Allan,

I agree with you. There’s bound to be more retailers out there who have been hit by this group. There aren’t a lot of details out there right now, though. Once the police wrap up their investigation, I’m sure we’ll hear more…

How would two police officers end up befriending two Wal-Mart employees? Maybe this is one of a few fence operations that Barber is behind, and this is the first one they caught. If it was Wal-Mart LP that caught him in this instance, it’s likely that his other fencing scams will never be busted. If it was the FBI then they probably will be. But by the sounds of it this was caught by local police and Wal-Mart LP. Either way they’re unemployed now. What idiots!
