The Santa Clara County Sheriff Department’s Retail Theft Task Force conducted a blitz operation targeting thieves at the Target store on McKee and N. Capitol in City of San José earlier this month.
A total of 12 people were arrested and close to $5,300 worth of merchandise recovered.
The Sheriff Department revealed that over the counter medicine, beauty products, an electric shaver, clothes, a vacuum, a drone, and even Oatmeal Cream Pies and a pizza were among the stolen merchandise.
A wave of shoplifting has forced Target to lock up many items behind secure cabinets.
Target is the nation’s second-largest retailer behind Walmart and has 1,963 stores in the U.S.
