Retail store "large-scale fencing operation" in Milwaukee County
After an extensive investigation earlier this year, police believe the store was not just a good place to pick up groceries, but a bustling place for residents to unload gold, gems, precious metals, GPS devices, cell phones, musical instruments, computer tablets and tools. Police say nearly 500 different kinds of tools, including saws, cordless power drills, weed whackers and drywall equipment were stored in the store's basement. That wasn't all. Carniceria El Indio also doubled as a kind of alternative drugstore for residents without access to a doctor. Investigators say the store was selling medication such as penicillin and other antibiotics from Mexico as well as banned vitamins over the counter, no questions asked. With investigations still under way, Vega and his wife, Rosa Guzman, have each been charged with two counts of possession with the intent to deliver prescriptions. Suspecting the store was a large-scale fencing operation, Thiele said his officers confiscated the goods and tools from the store. It took the equivalent of a 24-hour shift for officers to remove the goods, Thiele said, and filled two truckloads. The tools and other goods were eventually returned to the store's owners because it could not be proved they were stolen. "It's one thing to sell prescription medication, but we believe we were able to shut down a fencing operation," Thiele said. (Source jsonline.com)
