Eight minors, aged 12-18, were arrested for a series of 23 Walgreens robberies in the Bay Area, with alleged stolen goods valued at $84,000.
The group was identified after a robbery at Walgreens where two suspects seriously assaulted a store employee, linking them to earlier crimes.
SFPD attributes detective work and collaboration with Walgreens Asset Protection in tracing a pattern that led to the recognition of these young suspects.
The case highlights a concerning trend of organized retail crime involving minors, raising questions about youth crime intervention and community safety.
