Bigger retail outlets have dedicated loss prevention professionals who monitor the store for theft and investigate crimes.
They arent cops themselves, but often partner with them.

I only stumped them on two pieces when I would give a shot to finish sets off.
BUT he was very difficult to deal with.
I am a little surprised by this though.
Not sure how he thought he wouldnt get caught.
The cops posted the haul on Facebook, posing in front of a mountain of Legos.
The stores owner and one employee were charged with Organized Retail Theft and Theft I, receiving stolen merchandise.
The Organized Theft Charge alone carries a possibletwo-year prison sentence.
