Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation Friday that is aimed at cracking down on high-profile “smash-and-grabs” and other organized retail theft. “Let me be clear: This is not aimed at a low-income parent desperate to feed their child. It’s not about a kid making a shortsighted mistake,” Pritzker said. “This is about a multibillion-dollar industry of organized criminals carrying out sophisticated theft operations.”
