Police Seize Suspected Stolen Goods Bound for Online Retailers

Police raided a Southern California warehouse filled with an estimated $2 million worth of suspected stolen merchandise they say likely would have ended up on online marketplaces run by Amazon.com Inc. and other retailers.

The California Highway Patrol’s cargo theft unit obtained a search warrant to inspect the Santa Ana facility — just off Interstate 5 about 30 miles south of Los Angeles — following months of surveillance and communication with Amazon and other retailers, according to a person familiar with the investigation. About a dozen officers wearing tactical gear raided the warehouse and lot. They handcuffed three men as the operation continued.
