$50K Worth of Merchandise Stolen from Fry's Marketplace

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpiao said authorities nabbed two illegal immigrants after they dropped their cell phone at a Fry's Supermarket in Anthem.

"When they dropped their cell phone, our detectives went undercover and were able to meet the suspects and they were placed under arrest," said Arpaio. "They had stolen at least $50,000 dollars worth of merchandise from several Fry's stores across the Valley, including two in Anthem."

Arpiao said the suspects stole from Fry's by taking a barrel sold at the store, filled it with merchandise from the shelves and walked out the front door.

Both men have been deported before, one of them six times. A third man, who was driving when the suspects were arrested, was also an illegal immigrant.
