Eight people have been arrested after a statewide investigation into organized retail crime targeting baby formula, diapers, and energy drinks.
Suspects are accused of stealing from Publix, Southeastern Grocers (Winn-Dixie) and Walmart, according to a news release from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
The way it works is five suspects entered stores and placed dozens of baby formula into reusable shopping bags. They would conceal the formula with diapers before leaving the store and loading the goods into a rental car. Each theft amounted to $350 to $900 worth of stolen items from the stores. They took the items to three other suspects who paid them for the items and then resold the items from the store.
