A man from San Jose has been taken into custody for a string of thefts from retail stores.

Last week, authorities in San Jose made an arrest that has been a long time coming. A man in his 40s has been taken into custody on suspicion of stealing valuable goods from various businesses in the area over the course of the last eight months. It's a crime that has caused a lot of damage and loss for these businesses, and the police have been working tirelessly to track down the culprit.

It all started back in March when the San Jose Police Department's Organized Retail Theft Detail began investigating a series of retail thefts. According to police spokesperson Stacie Shih, there have been a total of 113 incidents so far. These thefts have targeted popular stores such as Home Depot, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Target. The same suspect has been linked to all of these crimes.

Thankfully, the police were able to make a breakthrough in their investigation on October 28th. They apprehended the suspect and brought him in on charges of grand theft. He is currently being held in Santa Clara County jail. This arrest would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the Organized Retail Theft Detail, who have been diligently working on this case for months.

Funding for this investigation was made possible by an $8.4 million grant from the California Board of State and Community Corrections. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan expressed his gratitude for the retail theft detail and their efforts in bringing this perpetrator to justice. He also emphasized the impact that retail theft has on the community, stating that it not only hurts the economy but also affects the sense of safety for residents.

Mayor Mahan also called for greater support for law enforcement agencies across California in addressing the issue of retail theft. He believes that more resources and tools are needed to combat this crisis and protect businesses and their customers.
