A 39-year-old Pompano Beach man was arrested in Broward County as part of a statewide investigation into organized retail theft involving trading cards.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, the case was developed in collaboration with the Florida Attorney General’s Office and the Office of Statewide Prosecution, with assistance from sheriff’s offices in Broward and Martin counties. Authorities stated that the investigation focused on a series of alleged thefts at retail stores across Florida.

Sources report that between July 2025 and February 2026, the man allegedly committed 75 thefts at multiple store locations ranging from Orlando to Homestead. Investigators believe he selected large boxes of trading cards along with low-cost grocery items, such as taco seasoning packets. He allegedly used self-checkout registers to scan and pay only for the lower-priced items before leaving the stores with the trading cards.

A man who was a pastor that runs a sober living house was accused of also running a shoplifting ring in Florida that allegedly stole more than $1 M worth of goods.

According to reports, the Rock Church and Recovery Program in St. Petersburg was founded by a now-former pastor who also ran a sober living facility. While he was in charge, the man allegedly threatened to harm some of the tenants so they would agree to steal items that he reportedly planned to resell online.

The pastor reportedly set up an eBay store named “Anointed Liquidator” for the transactions. He allegedly had his mother and wife handle some of the sales, while two of the tenants from the sober living residence went to Home Depot stores in Citrus, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota Counties. They allegedly stole approximately $1.4 M worth of name-brand items by visiting the locations many times each day.
