$1
million elaborate ORC scheme
where two men would purchase and steal
thousands of name-brand ink cartridges - swap them with knock-offs and then
return them for cash at Best Buy and Target in Atlanta, Ga., for at least the
last two years. They said once they got their hands on the name brand ink
cartridges they'd sell them online. Police seized more than 3,000 cartridges in
one of the suspects homes. They had tools to reseal packaging and boxes so they
looked as good as new. "All kinds of box cutters, shrink wrap guns, glues for
repackaging and all these boxes to make it look professional." One suspect was
arrested outside a Best Buy store in New York.
