Oakland, CA — Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced that the District Attorney’s Organized Retail Theft Unit is prosecuting Haki McClain related to four cases involving 57 theft incidents across eight Alameda County jurisdictions from 2025 through 2026.
The defendant is being prosecuted pursuant to California’s organized retail theft law, Penal Code section 666.1, which took effect on December 18, 2024.
In Alameda County alone, the defendant is alleged to have been involved in thefts that resulted in more than $74,000 in losses for 11 retailers and to have been found in possession of more than $35,000 in stolen merchandise.
Mr. McClain’s theft activity extends beyond Alameda County. He has separate theft-related cases in Los Angeles County and San Mateo County, and he has been identified in alleged theft activity in other parts of Northern and Southern California, as well as in Nevada.
“Mr. McClain is accused of committing 57 thefts across 8 jurisdictions in Alameda County, prompting multiple law-enforcement agencies throughout the region to investigate and share information, ultimately bringing this case to us for prosecution,” said District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson. “I commend our law enforcement partners for their coordinated efforts to identify this defendant and to enable us to bring these cases forward.”
McClain is scheduled to appear on November 3, 2026, at 9 a.m., in Department 104 at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse of the Alameda County Superior Court.
