answering those questions will help them try to find and arrest those responsible. now, as far as the question of why this is happening, we know this say holiday season, store shelves are full, we also know there remains a lucrative market for black market items. but this is also taking on a political angle as well, colleague kate bolduan spoke last night with the democratic mayor of the city of oakland who said in her view, this wave of smash and grabs as well as the surge in violent crime in that city is partly due to a lack of police funding. take a listen. but let me be clear, oakland needs more police. we have been impacted by staffing reductions, covid interrupted our recruitment and training processes, and the defund rhetoric is challenging our ability to attract and retain recruits. the mayor went on to say in order to help stop this wave of smash and grabs, she wants to see better coordination between local law enforcement as well as
