A retail theft operation in San Ysidro earlier this month netted 80 arrests and the recovery of more than $36,000 in allegedly stolen goods, California Highway Patrol investigators announced Tuesday.
The operation took place from March 17 to 21 at the Las Americas Outlets on Camino De La Plaza, Officer Jared Grieshaber said in a news release.
Investigators worked in partnership with the retailers to recover 391 items, including clothing and shoes, and 13 of the arrests were on felony charges, Grieshaber said.
“Retail theft and crime have no place in our community,” said CHP Border Division Chief Anthony Coronado. “We stand united to protect our shoppers, our retailers, and hold criminals able.”
