BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — The holiday season, while often associated with joy and generosity, also brings an increase in crime risks, according to Detective Andrew Shive from the Bakersfield Police Department. The detective highlighted that higher foot traffic in stores, a surge in online orders, and more unattended packages create lucrative opportunities for thieves. “Safety is more complicated than ever,” Shive said, urging residents to remain vigilant during this busy time of year.
