According to reports, delivery drivers in California’s South Bay are increasingly worried about becoming robbery targets. In response to these concerns, at least one company, Core Mart, has started hiring armed guards to escort its drivers during deliveries. The guards accompany the drivers to help protect them and the merchandise from potential theft. Unfortunately, this situation reflects the impact of rising crime concerns in society, leading to heightened security measures for delivery personnel.
