 Fed's
bust store owner and two others for buying and reselling
black-market liquor, baby formula, and untaxed
cigarettes in Vegas and running a retail theft ring.
Sunny Ramo, who owns a c-store in North Vegas, is
accused of buying bottles of liquor and baby formula
that he believed had been stolen from grocery stores in
the Las Vegas area and purchasing cigarettes that hadn't
been taxed by the state. Authorities say he bought the
items from undercover police and an ATF agent. They had
been investigating him because he was recruiting kids to
steal items for his store. "In this particular case,
what made this operation so heinous is the suspects
involved in this were recruiting young men and young
women, basically children, to steal from (other stores)
and bring in the product," Cassell said. "That's
unacceptable."

Police bust 5 men for running a bogus check-cashing ring
targeting Publix stores throughout Florida
The suspects admitted to cashing six counterfeit checks
totaling $2,900 at Publix Super Market stores on the
same day last week, according to the Hernando County
Sheriff’s Office. It was later learned alleged
ringleader Leon “Slim” Stovall was under a separate
investigation by state police for "several hundred" fake
check cashing cases at Publix stores throughout the
Southeast, causing the Lakeland, Fla.-based retailer a
"substantial loss." Publix spokeswoman Shannon Patten
said the Lakeland-based company has been working on the
case with law enforcement for more than a year. Patten
said the bogus checks totaled "hundreds of thousands of
dollars."

"Organized
group of shoplifters" stole eight cell phones from Radio
Shack in Richmond Centre, Ky., and may be connected to a
similar shoplifting spree in Georgetown.
Police say that a group of seven to eight men and women
entered the store and spread out into different areas.
"A member of the group distracted employees while the
remainder of the group examined other items in the
store," Brock said. "One of the males then purchased a
Blue Tooth headset and the group left the store and
departed in three vehicles." It later was learned that
the Blue Tooth headset purchased at the Richmond store
had been returned to the Radio Shack store in Georgetown
for a refund.
