A San Francisco Walgreens was forced to lock up its freezer section after criminals came in each night to shoplift the entire supply of pizza and ice cream.
Richie Greenberg, the man who shot the video, said his neighborhood has descended into a "drug-addict frenzy."shows the glass doors of the frozen food section chained shut after workers complained that the store gets robbed nearly 20 times a day.
Another portion of the clip shows entire aisles locked behind plexiglass fixtures and floor-to-ceiling glass cabinets. Customers must go to a store employee to unlock the display to buy many products, such as hair dye, makeup, shaving cream and over-the-counter medicine. Walgreens workers said the store was typically robbed 20 times a day, with criminals clearing out pizza and ice cream in the frozen food section each night.
"I've been terribly inconvenienced as a shopper to need to wait and wait for clerks to come open the locks at each area of the store for the products I need. I've stood in line inside for pharmacy pickup and watched thieves walk out of the store with arms loaded up. I've driven by the same store, seeing stolen merchandise in the arms of homeless crossing the street. I'm disgusted by the San Francisco City Hall officials who ignore the problem," Greenberg said.
