In one photo posted by Richie Greenberg, the chains can clearly be seen across the front of the section with locks securing it to the wall.

Walgreens isn’t the only retailer in the Bay Area taking new steps to combat theft. Safeway also announced this week that it has taken new anti-theft measures in some of its Bay Area stores. The grocery chain says the goal of the new measures is to ensure a safe and positive experience for customers and employees.

KRON4 reached out to Walgreens and received the following statement from a spokesperson:

“Retail crime is one of the top challenges facing our industry today. We are focused on the safety of our patients, customers and team members. We continue to take preventative measures to safely deter theft and aim to deliver the best patient and customer experience. And we are working closely with law enforcement, elected officials and community leaders to draw greater attention to and improve our response to retail crime.”

Nearly half of all funding for Artificial Intelligence and machine learning startups worldwide in the first three months of this year went to San Francisco companies, according to the venture capital database Pitchbook.

 

Out of the $22.7 billion that investors put into these companies in the first quarter of 2023, $11.1 billion went to San Francisco-based firms, according to the data. That means San Francisco AI companies are on pace to break their 2021 funding record of $11.9 billion over 411 deals.
