Two suspects are in custody after California authorities dismantled what investigators describe as a large-scale organized retail theft pipeline moving stolen Home Depot tools across Southern California and into resale channels for profit. The California Highway Patrol’s Southern Division Organized Retail Crime Task Force launched the investigation after tracking stolen merchandise taken from multiple Home Depot stores throughout the region. Investigators say the suspects were not just buyers of stolen goods, but key links in a broader resale operation that funneled the items into a swap meet in Los Angeles County.
