So far this year, officers have made 636 arrests and reovered 216,754 stolen goods, according to Newsom's office.
So far this year, the California Highway Patrol has made 636 arrests and recovered 216,754 stolen goods worth nearly $5.7 million, Gov. Gavin News om's office announced Tuesday. It's all possible due to the state's Organized Retail Crime Taskforce, which was formed in 2019 to crack down on retail theft statewide. The latest figures are a 167% increase in arrests and a 525% rise in stolen goods recovered when compared to the same time period from last year.
Our collaboration with local partners allows us to continue taking back stolen items and holding those accountable for this unacceptable crime," Newsom said. Since 2019, the CHP has been involved in more than 2,600 investigations, leading to the arrest of over 2,700 suspects and the recovery of over 827,000 stolen goods valued at $43.8 million, according to Newsom's office.
