Broward Sheriff's ORC unit bust major identity theft ring operating in South Florida - took 2 yrs. to bust  This case began as a routine fraud case two years ago then spiraled into a lengthy investigation. Eight people have been indicted on federal charges and six are in custody, according to BSO Sergeant Rich Rossman, of the Organized Retail Crime Unit.

D.C. police arrest members of rap group in retail store ORC thefts targeting cellphones  The brazen thefts over the past 16 months cost shops $77,000 and were carried out as customers browsed, authorities said Thursday, noting that some phones were taken by stealth — under the noses of distracted clerks — while others were forcefully ripped off shelves. Arrested were members and associates of a group called Jet Gang, including rappers known as G-Five Weezy and Astronaut Mac. Earlier this week, police raided an electronics store on H Street NW and arrested the owner on charges that he trafficked in stolen phones and computers. Police said they built their case after noticing a pattern targeting primarily T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T stores, reviewed video surveillance and recruited an informant who had participated in some of the thefts.
