Recent thefts target stores that carry high-end meats
The rest of the story suggests that "The desperate need for drugs and the cash to buy them" is prompting "addicts" to walk into high-end grocery stories (the story is illustrated with a truly banal photo of a Wegman's), load up their shopping carts and walk out.
