Earlier this week, detectives with the Amarillo Police Department’s Theft and Burglary Squad served a search warrant at 2809 Tampa Bay as part of an ongoing investigation into organized retail theft.
During the operation, detectives arrested Adam Moreno for Organized Retail Theft. Moreno and his associates had been under investigation for approximately two months.
The search resulted in the recovery of approximately $80,000 worth of stolen retail merchandise. It took detectives more than three hours to properly document and inventory the recovered property. Members of the Property Division assisted with loading and storing the items.
