It houses over 2,000 incarcerated people at all security levels, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Warden-Mary-Lattimore-One-Year-Audit-Central-California-Womens-Facility.pdf\">according to a report\u003c/a> by the California Office of the Inspector General.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘People were screaming for help’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 2, correctional officers informed the women in one of the units that they were going to conduct a contraband search of the entire building, according to half a dozen formerly and currently incarcerated women who spoke to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antoinette Yancey said she is a member of the Inmate Advisory Council, which communicates with prison staff about prisoners’ needs. She said everyone who was there that day complied with the order from officers to file into the cafeteria, also known as the chow hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yancey said that after nearly four hours inside the cafeteria, the women had missed their state-issued lunch and others had not been given their medication. She said she asked to speak to Sergeant Fernando Arroyo, the officer she believed to be in charge that day. Meanwhile, another woman was seen having a seizure, according to Yancey and other witnesses. Yancey told KQED that a guard called a “medical code.” Moments later, she said, 30 to 40 officers entered the cafeteria, including Sgt. Arroyo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I saw Sergeant Arroyo, I assumed that he was coming in to talk to us about lunches, food, water and things like that,” she said. Yancey said Arroyo did not address the women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers then formed a skirmish line around them, according to three of the women. Yancey said she saw Sergeant Arroyo tap officers on the shoulder before officers started screaming “Get back!” at the women, who, she said, posed no threat. Officers began to spray pepper spray and tear gas at the women, according to four accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the inmates ran away from the [chemical] bomb. Officers chased them, body slamming people who had walkers and couldn’t get down,” Yancey said, “Snatching shirts off people’s faces and [pepper] spraying them directly in the face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the chaos unfolded, Elaine De Leon Guerrero, an Iraq war veteran, said she immediately threw herself to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I ended up getting trampled on. People were screaming for help, crying, asking to please stop,” she said. “There were multiple orders being sent by different staff. Some were screaming at us, saying, get down. Others were saying, ‘Get up and file.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Leon Guerrero said she saw two women have seizures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the statement, CDCR officials acknowledged that correctional officers used chemical weapons but would not provide any more details; the agency said no rubber bullets were used and maintained that the incident did not amount to excessive force. CDCR declined to specify whether other projectiles were used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also declined to confirm whether a Sgt. Fernando Arroyo works at the Chowchilla facility or was in charge that day. \u003ca href=\"https://openpayrolls.com/employee/fernando-arroyo-9571\">Public records show\u003c/a> that a Sgt. Fernando Arroyo worked at the Chowchilla facility until at least 2023. A Chowchilla prison employee named Fernando Arroyo is listed as one of several defendants in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/roe-vs-cdcr-complaint-sacramento.pdf\">ongoing civil suit filed by 144 plaintiffs\u003c/a> in Sacramento County alleging sexual assault and sexual battery at the Chowchilla facility. Arroyo could not be reached by phone; CDCR did not respond to KQED’s request to make Arroyo available for an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘They just wouldn’t stop. It was like a war zone’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Witnesses interviewed by KQED said that eventually, officers zip-tied all the women’s hands and escorted them outside to the yard, where they were made to sit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re thinking, okay, we’re sitting, we’re defenseless, now we’re going to get answers,” inmate Johnnyne Ramirez said. Instead, Ramirez said the officers continued another round of pepper spraying and tear gas bombing. Yancey and De Leon Guerrero gave KQED a matching account of the events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really thought I was going to die that day because they were shooting. They were throwing [tear gas] grenades. They just wouldn’t stop. It was like a war zone,” Ramirez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12003230 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/USDeptofJusticeGetty-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses told KQED that the unrest in the yard went on for another hour before prison staff escorted the women back to their cells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they didn’t decontaminate us after using the chemical agents, which they’re supposed to do,” De Leon Guerrero said. “They just sent us, little at a time, back to the cells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CDCR spokesperson declined to comment on specific allegations following the system’s written statement, citing an active investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staff at the facility began an immediate week-long intensive training on appropriate incident response, according to the statement from CDRC.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An unprecedented use of force\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When told about the incident, Deputy Director for the ACLU National Prison Project Corene Kendrick said she had never seen this level of force at a women’s prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve never heard of anything this severe of an overreaction, especially when it’s in the context of something like a property search. And the women were just asking ‘what’s going on? And how much longer is this going to take?’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed to a CDCR policy that states chemical agents should not be used once a person is restrained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sara Norman, an attorney who monitors jails and prisons, said the alleged violence by CDCR staff is disturbing but not surprising. In 2020, staff at the men’s correctional facility in Soledad rounded up incarcerated Black men and locked them in a cafeteria for hours at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were zip-tied and they were interrogated about involvement with Black Lives Matter,” Norman said. “So these sorts of things tend to burst out in the current culture at CDCR.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>History of alleged abuse at the Chowchilla Facility\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Department of Justice \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003230/feds-investigate-california-prisons-where-women-say-culture-of-impunity-surrounded-abuse\">announced last week\u003c/a> that it is investigating the CDCR’s handling of sexual abuse allegations at the state women’s prisons in Chowchilla and Chino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-civil-rights-investigation-correctional-staff-sexual-abuse-two\">In a statement\u003c/a>, the DOJ said it found significant justification to open the investigation, including “hundreds of private lawsuits” and reports alleging sexual abuse by correctional officers. Last year a correctional officer at the Chowchilla facility was charged with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/25/gregory-rodriguez-california-correctional-officer-accused-sexual-assault-womens-prison\">96 criminal counts\u003c/a>, including rape, sodomy and sexual battery over a 13-year period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOJ’s investigation is appropriate given the charges brought against the correctional officer, said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, the chair of the Women’s Legislative Caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to imagine that that individual was able to get away with that without other officials knowing. And it really puts a spotlight on what is happening there,” the East Bay lawmaker told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women who were in the chow hall at the Central California Women’s Facility on Aug. 2 said they hope the CDCR’s investigation leads to transparency and accountability. All of the women said they were traumatized by the alleged attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like being around a lot of people now, so I kind of stay secluded,” De Leon Guerrero said. “I cannot go into the chow hall. I’ve tried it. I start[ed] getting anxiety and a panic attack.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It houses over 2,000 incarcerated people at all security levels, \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Warden-Mary-Lattimore-One-Year-Audit-Central-California-Womens-Facility.pdf\">according to a report\u003c/a> by the California Office of the Inspector General.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘People were screaming for help’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 2, correctional officers informed the women in one of the units that they were going to conduct a contraband search of the entire building, according to half a dozen formerly and currently incarcerated women who spoke to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antoinette Yancey said she is a member of the Inmate Advisory Council, which communicates with prison staff about prisoners’ needs. She said everyone who was there that day complied with the order from officers to file into the cafeteria, also known as the chow hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yancey said that after nearly four hours inside the cafeteria, the women had missed their state-issued lunch and others had not been given their medication. She said she asked to speak to Sergeant Fernando Arroyo, the officer she believed to be in charge that day. Meanwhile, another woman was seen having a seizure, according to Yancey and other witnesses. Yancey told KQED that a guard called a “medical code.” Moments later, she said, 30 to 40 officers entered the cafeteria, including Sgt. Arroyo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I saw Sergeant Arroyo, I assumed that he was coming in to talk to us about lunches, food, water and things like that,” she said. Yancey said Arroyo did not address the women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers then formed a skirmish line around them, according to three of the women. Yancey said she saw Sergeant Arroyo tap officers on the shoulder before officers started screaming “Get back!” at the women, who, she said, posed no threat. Officers began to spray pepper spray and tear gas at the women, according to four accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the inmates ran away from the [chemical] bomb. Officers chased them, body slamming people who had walkers and couldn’t get down,” Yancey said, “Snatching shirts off people’s faces and [pepper] spraying them directly in the face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the chaos unfolded, Elaine De Leon Guerrero, an Iraq war veteran, said she immediately threw herself to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I ended up getting trampled on. People were screaming for help, crying, asking to please stop,” she said. “There were multiple orders being sent by different staff. Some were screaming at us, saying, get down. Others were saying, ‘Get up and file.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Leon Guerrero said she saw two women have seizures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the statement, CDCR officials acknowledged that correctional officers used chemical weapons but would not provide any more details; the agency said no rubber bullets were used and maintained that the incident did not amount to excessive force. CDCR declined to specify whether other projectiles were used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also declined to confirm whether a Sgt. Fernando Arroyo works at the Chowchilla facility or was in charge that day. \u003ca href=\"https://openpayrolls.com/employee/fernando-arroyo-9571\">Public records show\u003c/a> that a Sgt. Fernando Arroyo worked at the Chowchilla facility until at least 2023. A Chowchilla prison employee named Fernando Arroyo is listed as one of several defendants in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/roe-vs-cdcr-complaint-sacramento.pdf\">ongoing civil suit filed by 144 plaintiffs\u003c/a> in Sacramento County alleging sexual assault and sexual battery at the Chowchilla facility. Arroyo could not be reached by phone; CDCR did not respond to KQED’s request to make Arroyo available for an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘They just wouldn’t stop. It was like a war zone’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Witnesses interviewed by KQED said that eventually, officers zip-tied all the women’s hands and escorted them outside to the yard, where they were made to sit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re thinking, okay, we’re sitting, we’re defenseless, now we’re going to get answers,” inmate Johnnyne Ramirez said. Instead, Ramirez said the officers continued another round of pepper spraying and tear gas bombing. Yancey and De Leon Guerrero gave KQED a matching account of the events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really thought I was going to die that day because they were shooting. They were throwing [tear gas] grenades. They just wouldn’t stop. It was like a war zone,” Ramirez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the women were just asking ‘what’s going on? And how much longer is this going to take?’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed to a CDCR policy that states chemical agents should not be used once a person is restrained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sara Norman, an attorney who monitors jails and prisons, said the alleged violence by CDCR staff is disturbing but not surprising. In 2020, staff at the men’s correctional facility in Soledad rounded up incarcerated Black men and locked them in a cafeteria for hours at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were zip-tied and they were interrogated about involvement with Black Lives Matter,” Norman said. “So these sorts of things tend to burst out in the current culture at CDCR.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>History of alleged abuse at the Chowchilla Facility\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Department of Justice \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003230/feds-investigate-california-prisons-where-women-say-culture-of-impunity-surrounded-abuse\">announced last week\u003c/a> that it is investigating the CDCR’s handling of sexual abuse allegations at the state women’s prisons in Chowchilla and Chino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-civil-rights-investigation-correctional-staff-sexual-abuse-two\">In a statement\u003c/a>, the DOJ said it found significant justification to open the investigation, including “hundreds of private lawsuits” and reports alleging sexual abuse by correctional officers. Last year a correctional officer at the Chowchilla facility was charged with \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/25/gregory-rodriguez-california-correctional-officer-accused-sexual-assault-womens-prison\">96 criminal counts\u003c/a>, including rape, sodomy and sexual battery over a 13-year period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOJ’s investigation is appropriate given the charges brought against the correctional officer, said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, the chair of the Women’s Legislative Caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to imagine that that individual was able to get away with that without other officials knowing. And it really puts a spotlight on what is happening there,” the East Bay lawmaker told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women who were in the chow hall at the Central California Women’s Facility on Aug. 2 said they hope the CDCR’s investigation leads to transparency and accountability. All of the women said they were traumatized by the alleged attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like being around a lot of people now, so I kind of stay secluded,” De Leon Guerrero said. “I cannot go into the chow hall. I’ve tried it. I start[ed] getting anxiety and a panic attack.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And unfortunately, in these last couple of years working closely with CDCR and also trying to get access to provide more trauma-informed support to people on the inside, we’ve seen reluctance to allow advocates inside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state bill, AB 1455, allows victims to sue in civil court up to 10 years after their assailants are convicted of sexual assault or a crime in which sexual assault was initially alleged. It also gives victims the option to sue up to 10 years after their assailants leave the law enforcement agency they were working at when the assault occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the law took effect, women have filed hundreds of lawsuits describing numerous instances of sexual assault by correctional officers overseen by CDCR, including the Chowchilla and Chino facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits range from allegations of inappropriate searching to forcible rape, and officers at both facilities reportedly sought sexual favors in return for contraband and privileges, the DOJ said in a press release.

"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge overseeing a settlement meant to improve psychiatric care in California state prisons is poised to do the one thing she’s tried hardest to avoid: wrest control of prison mental health from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The court has done every single thing within its authority to allow defendants to achieve compliance while still exercising a great degree of discretion and autonomy,” District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller wrote in a July 12, 2024, order. “The court concludes the only way to achieve full compliance in this action is for the court to appoint its own receiver.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A court-appointed federal receiver could hire staff, implement improvements and spend the state’s money to fulfill the court’s numerous outstanding orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move comes two months after Mueller held the department in civil contempt for ongoing staffing shortages, delays in treatment and insufficient suicide prevention efforts. The judge imposed a $112 million fine and directed the state to spend those funds to carry out measures she’d previously ordered. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the state’s appeal of the order, but denied a stay of the payment. The fines are due on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her July 12 order, Mueller wrote that instead of signaling a willingness to achieve compliance, the state sought “further delays” and “repeatedly asserted positions the court has found are not supported by the record.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A 34-year-old court saga\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1990, Ralph Coleman, a former Sacramento resident serving a sentence of life without parole, sued CDCR alleging its repeated failure to diagnose and treat his mental illness violated the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit eventually became a class action, and in 1994, a federal court found that incarcerated people with serious mental disorders in California prisons went years without diagnosis or care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"california-department-of-correction-and-rehabilitation\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Untold thousands of mentally ill inmates have gone undiscovered, undiagnosed and untreated while at the same time being subjected to conditions that aggravate their illnesses,” Judge John F. Moulds wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moulds identified chronic staff shortages and the lack of any system for screening for mental illness among the incarcerated as two key shortcomings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following year, U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled CDCR was failing to provide adequate mental health care to the incarcerated and placed psychiatric care in the prisons under the supervision of a special master.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nearly three decades, the special master has monitored prison psychiatric care, issued reports and made recommendations.

Inside they found exactly what they expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every room was converted into a grow room,” said Charles Smith, deputy chief of law enforcement at the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC), which polices the illegal marijuana market in the Golden State. “The carpet and walls are covered with plastic, tables in every room, all of the electrical is haphazard and all over the place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DCC officers found more than 80 pounds of marijuana in Liu’s house. That same morning, they also raided two other homes on the block, filling a dump truck with about $1 million worth of weed cultivated by unlicensed growers. Whether the three houses are connected is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency follows up on anonymous tips to identify illicit cannabis operations, which is how officers found Liu’s house in Antioch. Agents surveyed the property and identified an excessively high use of electric power from the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12002851\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12002851\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/OPDOfficerGrowHouse2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Officers used a power saw to cut through a reinforced steel door during a raid on April 30, 2024, of a marijuana grow house owned by Oakland Police Officer Samson Liu. \u003ccite>(Courtesy California Department of Cannabis Control)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, DCC officers didn’t realize Liu was an Oakland police officer until they began their investigation, and they notified the Oakland Police Department on the day of the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the Oakland Police Department told KQED on Tuesday that Liu was placed on administrative leave effective April 30 and said the matter is still under investigation, declining to provide further details. Liu’s Oakland Police Department salary in 2023 was $137,239.46, with an additional $157,814.37 in overtime, according to watchdog site Transparent California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although California voters legalized adult consumption of marijuana in 2016, illegal pot is still big business. The benefits of participating in the underground economy are obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just lucrative. It’s a cash business,” Smith said. “You don’t have to pay any taxes. You don’t have to pay any overhead. A lot of the individuals that are brought in for labor are being taken advantage of, and therefore [growers] have really low overhead, and they can make a lot of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12002332 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/BontaCannabis2-1020x608.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Smith and investigators are not sure why the Contra Costa area in particular has become a hotbed of illegal indoor cultivation. A recent CNN investigation that first reported Liu’s connection to the home raided in April found that Antioch has had the second-most marijuana raids in the state, just after Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if it’s just ease of getting into the market, lots of new houses, or if there’s something else going on,” Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal cultivation can pose high risks for consumers and for neighbors of underground grow operations. “There’s the local risk of fire because they’re pulling so much power that they’re overloading and they’re usually bypassing the meters and the safeties on the house,” Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Additionally, because they’re not regulated, growers are using all kinds of illegal pesticides and things that are hazardous to individuals who may consume them. You don’t want to smoke a pesticide — let alone illegal pesticides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last week, DCC officers led an operation with the Unified Cannabis Enforcement Taskforce in Contra Costa County, carrying out four search warrants for illegal sites. The operation yielded the seizure of over 1,000 pounds of unlicensed pot products — including 2,300 plants — with a total value of over $2 million. Officers also confiscated seven firearms and nearly $20,000 in cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Significant mold was also found, which Smith said is common in indoor cultivation. Growing houses are extremely humid inside due to the water needed to grow the crop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the CNN investigation into the illegal operations in Antioch suggested a connection to foreign growers, particularly from China, Smith pointed out that local gangs and cartels are heavily involved and active in the underground cannabis economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The operation yielded the seizure of over 1,000 pounds of unlicensed pot products — including 2,300 plants — with a total value of over $2 million. Officers also confiscated seven firearms and nearly $20,000 in cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Significant mold was also found, which Smith said is common in indoor cultivation. Growing houses are extremely humid inside due to the water needed to grow the crop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the CNN investigation into the illegal operations in Antioch suggested a connection to foreign growers, particularly from China, Smith pointed out that local gangs and cartels are heavily involved and active in the underground cannabis economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We will continue to investigate and prosecute retail crime until it stops across California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Bonta, half of the 15 dispensary break-ins took place in Santa Cruz County. The stolen products are valued at $1 million and included nearly 1,000 pounds of marijuana, Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burglaries included several high-profile incidents across Northern California.

Police began investigating break-ins at cannabis retailers and large-scale marijuana trafficking in Alameda County and discovered “a nexus of criminals” working across the state, Shavies said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three suspects currently face murder charges for Le’s shooting after charges were dropped against an alleged lookout this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other burglaries linked to the organized group took place in Monterey, Solano, Kern, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Merced, Sonoma and San Diego counties, according to the attorney general’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of the suspects are from Alameda County, Shavies said, with 12 coming from the city of Oakland.

Gavin Newsom signed a slate of bills to combat rising retail theft. The 10 bills are intended to make it easier to prosecute people suspected of retail theft without undoing changes voters approved a decade ago \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">reducing prison sentences for nonviolent crimes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, voters will \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000513/new-california-laws-aim-to-crack-down-on-retail-theft-voters-could-decide-to-go-further\">decide on Proposition 36\u003c/a>, which would go further to increase sentences for property and drug crimes. Newsom and other Democrats oppose the measure, which they say would restore policies that previously packed prisons and failed to improve public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commercial burglaries in California dropped by nearly 10% last year but have soared overall since the COVID-19 pandemic, and rates of shoplifting — targeting lower-value items — have continued to rise, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/commercial-burglaries-fell-in-2023-but-shoplifting-continued-to-rise/\">according to an analysis from the Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
