For those not aware: evidently there has been a huge uptick in shoplifting in NYC, particularly in CVS stores. One serial shoplifter punched a CVS employee, and the employee stabbed him to death. Needless to say, there is a lot of controversy about this in all directions. The shoplifter had 16 prior arrests, mostly for “petit larceny,” which no longer requires a bail in New York.
Retail theft is said to be a major problem in the city; and supposedly such crimes are not getting prosecuted.
On the other hand, this particular shoplifter had Gatorade and creamer.
