Three fast-food employees have been arrested for running a complex and extensive theft ring out of the fried chicken restaurant they worked at, police say. The investigation began in December of last year in Tucson, Arizona, when a shoplifting case led investigators to become aware of “potential trafficking-in-stolen-property activity that involved employees of a chicken storefront,” according to a statement from the Tucson Police Department (TPD) in Arizona. “Investigators noted activity consistent with a fencing operation in which staff members of the restaurant were paying known shoplifters for items that were stolen from businesses in the area,” the Tucson Police Department said.
