Members of a Bay Area theft ring believed to have stolen merchandise worth millions of dollars from retailers have pleaded guilty in the case and its leader is expected to be sentenced to several years in prison, California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta announced Friday....
"Today's announcement should be a warning shot to anyone who is thinking about participating in organized retail theft and committing brazen crimes with no regard for the safety of workers, our businesses and our community. You will be held accountable," Bonta said....
...Along with Drago, Edgar Geovany Robles Morales, Isis Vasquez Villanueva, Jose Villatoro and Michelle Renee Fowler were arrested in September last year...
Fowler was sentenced to three years in state prison, but the judge agreed to spare her.. if she... spends 364 days in San Mateo County jail.
Morales and Villanueva were sentenced to probation. Villatoro was sentenced to probation and 30 days in jail.

probation probation probation.
Looks more like a warning shot to businesses to move out of those areas.
No law anywhere anymore.
It doesn’t look like there is any. 👎
So the judges more or less let these people off. Wanna stop this crap? Shoot the criminals in the act of looting, destroying property, and arson.
like the way you think...Too bad most judges don’t
Those guys are pros, they shoplift valuable stuff and resell on black market. Huge, mafia like, organization!
They should be put off for a very long time. There should be no mercy to this kind of criminal! But ...
RICO is 20 years (18 if you behave well)...but that takes the feds to step in.
Shoot looters, and don’t get caught.
But they can still shit in the street right? Asking for a friend....
Bonta: Blah blah yada yada. When the dust settles and people are looking at another circus, these creeps will get a nice benefit from such anti-punishment boobs.

Meanwhile, be sure and elect his wife to fill his former assembly seat because she’d have to find a real job if not elected. It’s the family business.
probation = Let’s do it again for more fun and profit!!

I agree with you, but this is California. If you shoot one of them, you will be doing hard time in a prison run by their confederates.
Dr Phil interviewed a guy on his Thurs show...he has been doing ‘Retail Theft’ for years & reselling the goods.
Was NOT a kid.
He told Phil he makes $250,000 annually.
E-Bay & Craig’s List must be helping all of this.
Expected to be sentenced as soon as they are found
A.P.B.’s in New York Chicago Detroit ...............
10 hours of community service as a ballot harvester.
