Alleged Prolific Walgreens Thief on a Skateboard Charged With 24 Counts of Retail Theft
Briefly

Miles Thomas, a 26-year-old man from San Francisco, faces 24 counts for his involvement in retail theft, specifically 21 separate incidents at Walgreens and CVS stores. These incidents took place over a nearly year-long span from May 2024 to March 2025, focusing primarily on stealing dental hygiene products. Prosecutors indicated that Thomas pushed employees attempting to intervene during thefts. The District Attorney emphasized the impact of such thefts on local businesses and affirmed strict action against offenders, ensuring accountability through prosecution and denial of bail pending trial.
According to prosecutors, Thomas 'almost exclusively stole dental hygiene products,' and he allegedly stole over $1,000 worth of merchandise in each of two of the incidents.
Prolific thieves wreak havoc on our retail businesses and our communities,' said SF District Attorney Brooke Jenkins in a statement.
Employees described Thomas as always wearing distinctive sunglasses, and typically carrying a skateboard.
Thomas was arraigned Tuesday after being charged in connection with 21 retail theft incidents that occurred between May 2024 and March 6, 2025.
