630 thursday. people from three vehicles ran into the store, grabbed everything they could, and then sped off. police say they got away with about 30 luxury bags in the moments after the smash and grab, police chased one of the cars. suspects took off and headed toward the bay bridge where one of the vehicles crashed in this tower cam video, you can see two people running causing the traffic to stop on the ramp to the lower deck. police recovered the stolen bags from a white charger, a store employee told me the merchandise was worth about $275,000. >> it's unfortunate. it's large market for these stolen goods to go out and to be fenced and resold and it's creating kind of an outsized incentive for people to commit crimes like this. >> people walking past the dior store were stunned when they saw the damage. >> that's aggressive, that's professional. >> it's so sad. it's heartbreaking to and the expense is, you know, just that gate is going to cost thousands of dollars. >> a store employee told me the thieves actually tried to break

into three other luxury stores. first, after having no luck at fendi, goyard and yves saint laurent, they moved on to dior. this all as the mayor announced an expansion of a plan to crack down on crime. >> we know there's still a need to get support on the streets immediately. >> mayor london breed proposed an expansion of san francisco's reserve police officer program to increase foot patrols. it's different than the current sf police ambassador program. >> the difference with the reserves is that they wear uniforms, they can make arrests, they can do a lot more than some of our ambassadors in light of some challenges that we continue to deal with. having more foot speed on the ground, more officers on the ground is going to help us around public safety. and that's the goal the mayor wants to make the volunteer reserve police officer program a paid program. >> now, the plan needs to be approved by the san francisco board of supervisors. if approved, the mayor's proposal would allow for the immediate deployment of 30 reserve police officers to high profile foot beat assignments through the city in the newsroom, suzanne phan abc seven news.

>> all right, suzanne, thank you. retail theft is a growing concern here in the bay area in alameda county, district attorney pamela price announced a new team to tackle the problem and address some of the unique challenges the county faces. abc seven news reporter answer hassan has that story. it is part of building a better bay area. the evidence illustrates how retail crime can continues to be a big problem in alameda county and now da pamela price may have a new solution to essentially choke off the demand that is driving a lot of what we see happening in our community is the alameda county district attorney's office is putting together a first of its kind organized retail theft prosecution team funded by $2 million from a state grant and a matching $2 million from the da's office. >> our goal is to dismantle, disrupt it, and deter this type of activity. this criminality from occurring and where appropriate, to divert those that are engaging in this type of criminality. da price says.

what will be different is an attempt to connect the dots between other facets of organized retail crime when it's not on its surface, just the theft of a good but there are intricate networks behind the scenes, people engaging in multiple acts of unlawful conduct, whether it be stealing a car to then engage in the theft activity. >> our team will utilize different investigative tools to make those connections. >> those include monitoring suspect patterns and conduct, analyze data to support investigations and partnerships between law enforcement agencies, advancing prosecution on a specific track where the same district attorney is going to represent that case through every major stage as it advances through the criminal legal system. >> that's what makes this makes this first of its kind for alameda county da price, says alameda county also faces some unique challenges that make it vulnerable to organized retail theft, including its size and geographic location. >> proxy committee that we are to so many other major cities.

>> you know, we are the thoroughfare and as well as the stopping place. >> the da's office also points out that the project will take months to train on and even longer before real results are achieved. in alameda county on sayed hassan, abc seven news, the organizers are looking to remove da price from office, has started gathering signatures for a petition. >> we are launching. we're ready. the wait is over and we are going to recall da pamela price safe or save alameda for everyone has until march 5th to gather more than 70,000 signatures to get the recall on the ballot next year. >> they will need signatures from at least 10% of the registered voters in the county. critics say prices crime, fighting approach isn't working. and crime in alameda county has gotten worse since she took office. price responded to the news that the recall effort has now taken a step forward, saying she's focusing on solutions and. >> breaking news. congressman steve scalise has ended his bid

to become the next speaker of the house. he'd been nominated but was struggling to secure enough votes from fellow republicans to be elected. scalise broke the news just a short time ago. >> i just shared with my colleagues that i'm withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designee. if you look at over the last few weeks, if you look at where our conference is, there's still work to be done, our conference still has to come together and is not there. there are still some people that have their own agendas. and i was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs. this country is counting on us to come back together for this house of representative needs a speaker and we need to open up the house again. but clearly, not everybody is there without a speaker. >> the house cannot conduct business. it's been nine days since members removed kevin mccarthy from the role. scalise

wouldn't answer. when asked who he will endorse for speaker. >> we'll move now to the latest on the conflict in the middle east. israel today swore in a unity government following last weekend's surprise attack by hamas. the total number of dead from both sides is now at 2800 and thousands more wounded. 27 american citizens have died in the violence and another 14 are missing. you us secretary of state antony blinken is in the region. he met with israel's prime minister today before heading to jordan. he says they discussed military support from the united states, but also the dire situation for people living in gaza. >> we did discuss ways to address the humanitarian needs of people living in gaza to protect them from harm while israel conducts its legitimate security operations to defend itself from terrorism and to try to ensure that this never happens again. there are efforts underway to rescue the 150 or so people taken hostage by hamas and other militant groups. >> israel continues to build up its forces for a likely ground

offensive in in gaza, and law enforcement around the country here at home is preparing for protests and possible violence after hamas issued a call to all supporters to hold a day of action. >> obviously, if anything turns violent, we will stand for that and we'll take appropriate action in order to protect lives and property. but people are coming out to make their voices heard and practice their first amendment rights. we will absolutely facilitate those and we'll be on hand to make sure it's done in a in a peaceful and safe manner for anyone who comes out. many local and federal law enforcement agencies across the us are stepping up patrols of jewish houses of worship. >> jewish owned businesses and israeli diplomatic buildings. now, coming up at 630, you're going to hear from a man looking for his sister in law. she went to the music festival near the border with gaza last weekend. he has not heard from her since, but he is certainly not giving up hope. >> all right. now to a story from the i team, san francisco police may consider using a new tool that's described as flying handcuffs, aptly named.

>> it's a remote restraint device known as the bolo wrap, designed to be an alternative to lethal weapons. but critics say the until the i team may not be as safe as promise. >> yeah. reporter stephanie sierra saw a live demonstration from the company's ceo and joins us live to show us how it works. >> steph that's right. i'll tell you, it's loud and it's fast, but it's a handheld device that operates like a lasso inside. it has a cartridge like this that deploys a cord with sharp anchors at the end. and i'll tell you, these are very sharp. the idea is officers would have it on hand as an alternative to using a taser baton or even a gun. so is it really safer? we asked experts on both sides, i'm not going to jail. >> i'm not going to hospital either, sir, i need you to turn around and put your hands behind your back. no, sir. i'm not going back to the hospital. and put your hands behind your back. you're going to get wrapped. no, i'm the hospital wrap. >> wrap, wrap. >> that was not a gunshot, but the deployment of what's called a bolo wrap, a non-lethal alternative to a taser gun or

baton. >> it's been described as kind of flying handcuffs. >> it's an electronic handheld lasso device that shoots out a 7.5ft cord that wraps around the intended target with two anchors that look like fishing hooks. it requires a three foot clearance around the person to properly deploy, pull that back. i tried it myself. >> hold it tight. it's loud and it's fast at shooting out about 400ft per second. >> i turned the device on. you see, there's a seven point laser here. so where that is displayed is where that will point to the individual while allowing the officer to know this is the wrap zone. >> kevin mullins is the company's ceo. so typically you see a wrap zone kind of mid thigh to ankle or just above the elbow to the wrist. >> the device has been pitched to the san francisco police department with the idea officers would deploy it if dealing with individual males who are non-compliant, undergoing a mental health crisis or on drugs. i truly believe no other city in the world could benefit as much from bolo wrap as what san francisco

would. >> each device costs around $1,300 and is now being used in 1100 law enforcement agencies across the us, including 60 in california and the bay area. like the san mateo and solano county sheriff's offices and the walnut creek, menlo park and pinole police departments allowing that individual to be detained without pain or injury. >> you might get a slap on the hand or a slap on the head with something, but it's not going to be catastrophic. >> it's not gonna be a major injury, like something going to your eye or something like that. >> my issue is losing an eye. >> retired 29 year veteran lapd detective and use of force expert timothy t williams disagrees as it wraps around the legs. >> it's it wraps around the torso if you're not deployed properly, it could also wrap around the facial area. it could cause permanent damage to the eyes. >> you know, you talked about how it's non pain inducing. what about the concerns some have raised about the hooks, possibly hitting someone's eye or the ropes scraping someone's neck

for example? >> well, we work on a lot of training, you know, and that's part of what our protocol is, is we have different levels of training out to an agency. >> what about incidents of choking? have you had any of those? >> it never had an incident like that. it's just physics won't allow it. it will wrap, but it's not going to wrap tight enough around the neck to be able to choke. and then it's not going to constrict. >> how can you be sure it doesn't get into someone's eye? >> it's by turning the laser on. it's extremely accurate. it's extremely consistent. >> well, what happens if their aim is off right, in a fast moving situation they ever had that happen? here's another perspective. >> i mean, it's the same narrative all the time. they are interested in making a profit. they are not interested in public safety. so they're going to say whatever they need to in order to push their product forward, williams points out the company's demonstrated actions online and in person show someone with their skin covered. >> but if a person doesn't have the benefit of that, covering, then those barbs will go into the skin. mullen says the

anchors have a safety cap on the end that would prevent any penetration. the worst thing you may potentially see is if one of those small anchors were to go through the clothing and catch the skin on, the worst thing you would see would just be a band-aid, a very small prick and he says the company has never had any report of serious injuries. we've had no lawsuits, no deaths, unlike tasers. the company says bolo wraps are not considered to be electronic control devices or ecds. in fact, mullen says 98% of the interactions between subjects and law enforcement are not considered uses of force. >> it is really unnecessary. >> but concerns have been raised about the effect those sharp anchors and loud noises that could easily be mistaken for a gunshot may have on individuals struggling. have been shield. >> now you guys ready? >> like this video published by the company? mola mola, mola where you see the eripolice department in pennsylvania responding to a call from a mom whose autistic son was outside

throwing objects at cars. bola, bola, bola. we shared it with dr. tomoya hirota, a child psychiatrist and the medical director of ucsf's autism center, and dr. lawrence fung, assistant professor of psychiatry at stanford. >> it's really hard to see dr. fung thinks the bola wrap could overstimulate anyone undergoing a mental health crisis. >> i'm a bit worried about if we say this is a great device and then we just use it without considering any other options. >> don't go to the hospital. >> same situation in this other video from missouri where the columbia police department responds to a trespassing call at a local convenience store that turned into an attempted break in. they get bullied. >> bola, bola, bola. the more aggressive the intervention may be, the worse the reaction from person that may have intellectual disability or other mental health conditions. >> so you can see strong arguments on both sides here.

while the idea itself sounds like a simple solution, things are never simple in san francisco, it would be a complicated process to get this passed. first, needing approval from the police commission. but i will say mullen says chief scott was impressed and even got wrapped himself a couple of interesting see what it's like. exactly. and i want to show you guys fascinating just how sharp these anchors are. >> yeah, they are like fishing hooks. >> yeah. well, it's a fascinating technology, i have to say. >> it is. >> and it moves quickly. as you saw in the clips there. so we'll see how this moves forward. yeah, thanks. >> keep us posted. thanks stephanie. >> a north bay nonprofit finding success, renting shared homes like this one to folks formerly homeless. i'm cornell bernard. that story coming up. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. it warmed up today, but cloudier cooler weather with a few showers are on the way. i'll show you where and rsv can be a dangerous virus...

we've got to be honest here. they're not sky high for team. he'll team teal. they're clearly in rebuilding mode. they need to heal on the schedule. not kind early seven of the sharks first eight games against teams that made the playoffs last year but head coach david quinn sees this as an opportunity. >> the schedule is what it is. i mean, you can't you got to play these teams eventually and you know, if you're sitting here worried about who you're playing and you wish you had a different schedule, you're already behind the eight ball. so you know, to me, if i'm a player, what better way to start the season than play at home against the defending stanley cup champion? that's why you play this game. and if you're hiding from these types of challenges and we got the wrong people here highlights at 11 on sunday night against the cowboys. >> george kittle wore a t shirt under his jersey. we can't show it on tv because dan doesn't want to pay the fcc. fine. but let's just say it has. it had an anti dallas message on it. when he lifted up his jersey, the nfl is considering fining kittle $10,000. and today he said he expects it and the fine would be 100% worth it. you know, you can get fined ten grand. you don't

even care. you're making a lot of money. 40 niners visit cleveland sunday. they'll get their first taste of actual fall weather. the forecast for cleveland, sandhya tells me 55 and rainy all weekend. ooh. traffic and weather on the sevens. sounds like it could be a low scoring game. both of these teams have really good defenses. in fact, the browns number one in yards allowed per game tied for second, allowing only 15 points per game. the niners actually number one in that category, just under 14 points allowed per game. but you know, anytime you got to deal with myles garrett, it can make for a really long day. >> i mean, this game is to me the biggest challenge we've had so far. i mean, i thought that was going to be dallasoo, going into it. but then you look at this and you look, you know, the defensive numbers just jump out. you don't see very much that their number 1 or 2 and everything. so it should be a hell of a battle. when you look at a defense like that, a team who's committed to running the ball like they are, i mean, that's like the prime best way to get into the playoffs and that's why i expect this team to be there throughout this year. >> sounds like browns quarterback deshaun watson is

not going to play sunday. already reports that he won't go, but nothing is actually confirmed formed yet. watson didn't practice today hasn't actually since mid september hurt his shoulder in week three against tennessee didn't play in week four in cleveland. had a bye last week. looks like former panther pj walker will probably start with d.t.r dorian thompson-robinson the rookie out of ucla as the backup probably want to look away giants fans right now. the fight for the american league pennant features two of your beloved former managers, bruce bochy, in his first year with the rangers enjoying the bubbly and dusty baker guiding the defending champion houston astros. that series starts on sunday. and while poach was front and center on the rangers celebration, jordan baker ceded the stage to pitcher justin verlander, who didn't care. he was on live tv. here is the bleeped out version. >> this is one of those seasons, you know, nothing went our way early. we battled through injuries. yeah, we grinded. i wasn't even here. >> he was acquired during the season, but he gave a rousing

speech. and what was he saying? i could hear the words. well, if you would just pay the fine, then we would actually show it as it aired on live television. by the way, in the national league, the phillies are leading the braves two one in the sixth, and philadelphia wins that game. they would advance to the national league championship series. and the giants are still looking for a new manager. while boesch and dusty will go out in the alcs. it's good to see them doing well. yeah, no, it's great. i mean, we love them. >> all right. thanks larry. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight, the golden bachelor followed at nine by bachelor in paradise. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. that'll do it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. >> i'm ammodytes and i'm dan ashley for sandy patel. larry will all of us here we appreciate your time. have a great evening. we'll see you again at 11. >> oh, wow. wow.
