COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said it has uncovered a shoplifting ring behind a string of thefts across central Ohio over the last three months.

Now, detectives are asking for the public’s help in shutting down the ring for good.

One suspect, Mark Long, is behind bars and faces 21 charges related to the thefts.

Detectives said small, local convenience stores gave Long a “shoplifting list” which he took to large stores like Target and Sephora. Long then allegedly stole those items on the list, usually including perfumes, electronics and more.

Long then took those items back to the smaller convenience stores to sell at a discount, the sheriff’s office said.

Detectives said these kinds of thefts eventually affect consumers.

“So if you’re looking to get an item, what used to cost $19 may be $22 now because we have almost $30,000 of associated retail crime just with one individual,” Franklin County Sheriff’s Det. Caleb Loposser said. “That cost is effectively pushed on to the consumer down the road.”

Sheriff’s detectives haven’t named the small convenience stores and are looking for three people of interest and a suspect vehicle, a red Hyundai Tucson, pictured below.
