“As a result of this investigation, Cody William Scott, 28, of Calgary, has been charged with several counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000,” according to police.

The cache of stolen goods includes many items in their retail packaging. Police believe they were stolen directly from stores, rather than from homes.

Some items still had price tags. “It is possible that what they found is a window into an organized retail crime operation,” said a police release.

“The goods are usually taken through planned, systematic shoplifting and then are sold to the public through classified ads, online sales, flea markets or on the black market.”

The haul was located in several storage facilities and one private home. Along with the sheer amount of stuff, it was notable for how neatly everything was kept. Police found racks and racks of clothing.

“It’s just insurmountable,” Inspector Nancy Farmer told the Calgary Herald when asked to describe the amount of goods seized. “The list is endless.”
