BLAINE MN: The Blaine Police Department says officers recently recovered approximately $3,800 worth of stolen power tools connected to three separate shoplifting incidents at Fleet Farm.
According to police, the stolen merchandise included Milwaukee and DeWalt tools. Investigators determined that after the thefts, the suspects pawned the stolen items.
The Blaine Police Retail Unit was able to identify the suspects, locate the pawned tools, and recover the merchandise. The recovered tools have since been returned to Fleet Farm.
Police said retail theft has a broader impact beyond the immediate loss of merchandise, affecting businesses, employees, and ultimately consumers through increased costs.
The department also thanked its partners for assisting in the investigation, helping hold offenders accountable, and recovering the stolen property.
