The two arrests were the culmination of a year-long investigation into the pair selling stolen merchandise, deputies said. Investigators dubbed the operation “Getting Rich” as a play on the name of the pawn shop, Richie’s Pawn.
Etskovitz and Skehan are facing numerous felony counts of organized dealing in stolen property.
Deputies have not released additional information on what was being sold or the amount made from the criminal operation.
