Sacramento sheriff’s deputies seize $25,000 of stolen Disney merchandise, arrest suspect
Sacramento deputies arrested a person who was suspected of stealing $25,000 worth of Disney merchandise and listing it for sale online.
In a news release, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said that property crime detectives uncovered the theft of massive amounts of Disney gear last month, but it was only recently that a suspect was identified.
After deputies found some of the stolen items — which included figurines from some of the media conglomerate’s most beloved children’s films — listed on online auction sites, and investigators began to find the seller.
After searching through the auction sites and additional social media sites, detectives identified a suspect. They then searched a hotel room, workplace and a storage unit rented by the suspect, which yielded $25,000 worth of the stolen Disney collectibles.
Deputies also obtained information regarding 10 other persons of interest and found a small amount of methamphetamine during their search.
The suspect was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.
