NARRATIVE OF INCIDENT:
During the week of March 18th, 2024, members of the Springfield Police Department Crime Reduction Unit worked with loss prevention personnel from multiple businesses in the Springfield Gateway area. During a five-hour period, 10 individuals were arrested for various crimes as listed below in addition to various outstanding warrants. None of the arrested individuals made any attempt to pay for the items they had taken from inside the store.

Of the 10 suspects arrested multiple were in possession of stolen merchandise from other retailers as well. Ultimately, $6,211 worth of stolen property was recovered and was later returned to its rightful owners.
