The item was reportedly stolen from local retailers such as Ross, TJ Max, Target, CVS and Walgreens. Police said the estimated retail price for stolen goods is around $300,000.
The amount of items was so overwhelming that police said they needed to rent a U-Haul truck to remove the item.
The suspect who ran the store was arrested for receiving stolen property.
Further details, including the suspect’s identity, were not released as the lawsuit remains under investigation.
