Target has revealed its collaboration with Homeland Security in a concerted effort to address the surging theft issues that led to the closure of multiple stores.

Additionally, the retail giant has pledged to allocate substantial resources towards enhancing its cyber defense capabilities, underscoring its commitment to combating the escalating crime wave.

In a recent statement to its valued customers, the beloved chain outlined its comprehensive strategy for curbing criminal activity within its stores, the Daily Sun reported.

“At Target, we take the decision to close stores very seriously, and only do so after taking meaningful steps to invest in the guest experience and improve business performance,” the statement began.

“With that said, we have made the difficult decision to close nine Target stores across four states, effective Oct. 21,” the statement said.

“In this case, we cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” the statement read.
