Two Men Indicted for $140K Walmart Theft Ring Across Arizona

Two men, Alexander Moreno Dantzler and Christopher Campos-Henrey, have been indicted on a combined 70 counts related to an organized retail theft and stolen property trafficking ring targeting Walmart stores across multiple Arizona counties, including Pima, Maricopa, Pinal, Cochise, Graham, Mohave, and Yavapai. The ring is accused of stealing over $140,000 worth of merchandise, including high-value electronics such as Nintendo Switches, PlayStation VR2, Xbox and PlayStation 5 consoles, as well as other items like cologne, headphones, an electric scooter, a Samsung soundbar, and a smart TV. The indictments followed two investigations conducted by the Arizona Attorney General's Office in coordination with several local law enforcement agencies. The charges include organized retail theft, fraud, theft, conspiracy, and illegal control of an enterprise. These thefts reportedly occurred between May and September 2024. The widespread nature of the alleged ring highlights ongoing challenges with organized retail crime across the state.
