CHP investigation recovers $50M in stolen goods, 40+ arrested

- One single tip led to the recovery of $50 million in stolen goods. Five million dollars worth of merchandise was recovered on Thursday alone.
It was the result of a year long investigation by the California Highway Patrol that ended with more than 40 people in custody, all believed to be part of an organized retail theft ring.
We are talking about entire truckloads full of your purchases. So if your Amazon order never arrived, or maybe you blamed the Post Office, it may have actually been a sophisticated criminal operation.
It was given the code name, Operation Overloaded.
FULL STORY: www.cbs8.com/a...
Let’s hope they are charged under the RICO act.
Who Trump?
Rico is the guy who unloaded the trucks
I knew a guy in Oregon that worked with his girlfriend doing shoplifting. He got 90 days for shoplifting and 5 years for conspiracy for about $15 in food. So funny!
@@Oblivisci........ you mean after all this time you don’t know who trump is? Name one bill or executive order he signed into law you don’t agree with. Stop being butthurt he beat Hillary.
@@Oblivisci........ Are you 12?
The San Diego county sheriffs office needs to release the mugshots, not the media for everyone asking
they expect someone to snitch could ruin an investigation or deter someone from talking
No, the Hispanic cops don’t want everyone to recognize their cousins and uncles and brothers and……
20 years for all of them please!!! Well done CHP!!!
@@ADM-wt9cn Not enough. Make sure they are blacklisted from society: can't get a loan for even $5, can't sign up for credit cards or mortgages. Can't even subscribe to cable or sat TV. That's what should be done. Let them feel the pain.
Funny how the media can release nonstop loop videos of smash and grabs, but this type of major theft...not one mugshot.
If they had just stuck to under $950 per offense like most others, they'd be home free, like most others.
Like illegals and deportations, need to restock so they can be swiped again...then again.
..GREED 🐷
These are GED Students not mathematicians
950$ in California is gas money, Go big or go home did not work out in this case.
If you go big and go to jail you better stay home (Sun Tzu of this industry).
Some skids worth 50-80k each retail.
Some of those trailers have more money in them than a bank has.
Please follow up and show who these criminals are!
I think it was those guys on Animal Kingdom.
Why do you want to know!?!? So you can play the "Blame,Game"!?!?!
@@residentpotato6023 Cody! lol
@@chloeconniecarlton inquiring minds would like to know.
@@chloeconniecarlton to solve crime issues in a community we must understand the details of said crimes…..
Wow! Even the major retailers are jumping up and down. The value of the entire load is astronomical. A huge congratulations to the Califonia CHP for uncovering such an organized racket. Thank you!
I actually don't much care that the retailers got hit cause they're insured for stuff like this. I'm more upset that it was possible for this to happen regularly constantly.
@@genericscout5408 this raises prices for everyone
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 no it doesnt this is paied already once it is at the retailer. Gas prices is what raises the prices.
@@genericscout5408 you pay for that as a consumer. It is put into the price. you should care.
Not really I don't have a t.v. And I cant afford those items any ways. All this does is teach old criminals new way of making money 🤪
sad part is they don't return stolen items, instead you have a short time to prove your items were stolen or else they sell them at police auctions, attended mostly by police who know where and when the auctions take place.
They really have no idea where the stuff comes from and it would take forever to figure it out. By the time they figure out where it belongs the retailer has wasted to much time on the product and it becomes worthless
Read the label give to any store who sells that it's there property return to manufacturer
"supply chain issues"
Bwack ppl are thieves
It's California, so everyone was likely released without charges and provided stimulus checks for their inconvenience.
Reparations for all!
@@richardmorris7063 No Reparations are only for the criminals.
Your annoying
Excellent work, this is the kind of Detective work we like to see!!
Except they arent showing us all the bwack guys they caught
Detective ? This was possible because of a tip…lol pay attention
@@P2Feener305 Would be a great way to protect a snitch saying it was just a random tip. You think they tell you everything tard?
@@notallowedtobehonest2539 how do u know they were all “bwack” ?
@@DudeKnukem why are you assuming they aren't?
this is a pretty incredible story, especially from the thieves point of view. HOW do thieves steal $50 MILLION in merchandise before being caught??? Hell, that’s more merchandise value than many stores have in one location. No wonder stores are closing due to shoplifting.
You see the thing is there is no supply chain issues, this is just a big stage. The earth has more than enough minerals and resources for all of us but corporate greed poisons and taints everything it touches. They say we're closing this and that we dont have product but its all a lie to bring prices up as our wages stayed the same, but yet we have no pensions nowadays, job benefits are a joke now, we are taxed so heavily on our income.... Just makes me wish for a nuke to just destroy the whole planet Im sick of earth.
Its not stolen from the stores, its stolen from the trucks before they get to the stores. So shoplifting has nothing to do with this particular crime.
Did you not see the video? They explained it pretty well actually.
Where this happened appears to be a very busy retail transport corridor with hundreds or thousands of trucks rolling through every day. The ring was said to be stealing 5-7 trucks per week and sometimes it would be days before the loss was even recognized.
And apparently did it without using strong arm tactics. Instead they would take a truck from a less than secure yard at a processing hub and move it to another location where they unloaded the truck into smaller loads and moved it on to their own distribution centers.
This ain't a couple of jabronis pulling up to the mall for a snatch and grab.
.. you guys ever seen fast & furious 🤔
@@aermax7321 GTA Online is more related to this story than impotent fast & furious is.
A mere temporary set-back for the syndicate. All will be back on the street in no time to re-organize and re-start the operation.
Always the lowest level soldiers get prison time.
Just remember that all the GOOD people buying stolen merchandise are just as responsible.
@@notallowedtobehonest2539 Perhaps, but these are not smash and grabs. Outright hi-jackings. We need names! Just a first name will do.
Let see how fast some DA, or judge, will release this thugs.
@@niilespunkari8832 I don't think DA's can set release, only Judges and unfortunately, often their hands are tied by these wacky no-bail policies.
No worries, the thieves will be out without bail and given a slap on the hand. It's part of the state's motto, "Criminals come first!"
@ Peter Palmer - Yeah, under Peacock, governor Newsom criminals always come first.
@@ralphlazio505 But, most criminals are republicans so why are you complaining exactly?
Stop being annoying is not covid season no more people are staying in jail now plus this is a fed case trust me there in there
Definitely wrong lol.
They may get out on bail but they will be back in court to answer
@@mendoblendo321 the mains ones that ran the show
"And in other, related news. Nordstrom and Wal-Mart will remain open in San Diego for 2 more months before store closures because of rampant shoplifting."
Its not stolen from the stores, its stolen from the trucks before they get to the stores. So shoplifting has nothing to do with this particular crime. Did you watch the video or just read the title?
@@CreatingAlong Did you read the OP??? He said,”And in other, related news….”
CreatingAlong please don’t procreate.
Nordstrom is also closing its two San Francisco stores due to rampant shoplifting.
Can we please start actually throwing the book at these brazen thieves? Great job CHP!
They need that Holy book.
Lets not get carried away here!lol
Bibles, work boots & fathers day cards are safe!

Wow, only took them a year. Must make thieves everywhere shudder with fear. That and no bail should clean things up.
@@FlaThunderstorm pretty sure they were under investigation and they waited until they had enough evidence and locations of stolen items etc to get the big fish in the operation indicted for their crimes. Is this a foreign concept to you?
Who were the criminals ???? That is an important question. The media is worthless.
Ongoing investigation and arrest. Should they publish the names yet? I think not.
Why does it matter ? What's more important is fixing the social issue of why people need to steal to begin with.
Always ask, what are they not telling us.
@@EarthAltar Exactly. The real news is always what is not included in the report.
@@wmeiggs Because it's not news. It's propaganda. Anyone that believes it needs to get their bullshit-o-meter recalibrated.
These are the type of cases I appreciate being solved! Thank you!
I agree with your comment. There are more cases like this one with criminals running the theft empire, hope lots more of them get caught red handed and prosecuted.
So who are the 40 arrested? Name names.
cough, I'll be the first idiot to reply to this one, thank you. : )
"I bet the names are difficult to spell, so they are taking their time creating the list and checking to make sure the diacritics are correct per letter."
Liberals.
@@DevJB I bet you are right!
The names are BLACK BLACKERSON!😅😊😮
Show the suspects! Good job law enforcement
It's the reparations protection project😅
California….they will be out by Monday.
@@rayb.6537 in PA you go to jail
All the states act like they're tough but they're out in no time. Not just California!!!!
@@mastersr1956 for a day or two!!!!
Highly doubt they'll be out by Monday.
Unless they're melanin Americans. Then they'll be out and given 8 million dollars each.
Great job officer keep up all the hard work and be safe out there.
Now I'm looking forward the follow up story about how all criminals involved are doing hard time. More likely to see a story about the criminals terrible struggles to rebuild their theft empire after their release.
they will be given no bail release you should know that by now LOL
Im waiting to see how theyre all bwack
No troubled times for these criminals, this is soprano TV stuff.
Newsome will cut them loose
@@michaelkeogh6646 No that would be Abbott, pardoning killers!
Nice work. I hope its rewarded with a District Attorney and Judge that will prosecute with long jail time.
40 people arrested not a single booking photo, I'm sure the no bail folks are already working to free these "Liberators of merchandise" 🤣🤣
they only show photos of white criminals.
OMG GHOST GUNS ?!?!? It’s almost like criminals don’t follow the gun laws who would have thought 🤓
Excellent job CHP
It was a snitch not police work
insane. each of these people are millionaires now and can easily afford a top of the line attorney. hopefully they are held accountable
You believe that? Not even close.
Thank you for all you do!
They steal from the rich and give to the needy wiggy wiggy wiggy wiggy wiggy wigeeeey.
Doesn't help if the thieves don't actually suffer consequences for their actions!
people need to stop voting for the liberal democrats that are destroying this country. the entire world is laughing at this country now.. LGB
they couldn't do nothing to the black people? These were the people that got Creepy sleepy elected
They were just hungry
They just needed some bread...
They just needed to make some extra money so they could feed all the people in their local food kitchen.
😂
@@masterspin7796That's just how ridiculous the excuses are for these black heatherns😅
The sad part of a big bust in California is you know the charges will be dropped or plead down to misdemeanors.
I hope not, but a year long investigation with video and 50 million in evidence is a slam dunk.
Unfortunately it's not a federal investigation. CA is weak
Gee will they actually be charged with a crime and go to jail ? Liberal California.
Since it happened in California the suspects will all get probation and a letter of apology from the Governor.
No mention of who did it.
Non-answer to what happens to the items.
These amateur wannabe journalists need to stop showing up in my RUclips feed.
Hundreds of stores have closed due to thieves effecting hundred of thousands of people. Put these people in prison for life.
It would be nice if they went after the people who stole billions from state taxpayers on that stupid train....
Oh, now I know why people are telling me they can get me "a really good price" on a brand new TV
Normally this stuff is ignored by the police. I guess this was large enough for them to stop it.
It is the DAs that ignore this stuff. If you are a police officer and the DA doesn't prosecute anything under $950 you are in danger of coming under the scrutiny of the DA.
BTW. Just wondering if DAs are applying inflation stats to the $950 figure.
More then likely the police just weren't getting paid off by this group or a rival moved in who is paying the police more.
@@marcuslinton310 You're full of it. It is mostly the lefty DAs that ignore this stuff in the big cities.
This is the CHP. The police are still useless - particularly in San Francisco.
It's getting closer to election time😅
You know y'all wouldn't have to recover it if you didn't let people steal it and not charge them in the first place.
Bravo, CHP, well done!
Newsom "investing" in law enforcement!?! Don't make me laugh. (I see the reporter stumbled over that sentence. LOL) He probably had a share in this gig. He can take a hike and should.
Meanwhile, people and businesses are leaving CA in DROVES, tired of all the high taxation with little to show for it, not to mention all the regulations squeezing them all out of biz.
I thought they were out enforcing window tint violations.....I'm glad to see they are enforcing actual crimes.
I had many problems with target orders. Now I know what happened! Luckily target sent replacements out immediately!
You should contact Target.
Actually postal workers steal items too. I sell on eBay and other places and once when I was on a rush I decided to pull over when I saw a postal worker getting off his truck. I handed him the item and off course it was never shipped. After hundreds of products, I have shipped this was the one that never went into the system. Luckily, I had a duplicate item and was able to ship a replacement. My purchase price for each of this item was about $30.
I've had that happen too, only it was an item I bought. The seller told me she took it to the post office but left it on the counter, and walked out without a receipt. I sell items as well, and most of the time, I don't have to think about a stolen package, but now I always get that receipt.
Notice how the ethnicity/demographic of the thieves was never mentioned? Can't imagine why not.
The police could be withholding names and descriptions because they are expecting to make more arrests.
@@chrisray1567 nonsense.
@@chrisray1567 theres always more bp breaking the law, thats no excuse to pander to them and protect them
@@notallowedtobehonest2539 If they were b p they wouldn't have made it out the gate, as if they had the discipline to pull it off.
Come in man.
@@notallowedtobehonest2539 these are Hispanics. Mark these words
All the suspects should have their personal properties seized as well (such as homes, cars, boats, jewelry, etc...) as part of being acquired from ill-gotten purchases.
Excellent work CHP!!
This is a federal crime and should be prosecuted as such!
Shit I would’ve purchased one of those 75 inch oiled TVs😁✅💯🙌
I use to go to this Lan Center and right downstairs was place that sold laptops, one day overnight the laptop place was broken into and ACER computers were taken, no more than the next day the cops were downstairs investigating some guy came in with 2 new boxes of ACER computers to the Lan Center and tried to sell it to the owner, the owner said "yeah I think my brother needs a laptop", he called the downstairs owner to inform the cops the thieves are upstairs. They came and arrested them. I swear some thieves are extremely dumb and desperate.
Nice job, Ponch
Keep up with your good works officers 👍💪
This could not have been going on without help from someone in law enforcement and the government. This most definitely had to be an inside job!
Ding ding ding ding! Someone gets it!
More then likely the police just weren't getting paid off by this group or a rival moved in who is paying the police more.
These officers should get atleast 25$ million amongst themselves…tax free …
Bravo…brave officers….keep america safe.
san diego police hit the JACKPOT!!!! :D
That disgusting state is negatively effecting the entire country. I feel like that should mean the entire country should have a say in what to do about how that evil place does things.
Great work, CHP.
Not really. Never addressed the root cause of why people would need to do this.
Well, what do you know? There are still some honest, professional cops.
Guarantee they took a cut. Also don't forget the fact if even one of them had a small amount of drugs the police can seize all the items and resell them for their own profit. So essentially making us pay more for things.
Wow, the police did their job. Great!
Only couse they are going to make money off of it
First time this decade.
CyberLA
Took them 1 year and they are still not finished. Kind of like the Biden/Hunter investigation. A never ending soap opera.
'Head of the snake". Are they protecting the identities of the alleged thieves?
trucks and trailer have GPS... how do you steal a tractor trailer AND get it unloaded before the cops show up!?!?!?
Lead
Shhhhhh, you're not allowed to use your brain 😂😂😂😂😂😂
obviously the trucking companies and drivers were in on it too
Give a whole new meaning to "drive it like you stole it"!
This is in no way surprising to me. I once had a roommate who turned out to be a dangerous criminal. I knew her from work, and we had never had a disagreement. Once she was in my home, and added to the lease, hell broke loose. Her boyfriend began hiding many pounds of cannabis (at the time, it was a really big deal, and super illegal) and cocaine in my home. We had agreed that an person staying more than 3 nights was a resident, and should pay a full month’s rent. Nope.
After she beat me in my own bed, and the Sherrif’s office did very little, I called Immigration. Even Immigration did not care about her shoplifting ring. She took orders from people, and filled them. Honestly, I had no idea. None. I knew she smoked pot; I knew she was not a fan of police-but who is? I had no idea. Also, Immigration treated me like I was the threat. They did not believe me.
They can put in the effort to do this, but they cannot stop the looting at the local Walmart???
Good job CHP
They should be charged as a criminal organization involved
Companies leaving CA for a really good reason
Nonsense.
Aw damn, now I will never find that lucky TV that fell off the back of a truck on the freeway. 🤣😂. Seriously, great job CHP.
Great effort? I don’t think they put any effort probably somebody snitched
Thank God for men who do men’s jobs like Sheriffs, Police, Firefighters, E.M., etc……you’re all in our thoughts and prayers 😇🙏🏻✝️👍🏻🤟🏼👏🥰
Hey that's the BLM Walmart warehouse.
😂
Oh damn 😂😂😂
They were just jogging
They're hungry don't you know.. All that free marijuana gave them the munchies😮😅
No way these thefts happened without either truck drivers and/or processing station agents being involved.
$50million in reparations.
You must be white.
Crack loves matter😊😮😅
make examples of all of these thugs with extremely long jail sentences
Wow great work! Hopefully they won't be let off easy, but ca has woke d.a.'s.
What does that mean?
@@rubyquail progressive DAs are more interested in framing crime as a societal issue instead of a personal responsibility matter. They let violent offenders go because of wokeness. Professional victimhood

A It will go back to their owners.
Now that's what I call top reporting!
I tip my hat to the CHP, good job, well done! who said hard work doesn't pay.
Perp:
Can I have some leniency ?
Judge: ....NO .
Right now in that City Democrats are rioting
They love throwing around “ghost gun” like it’s something scary 😂
Well, since they deliberately left out the suspect's names and race, we can assume they are from a protected group. In other words, anybody that's not white.

What amazes me is how large the operation became before it was shut down. Four to Five trailer loads per week is a lot of merchandise. And I have the question as to how much was stolen that was not worth fencing and just dumped somewhere.
Now lets bust the catalytic converter and stolen car rings. Well done.
Thank you, California Highway Patrol!!!
Prosecutors will plea bargain and they will be out in a few months
Damn, that was a good job by the CHP. I hope the system has enough cells for the crooks
I guess a lot of things won't be at the swap meets.
Wow amazing job guys!
How did they think they weren’t gonna be caught with a big ass warehouse and trucks is crazy.
That's the kicker.
It always happens. These people come up with a halfway decent plan of operations but seem to always fuck up a few details that end up biting them in the ass.
They probably should have moved their storage facility out of state. Although that probably would have upped their charges in the end.
Kingmar
Inside help oviously.
I wonder what excuses the suspects gave for so many truck loads missing each week 🤔
Haha- imagine how much they already moved if they only recover that much and had been running the operation so long
This is some real life Fast and Furious
Good job CHP! Now it's up to a judge to give these criminals a maximum sentence. Set an example.
There is know word. These are grown ups. These parents have children. What a good example they set for their own children. Then they wonder why their kids do wrong too. Justice be served. Good job officers! Proud of you!
Thank you to the police. Good job!
Why are we not seeing who got arrested? We would like to see the faces behind this huge operation!
That won't happen with the mainstream media protecting the thugs😮
So what I'm hearing is that Amazon doesn't require a paper trail of goods and services sold on their website? Makes you wonder how many stolen goods are sold there. Would be a great way to traffic black market items by just having code names put into the fake descriptions of the products.
That would pretty much destroy most online markets and not just Amazon. Not because of selling stolen goods but because of how time consuming and cost prohibitive that is.
Kind of amazing the deliveries can go missing that long before it's noticed.
