Operation “Ugly Sweater”.

Operation Ugly Sweater. Sacramento County Sheriff's deputies in the Organized Retail Theft Unit are undercover this week. We are watching two businesses for shoplifters who show up at the stores along with paying customers buying holiday gifts. After the passage of Proposition 36, we now have the ability, with two prior convictions, even if they are misdemeanors, to charge someone with a felony regardless of the dollar amount.
