Target says it will close nine stores in major cities, citing violence and theft

Target stores in Portland and other major cities are closing due to an increase in theft and organized retail crime, which has threatened the safety of employees and customers.
Target is taking a stand against retail crime by explicitly blaming it for the store closures and supporting a bill for stiffer penalties for theft offenses.
Despite efforts to address the issue, including increased security and theft-deterrent tools, Target concluded that these measures were insufficient to combat the rising crime rates.
