Target have announced it will team up with Homeland Security to tackle soaring theft after it was forced to shut several stores.
The retail giant announced have also promised to make “significant investments in cyber defense” as it scrambles to tackle spiralling crime.
On Tuesday, the beloved chain issued a statement to customers listing the ways it will strive to combat criminality in its stores.
“At Target, we take the decision to close stores very seriously, and only do so after taking meaningful steps to invest in the guest experience and improve business performance,” the statement began.
“With that said, we have made the difficult decision to close nine Target stores across four states, effective Oct. 21.
“In this case, we cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance.
“We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.”
The company then lists its store policy changes, namely its decision to team up with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations.
It comes after Target made the shocking announcement that it will pull the plug on nine stores in major cities due to the spiralling crime.
Closures in New York City, Seattle, and Portland, are coming after Target CEO Brian Cornell warned that historically high crime rates could force other execs to make tough decisions.
“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” Target said in a news release.
“We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.”
One location in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood will close, alongside three in San Francisco, two in Seattle, and three more in Portland, Oregon.
Have your governors in you pathic blue states lock up the Fing criminals like they are supposed to and you won’t have a problem. I don’t care what race they are but if more blacks are being taken to jail and prison then I guess the families will have to start parenting better and keep their children on leashes since they seem to be getting out! I am sure parents are probably also driving kids around too so lock up the entire damn family if you have to! ENOUGH OF THIS BS! The dems have done an outstanding job turning this country into a Fing cesspool overrun by criminals and illegals run by a criminal president that is still in office while GOPs role over on their backs! F both parties!
Now comes the true POLICE STATE.
