Two men and a teenager were taken into custody after allegedly stealing cans of powdered baby formula from supermarkets in Georgia, according to police.
Officers searched the vehicle and discovered an additional 662 cans valued at $26,000, police said.
The two adults were charged with felony theft by shoplifting, felony theft by receiving and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Regulo Sanchez-Romero was also charged with driving while unlicensed and Mateo Sanchez-Romero was also charged with providing a false name and date of birth.Both men gave officers Dallas, addresses, police said. They were both booked into the Bartow County Jail.
Investigators are working to determine if the suspects were also responsible for similar thefts in other jurisdictions. This comes as baby formula has been difficult to find over the past year after FDA inspectors temporarily shut down the largest domestic formula factory in the U.S. because of bacterial contamination.
