About $150,000 worth of teeth whitening toothpaste, speakers, clothes and other items were recovered in one of several retail theft operations last week in Southern California.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Organized Retail Crime Task Force operations carried out in early August included an investigation with detectives from the Inland Empire Cargo Taskforce at a large warehouse in Commerce. Authorities served a search warrant Aug. 5 in the 2700 block of South Eastern Avenue, where the teeth whitening paste and 22 units of Edifier speakers, valued at $3,300, were recovered.<\/p>\n
In a separate Organized Retail Crime Task Force operation last week, nearly $40,000 in stolen merchandise from Lululemon, Alo, Target, TJ Maxx and Macy’s was recovered. Search warrants were served Aug. 4 in the 700 block of South Serrano Avenue and the 700 block of Alvarado Street in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
The items, including clothing, kitchenware, cosmetics and personal hygiene products, were being re-sold in the MacArthur Park area west of downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Two people were arrested on suspicion of organized retail theft and receiving stolen property. The case will be presented Friday to Los Angeles County prosecutors for consideration of criminal charges.<\/p>\n
