WATCH – Alleged Shoplifters Exit Oregon Lowe’s with Full Carts: ‘There’s No Real Consequence’

“No, I don’t think so,” the employee said as the men exited the store. “Not worth it,” she told a fellow worker when he tried to follow them:

Later in the video, three men appeared to toss the merchandise into the back of a red vehicle.

“Funny and disturbing at the same time,” the person behind the camera commented moments before the car drove away.

The incident reportedly happened on August 25.

“I think these guys have done it before because they seemed to have a good system. One guy with the car and two guys with the carts. They knew no one was going to touch them,” Sullivan commented.

According to the Fox article, Lowe’s reported what happened and an investigation was opened.

However, Keizer Police Lieutenant Andrew Copeland said in Oregon, many jails were not receiving offenders such as shoplifters as a way to scale back on their populations due to the coronavirus.

Copeland explained the individuals would probably face fines, be cited, then let go.

“Once you’ve stolen from Lowe’s once and know they can’t stop you, there’s no real consequence,” Copeland stated, adding employees at some chain stores were not allowed to try and stop shoplifters. “Second thing is, these people know they can’t go to jail.”

Meanwhile, the crime wave in San Francisco, California, continued as police presence dwindled and thieves looted stores which caused Target properties in the area to cut hours in order to reduce losses.

“This development comes after Walgreens announced it is closing stores because of the inability to keep people from continuously stealing from its stores,” according to Breitbart News.

In July, police in San Francisco began investigating an apparent handbag robbery at a Neiman Marcus store.

“Witnesses told authorities the incident happened right before the store’s closing and claimed the suspects smashed display cases and grabbed items off the racks before leaving,” Breitbart News reported.
