A fed-up Walgreens customer — tired of the rampant, brazen shoplifting in northern California, with little resistance and fewer consequences — decided to do something about it Saturday when he witnessed a man putting bottles of pills into a backpack.
The customer said this stealing is raising prices for customers even further with already out-of control inflation. The man who requested the media use only his first name, Kevin — told KGO-TV, "I said [to myself], 'This is a time you can make an impact, make this happen.'"
And what an impact he made.
Kevin handed his cell phone to another person in the Alameda store and asked that person to record what was about to happen, the station said. Video shows Kevin on top of the suspected shoplifter who's dressed in a grey hoodie.
The suspect yells out, "Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" and Kevin can be heard yelling for bystanders to call police.
"I am way bigger than you, and I will f*** you up!" Kevin growls at the suspect. "I am placing you under citizen's arrest!" He also tells the suspected shoplifter that prices are going up because of crooks like him.
KGO said after more than a two-minute struggle, the suspect begins yelling out to a friend.
"He kept calling for his friend, and I thought he was fibbin'," Kevin told the station.
But the suspect wasn't lying. A man dressed in blue soon walked up to the scene and got directly involved.
"He came behind me and tried to get me in a headlock," Kevin told KGO in regard to the second assailant. Kevin is heard on video mockingly inquiring of the suspected shoplifter, "Is that your boy?"

It says Alameda in the excerpt.
“RNN” is just a wee bit behind. This was reported by KGO on March 21, 2022.
“I clicked on the link. Walgreens is not going to go after charges on the two shoplifters. Sheesh.”
Believe it or not, most utility companies won’t press charges against people stealing service.
The non-profits are being subsidized by gov’t. funds (taxpayers’ $).
They should be legally charged for aiding and abetting illegal aliens who have violated US immigration laws.
