Police in Jeffersontown are looking for three suspects they allege were part of the Lowe’s theft ring that has already landed two people behind bars.
On November 14, two men were arrested for allegedly stealing more than $300,000 worth of merchandize from multiple stores.
Aubrey Walker and William Walker were in court Wednesday on charges of theft and organized crime. William Walker also had charges in Franklin and Hardin counties.
Jeffersontown Police Chief Rick Sanders said his officers served warrants across Louisville on Tuesday as part of a stolen property recovery operation.
On Thursday, Sanders said they are looking for three more suspects wanted in connection to the investigation: 60-year-old Anthony Maurice Phillips, 56-year-old Gary Lee Caman and 42-year-old Robert Edward Lewis.
The theft ring targeted stores in Jeffersontown, Louisville, Frankfort, Lexington and Owensboro in Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana.
According to police, the overall loss by Lowe’s in Louisville was more than $300,000 and the theft ring’s cumulative losses over $900,000.
The suspects used Lowe’s business account information to make the purchases, then stored and installed the stolen merchandise in their homes and investment properties.
