⚡️Flashback Friday!!!
On Tuesday the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office announced a major bust! Operation Killswitch 🔌🔋
It was the largest organized retail theft case in Home Depot history!
Over the past several months, our Organized Retail Theft Task Force uncovered a sophisticated theft ring responsible for stealing over $10 million in merchandise from Home Depot stores across Southern California. So far:
✅ 14 people arrested
✅ 9 charged
✅ $3.7 million in stolen property recovered (and counting)
This investigation exposed how thieves targeted expensive electrical components, reselling them through storefronts, online sales, and fencing operations.
A huge thank-you to our media partners for helping share this important message. We remain committed to dismantling these networks and protecting our communities.
