hoping that some of the stores willsider. but walgreens says they have no choice to close those stores. >> we're going miss it >> shoppers upset over the pending closure on clement street in san francisco. but many know why these doors are closing for good. >> this doesn't have to do with the the business or location or the economy. it has to do with people taking out whatever they want and they can't stop them at all. >> rampant re tail theft is why they've chosen to close one near ocean after. caesar chavez in the mission and goff street in in hays valley where our reporter shot this viral theft video over the summer the mayor says that suspect was arrested. >> so i want people who are sadly committing these crimes to keep this in mind because it

impacts their grandmothers or family members who can't get medicines. >> it's impacting wilma who has been shopping at her mission street walgreens since 1971. >> i have to cry when somebody told me that the walgreens is closing. >> in a statement walgreens says due to ongoing retail crime, we've made the difficult decision to close five stores across san francisco. each store will transfer prescriptions to a nearby walgreens and we expect to place the store's team members in other locations. >> unfortunately, i can't control what they do or what they say. i just know that we are here to work with wall green. >> the mayor and supervisor matt haney believes there is children. room to negotiate. >> i will be reaching out to walgreens. i've expressed to them how important it is that you stay in the communities. >> over the summer, target announced it's changing its hours closing early because of theft about shoplifting.

>> walgreens says retail left the across its san francisco stores has increased five times the chain average compared other area where is they operate. dean preston tweeted that his office seeking more clarity from walgreens on us closures suggest there may be a way to cut cost instead of stopping retail theft. in the newsroom, colonel bernard, abc7 news. larry: real dilemma stay with us, colonel, while we bring in phil matier. kristen: are you surprised to see walgreens stores closing in san francisco? colonel: no i'm not. it accelerated during the pandemic. it began with homeless people that were living next to the walgreens just walking in and taking what they needed. it expanded into that into organizeed gangs cleaning off the she was to the point where i walked into the walgreens and you could not buy anything. even the detergent was being placed by wires and the shelves

were just 'em so no, given the cost of the security, given the loss, and the question of safety of their employees, yes, i think we're going to be seeing more. larry: phil, i would like to ask you and c o rnell. does this set a dangerous precedent? might this be the tip of the iceburg saying enough is enough in san francisco? c o rnell? c o rnel: could other stores follow suit? we don't know at this point. i'm not surprised by walgreens' decision considering what we heard today. just about everyone we interviewed has witnessed shoplifting that's weekly not monthly, so it is certainly a problem. and the mayor had said that, well, if walgreens lives, it could be replaced by another store like cvs or right aid. does that mean the shoplifting problem goes away?

not so sure. >> i agree with him, it doesn't go away. it's not just walgreens and target the big stores in union square right now, some of the stores right now, they're high en. they won't even let you in the door until they've cleared who you are. you have to give them your name and they line you up outside because they can't control it. you go down the streets on ross dress for less and they have off-duty officers costing about $1,000 a day guarding the front. this is spreading throughout. it's becoming the new normal. chances are if you go into one of those stores in san francisco, and you want to go buy something, the clerk will have to give it to you. they take it to the front counter as a way that's a strange way to be doing business. >> look, there's guarding. there is locking things up. let's talk about real solutions. is it just about more security or something else? phil? phil: no, i've been talking to police, it's not. bottom line is this, we in san

francisco do not believe in putting people in jail for nonviolent crimes. the district attorney has pretty much said that pretrial detention is not going to do it for nonviolent crimes. you're not going to sit in jail. you're going to be issued a citation and allowed to go back on the streets in the hope that you change your ways. those that don't go right back out and steal again that is the frustrating thing. you can arrest. but there needs be consequences but whether san francisco wants to face those consequences and put them up remains to be seen. >> a lot of retailers are asking the question whoa what is more cost effective? do we close the door or invest more in security? walgreens says it is investing a lot of money in security to protect shoppers and one supervisor, we told you about yesterday, proposing that sheriff's deputies be contracted with businesses to protect scores like walgreens and others so will that work? we'll have to wait and see.

>> walgreens certainly a shot across the bow for the city. thank you, both, phil and c o rnell. kristen: new developmentings. the laskatas mother who encouraged young teens to participate in sex acts is suspected of doing the same thing in idah o the ada county sheriff's office was actively investigating when santa clara prosecutors sent the arrest warrant for 47-year-old shannon o'connor last thursday. she was arrested while 12 teens were currently in her idah o home. her children have been taken intocustody according to the d.a.'s office, o'connor invited teens to their home, pushed them to drink until they became sick or blacked out and watch them engage in sexual acts. o'connor faces 39 criminal charges including felony child endangerment and sexual assault. >> the head football coach at el

>> and seeing the corrals bleaching, it's just -- it's really shocking and sad. this is a corral skeleton. it's made of calcium carb o nate. >> she says the white of the dead corral contrasts with colors often visible a few feet beneath the surface. algae attaches its to corral and leaves in healthy reefs. a similar symbiotic relationship that disrupts when the waters are too warm. >> it'ses no positive for the corral anymore so the corral release that algae. >> sometimes with deadly consequences. a new report sponsored by the notion is revealing that 14% of the world's corral reefs have disappeared in the space of a decade. among the main drives, ocean warming and corral bleaching. >> corral reef study was one of the largest of its kind and it may serve as a global warming. researchers have been hard at
