Retail stores in Washington, D.C. are displaying images of products on their shelves instead of the items themselves, as the U.S. capital continues to suffer a plague of shoplifting and robberies. CVS Pharmacy on H Street Northeast has even placed pictures of toilet paper on otherwise empty shelves in an to prevent theft:
Another CVS location in D.C.’s Columbia Heights has placed many items behind locked cages, the aisles of empty shelves decorated with profane graffiti. Crime in the American capital has reached crisis levels. Violent crime is up 41 percent over last year – the city has seen a 33 percent increase in homicides and a 70 percent increase in robberies. According to D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department theft is up 21 percent, with 10,673 incidents reported so far in 2023. Motor vehicle theft has seen a 101 percent increase compared to 2022.
Misbehavior requires discipline and punishment. Until the city leaders understand this, crime will continue and expand.
