Million-dollar theft ring uncovered in central Fla.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Five people were arrested, accused of being involved in a central Florida Internet theft ring.
 
Officials said Marc Kolarik made about $1.2 million over the past year by selling stolen goods on eBay. A six-week investigation found that four others brought the merchandise to Kolarik.
 
Authorities said the group targeted Walmart, Target, Publix and Winn-Dixie stores in Volusia, Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties.
 
The Volusia County Sheriff's said deputies found a "virtual warehouse" of merchandise of stolen items, including razor blades, oral hygiene, hair products, remote-control cars and gift cards.
 
The five suspects are charged with racketeering and conspiracy to commit racketeering.
