In the Crossroads Shopping Center, organized retail crime and retail theft have troubled local businesses, drawing significant attention from the authorities. Yesterday afternoon, the Investigations Bureau and Patrol teams of the Pleasant Hill Police Department joined forces with multiple Loss Prevention partners in an operation devised to curb these malicious activities.

This joint operation resulted in a total of 13 arrests for varying charges, including petty theft, narcotics, and active warrants, according to Pleasant Hill Police Department's Facebook post.

The individuals apprehended by authorities will have charges filed with the District Attorney’s office. 

The holiday seasons lie ahead, and with this operation as an example, the Pleasant Hill Police Department is sending a clear message to those seeking to steal.
