shoplifting arose after a local law downgraded the theft of property less than $950 in value from a felony charge to a misdemeanor in 2014

  • Critics say that city officials are not proposing effective ways to curb such crime
