King County prosecutors use new unit to crack down on theft suspects FOX13
Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said the criminals are preying on businesses and people, stealing items and information for a quick buck. Now the office is taking a new approach to crack down on theft in the region.
Organized retail theft is a growing issue for businesses across the region. Manion said the goal of the Economic Crimes and Wage Theft Division is to hold thieves accountable. "In 2022, we filed twice as many organized retail theft cases than we did in 2021. And it’s because we put a focus on that crime; it’s also because we were trading information with the Seattle City Attorney’s Office and others so that we could crack down on this crime in kind of a regional effort," said Manion.
