Eight Arrested so far in Organized Theft Ring targeting The Home Depot and
Gander Mountain in Ocala, FL Ocala Police Department detectives say
they have broken up a theft ring that targeted at least two businesses within
the last month. Four men and four women who live in Ocala and Anthony have been
taken into custody within the last week, and detectives said the investigation
is ongoing and they're looking for more people. OPD detectives say all eight
admitted that the items stolen generators, camping gear and compound bows, for
instance were divided among themselves and later pawned at different pawn shops.
The proceeds were then used by them to support their pill addiction problems,
police say. OPD detectives said the loss to the businesses was valued in the
thousands of dollars. In the case of Gander Mountain, detectives said 38 items
were pawned by the individuals for the month of July.
