Target has announced a change in its hours in all six of its San Francisco stores because crimes have been increasing, specifically thefts and shoplifting.
According to reporting by KGO, all the stores in the city are now operating from 9 a.m. until just 6 p.m.
The company has reported that their stores have experienced an alarming rise in theft and security incidents in the last month.
But San Francisco Mayor London Breed believes reducing hours is not the answer.
"We need to make sure when these crimes occur that there is an accountability component. When police make an arrest which they have - which you saw on the news with the guy on the bike and arrest has been made. Will they be held accountable for what they did?" said Breed.
Breed is referring to the recent case of a shoplifter facing 15 counts in multiple cases in San Francisco, who went viral in a Walgreens heist video.
