Three men have been arrested in connection with an organized retail theft ring targeting Lowe's, Home Depot, and Harbor Freight stores in California. Investigators recovered $500,000 in stolen merchandise during a search at a hardware supply business. Oakland businesses and residents are increasingly requesting bulletproof glass due to a rise in violent crime and theft. The surge in demand for bulletproof glass is attributed to the city's crime. Additionally, there have been reports of thefts and burglaries in San Francisco and San Jose, leading to increased security measures such as steel-reinforced doors and extra surveillance.
