Overview
- Investigators executed a search warrant at an Anaheim warehouse on Thursday, June 18, and recovered multiple loads of suspected stolen cargo tied to an ongoing probe.
- CHP officials say the haul has a preliminary value of more than $2,223,000 and included TaylorMade golf balls, Meta server switches, Tamiya hobby products and boxed pallets of other merchandise.
- The operation was carried out by the CHP Border Division Cargo Theft Interdiction Program and Organized Retail Crime units.
- Two people detained during the search were later released after investigators determined they were not involved, and no arrests have been announced as the investigation continues.
- CHP Border Division Assistant Chief Michael Vargas called organized retail crime harmful to businesses and consumers and asked anyone with information to report tips through the agency’s Retail Theft Program Forum, noting recovered goods can disrupt supply chains and raise costs for shoppers.
