Ten of these closures transpired from 2019 to this year with the last Walgreens store to close its door as of this writing, back on March 17. The cause of the closures is due to rampant shoplifting and looting that has transpired at Walgreen locations in the city believed to be perpetuated by an organized crime ring.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On Thursday, May 13 a hearing was held by the Board of Supervisors with retailers, the SFPD, the district attorney\u2019s office, and probation departments. Brendan Dugan, director of organized retail crime and corporate investigations, believes that San Francisco is at the center of organized retail crime. He brought up a&nbsp;state bust in the Bay Area&nbsp;from last year in which&nbsp;$8 million&nbsp;in stolen merchandise was confiscated from five suspects. The merchandise came from CVS, Target and Walgreens stores from all across San Francisco.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">In the fall of last year, actress Cynthia Nixon denounced author J.K.
