Organized retail theft is rampant up and down California, and Fresno has not been left out of the shocking trend.
In an effort to connect with and educate the local retail community, Fresno City Councilman Mike Karbassi hosted a Retail Theft Summit at Fresno City Hall Tuesday evening.
Karbassi was joined by the California Retailers Association, the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, Fresno Deputy Police Chief Burke Farrah, Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp and the California Highway Patrol.
