http://www.privateofficer.com/– Investigators with the sheriff’s department said that after three weeks of investigating, they have uncovered a burglary and shoplifting ring in Idaho Falls.
The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office said that what makes this crime even more interesting is what one suspect did for a living.
Travis Hathaway, 29, was employee of an area J.C. Penney store and worked as a loss prevention officer.
Police said he used his insider knowledge to find weaknesses at his workplace and other retailers in the area.
On January 10, police arrested Hathaway for shoplifting a TV from the K-Mart on 17th Street.
Since then, investigators have worked on information and evidence that has helped them to uncover a four-man burglary and shoplifting ring.
The suspects are accused of stealing more than $50,000 worth of merchandise from stores in Idaho Falls.
“In doing some of the interviews, it appears that Hathaway was using some of his ties and information from the other stores to know when was a good time to go into those stores to steal,” said Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Doug Metcalf.
Police say Hathaway and the three other suspects stole from JC Penny, Fred Meyer, Shopco, and Kmart.
Sheriff investigators say that more charges are pending and that the group has been charged with felonies and are awaiting trial.
