they're adding more police officers to the area one is actually stationed right here on this street. stores are closing earlier and they've also set up these barricades here on broadway plaza that they're not allowing any cars up and down this street and this is going to stay this way. through the holidays. now. like i said, we're currently at broadway plaza. take a look at this map. it's located in downtown walnut creek. this is the shopping district and the strip is full of stores, including nordstrom. but on monday about 10 stores turned off their lights before their normal times. now employees say that was for the safety of customers and themselves after the wild scene that played out on saturday. police say about 25 cars drove up to nordstrom on broadway plaza about 80 people ransacked the store jumped back into those cars and drove away. police say they ran off with up to $200,000 in merchandise. want to creeks mayor says officers

are working overtime. now the city has more officers on duty throughout the shopping district, you're going to see them in the morning the afternoon and at night he's closed off broadway plaza to traffic at least through christmas and stores are also cutting back their hours now. he tells me he's talking with other mayors and police departments across the region on how to coordinate. >> this isn't all regional problem. this is not an isolated city incident. we're seeing these kind of brazen robberies throughout the region and so working with fellow mayors to make sure that we are doing all we can throughout all the different cities and encouraging and insisting that the da's office charge and prosecute every one of these criminals to the fullest extent of the law. we cannot let them out. we cannot let people think they can get away with this in walnut creek or anywhere in the bay area. >> now looters 3 employees in

nordstrom on saturday. police arrested 3 people. but doesn't ran away and officials are still reviewing video and trying to find the people responsible. but the city mayor tells me that he has it is in contact with the employees here at nordstrom. the store closed earlier than usual yesterday and that looks to be the way that other stores are going about it after what happened on saturday night. so if you are planning to shop here in walnut creek or anywhere across the bay area. call ahead. you don't want to over there in cases stores are closing earlier than usual rayna james, back to you. thank you for that. we know that's going to disrupt a lot there. but hopefully keeps people safe. thank you for that camila. >> 8. '05, that i'm speaking of keeping people safe police really up their presence at union square in san francisco yesterday because of the recent robberies that we saw there groups of people, robin vandalized, more than a half dozen stores in the area friday night, including including the louis baton right there on union square.

and in fact, now you need a reservation to get inside. they're not going let and while some shoppers say, yeah, they do still feel safe there despite the uptick in crime. some of the business owners tell us a different story. they think maybe it's time to leave. >> everything's on the table right now and we love the city. gump's has been part of san francisco and part of union square for over 150 years. we help build this vibrant area. it would be extremely disappointing for us to have to pack up and leave. >> san francisco police say that the burglaries at union square. we're coordinated as of this morning. they've been able to arrest 9 suspects connected to those crimes. we'll see if any more follow. >> well in the south bay police in san jose are now saying 2 different robberies at 2 malls across the street from one another might have been coordinated as well. they say a group of robbers stole about $40,000 worth of merchandise from the lululemon store and santana roll. this happened sunday night around the same time. police say at least 2 people hit the valley.

fair mall right across the street. they still roughly $7,000 worth of goods from a sunglass hut. there. >> whoever was waiting outside and multiple vehicles. let me add that it was just wasn't one or 2 cars. it was 4, 5, cars. they're planning to load all these cars fully with merchandise. who knows. i tried to stop him, but they indicated they were willing to run me over. so backed off. >> no arrests have been made in either of those robberies and there's no information on a possible suspect. but there is a larger security presence at santana row. >> ahead of black friday shopping. in the east bay. this dramatic video shows a group of 9 people fleeing the sam's jewelers inside of southland mall. this happened sunday night around 5.30, police say the group used hammers to smash open the display case and grab whatever they could. police say the jewelry store was the only location in the mall that was targeted. no arrests have been made in this now, this is the 3rd time in the past 2 weeks that a group of robbers used

hammers to still jewelry from a bay area mall. similar crimes also happened in concord and fairfield. >> well, governor newsome is now stepping in in to help protect stores here in the bay area. the governor announced that he's directing the chp to start increasing their presence near major retail centers all across the bay. fact, hn says the increased presence will continue through the holiday season with the governor saying it's been in contact with local mayors with police departments and stores to try come up with additional ways to stop these thieves. we want real accountability. >> we want people prosecuted and we want people to feel safe this holiday season. >> the governor also announced a proposed increase in next year's state budget to try and combat retail crime. well with this rising fest, you might be wondering if maybe you should change the way you shop this holiday season just to stay safe in fact, local security experts say how you shop could very well be the difference in determining whether you're become a victim or not.

>> you should be aware of where the nearest exit is getting out of the store is your best option. gain as much distance as you can from the people who are committing the crimes and also put items in for a hard items that poll that is attached to the closing 3 feet from you. you might have to grab that thing. you know, snap it off and use it to defend yourself. obviously you want to. that goes back to where it is right. you want to be a personally aware what's going on. >> hopefully you're never confronted by any of these thieves. if you, you know, follow the example of this one person here in the video that was taken last week. you can see them ducking into that photo booth to try and make sure that the heat weren't seen by the thieves who in the background were smashing the jewelry store making off with $50,000 worth of jewelry. that was in a fairfield mall. experts recommend that high getaway, whatever you can don't confront the criminals. that's good advice. >p now in the east bay. there was an attempted robbery at a blonde dispensary in san leandro. it happened early yesterday morning and like all other retail test. we've seen

recently. police say multiple people pulled up in several cars. but when they tried to force their way in. they got into a shootout. the store security. luckily no one was injured. but the gunman did get away. was just the and the designer stores that were robbed over the weekend. we're showing you video of a group of burglars. they broke into the blood and more dispensary. that's right near the coliseum. now, the owners tell us he believes the burglars came from a sideshow that was happening nearby. people started scaling the fence before storming in raiding display cases. 7 minutes later security arrive to chase them off. and with these recent attacks on marijuana related businesses owners say they're getting fed up with paying high taxes and not getting much in return when it comes to police response. >> extra security. and the taxes. we talk about tax try potentially we're talking a pick in the mayor's office. we don't know what we can do, but its top action would kind of talk.

>> this was just one of several incidents that took place and they are asking people and anyone with information to come forward about that. oakland police chief leronne armstrong held a news conference yesterday to address the crimes. we're going to have more on that in the next half hour. >> well, new this morning, a big rig and a train had accident. this was in san pablo about a 15 last night on chelsea avenue, right real boulevard. that big rig was carrying cars when it was hit. now those cars and other flying several 100 yards. part of the train came off the tracks. the truck driver of the train engineer. they had some minor injuries, but nothing worse than that. there were 30 passengers on the train at the time. but we're told none of them were hurt. we'll take a break at 8.11. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news new details about the man accused of plowing into a car, a crowd at a christmas parade in wisconsin will tell you more about that person's past. plus breaking news we're following this morning. the biden administration taking a big

>> and so really once you get into the oven and you cook it to a safe internal temperature of one 65 you eliminated those any pathogens and viruses may. so we in there. and so you're safe and good to go. so there is no need to wash in turkey. all right it. i've got another question, too, because yesterday i took the turkey out of the for a freezer. and i have in the is there anything i need to do special while it's thawing because a iously i want to relea cross contaminate. i want to do anything to the other food that's in the fridge. >> right. right. yes. so the thing you can do while you're flying out of the fridge is you just leave that turkey in its original packaging can put it in a food safe container. maybe let's say a glass baking dish or something to make sure chechens any juices that might and for frozen turkey. you want to give it enough time. to thaw out. and that's for every 45 pounds of turkey weight. you want to give it a full 24 hours or full day in

the kitchen so let's in the refrigerator. so let's say you have a 15 pound turkey that's going to take you about 3 days in the fridge that note days for okay. very good. very good. we're looking at some video people pulling turkey's out of the it looks yummy and then on this is another question i have here for thanksgiving day itself. we've all eaten when is it safe to start putting the food in the fridge. my mom always said you got to let it sit out until it's basically not warm anymore. and you put it in. okay. >> yeah, well, so really the key thing is you want to make sure that the food that beautiful spread you have up for your family and friends isn't out for longer than 2 hours. so the key thing. so that is once you start cleaning up and you have those leftovers. you want to get them divided up shallow containers and get those into the fridge as quickly as possible. so if you're within that 2 hour time frame and

you're getting those things into the bridge. you're in safe territory okay. very something miles always wants to know about. but how long can you eat those leftovers because all right. because up to mom will be eaten up for his lunch and is to look how long is too teller. yeah, that's a great question. so really leftovers, isn't that everyone's favorite part of the meal for sure. those leftovers are safe in the fridge for for up to 40. so if you eat on thanksgiving you've got till monday to either eat all those delicious leftovers or make sure that you get them into the freezer because once they're in the freezer, they can stay there for quite some time and still be safe to eat. and you take them out. okay. and then one more quick question for you. this is personally for me. >> my father-in-law loves to have stuffing in the turkey. we like still company says that's not stuffing. that's addressing i thing, which means it's in the bird. what's the safest way to do that because i'm always a little squeamish about that. yeah, that's a great question, too.

so usda technically does not recommend stopping in turkey. only because the temperature variation between the inside the cavity of the burden. the outside can be different. and so you just increasing your chances of foodborne illness. but you're going to stuff turkey, their number things you can keep in mind to stay safe. and the first one is a lot of folks like to prepare that stepping in advance and you can do that. but you want to keep the wet injury and the dry ingredients separate from each other. then right before you're about to put that bird in the oven. you want to get the stepping in their combined. those ingredients and put the stepping in there. then when you take the bird out, you want to make sure that the bird itself. >> it has reached a safe internal temperature of one 65. you also want to make sure that the stuffing has reached that safe internal temperature of one one 65 and you do that by using a food okay. very good. i thank you so much.

hopefully we'll have a lot of successful. thanks. give me years. >> with your advice. wendy, thank you so much for joining us. thanks so much. every thanksgiving. you bet. you too. did you get a lot of people healthy. now you can tell grandma watch the turkey and well that she doesn't to watch it or he was. so okay and that we don't need to be leftovers for 2 put a limit on some of the stuff, although if yes, john, he'll be in turkey sandwiches for days. if you only with miracle america. yeah. was waiting for that is a unique what but the leftovers are the best part. i agree. we are looking at some great shopping weather today. maybe some great weather to be doing some of your travels to you are likely going to have a couple days off. at least hopefully for thanksgiving in which case do enjoy all the sunshine. we're going to be seeing berkeley hills camera showing the sunshine up above. we are in the midst of some fog for the central valley and some low cloud cover for the inland east bay in the south

bay. i want to know, but we're not in the midst of any chance of rainfall. the jet stream continues to send any chance of rain and snow for that matter. well, to the north of us areas that are waterlogged like western canada, northern washington are going to continue to see heavy areas of rain resulting in flooding for them. we could use some of that down here further south. but mother nature not going to bring it to us. so at least we have the good travel conditions, maybe even at thanksgiving dinner outdoors. as you can see here today and tomorrow as well as into thursday for thanksgiving itself. all going to be sunny and dry. now today is going to be noticeably cooler than yesterday. also a little windier. so keep the jackets with you into the afternoon. oakland freeman san jose each at 65 hayward in novato at 66. well, san francisco at 64 for your daytime high today. tomorrow's temperatures a little cooler than today's and we will be looking little bump in temperatures come friday, saturday and sunday taking us back into the upper 60's to low 70's. >> all of it under sunny and
