In a significant crackdown on organized retail theft, the Utah Attorney General’s Crimes Against Statewide Economy (C.A.S.E.) Strike Force apprehended Manuel Gonzalez, accused of conducting a series of thefts at Home Depot stores across Utah. The sting resulted in the recovery of over $82,000 in stolen merchandise, including various home improvement items such as electrical outlets, breakers, switches, and carbon monoxide detectors, which were found in the suspect’s motel room and van after a search warrant was executed.
