MISHAWAKA, Ind. (WNDU) - Police have arrested one man in the theft of a Walmart trailer full of goods.
They found it off of Grape Road Monday morning with the contents being unloaded into a local home.
After hearing information about a possible stolen Walmart trailer full of merchandise, one sitting out in the middle of someone's yard on Grape Road looked a little suspicious to police.
They took a look and found the trailer was stolen and it was being unloaded by several people. One man, 42-year-old Josephvon Johnson of Jackson, Tennessee was arrested for the theft of the Walmart trailer from a store in Lansing, Illinois...So how did it end up here?
Someone at the house says his cousin bought something on a discount warehouse website, and that's what led to the trailer making its way to Mishawaka.
After all of the action calmed down, Walmart sent its people in to reclaim their lost inventory. But it's hard work. I ended up helping out for 15 minutes or so and found that the entire garage was filled to the brim with products. And to make things worse, each item had been removed from its pallet, meaning forklifts were useless. The employees had to move everything by hand. This wasn't just one product being carried, there was everything from small candles, to bicycles, food, and more. So there was no way to sort what was being thrown in. Even with half a dozen people, the work looked like it was going to take a few hours just to load back up the truck.
Right now, police still won't say how an entire trailer was stolen from Walmart, but we'll keep you updated as we learn more.
The case is currently with the Saint Joseph County Prosecutor's Office for review and formal charges.
Mishawaka police say if you have any information on the case, you should call them at 574-258-1684.
I have unloaded trucks from walmart, while working there anyway. I don’t buy light bulbs, electronics or appliances from walmart.

A fully laden Walmart trailer must have a street value of at least $1,200.
Trailer was being unloaded by several people, yet only one guy gets arrested. Great work, cops.
They’d steal the eye teeth out of a chicken given half a chance.
Vermin. I hate a thief
Depends if it has a cigarette pallet. Don’t know how wallyworld does it, but Food Lion cig pallet would come in on the regular grocery truck and be more expensive than the rest of the truck combined. Back in the day those were pretty pricey, now even more so I would imagine.

“Someone at the house says his cousin bought something on a discount warehouse website, and that’s what led to the trailer making its way to Mishawaka. “
Oh come on, they can’t possibly believe anyone would believe that story
“It fell off the back of a truck” to “I ordered something online from a website I can’t remember and an entire WalMart Truck shows up in my front yard”
BS Story and the cops actually wrote it down
lol.
“Trailer was being unloaded by several people, yet only one guy gets arrested. Great work, cops.”
But if your grass was an inch too high in 2016, the judge will suspend your driver’s license and put an warrant out for your arrest.
“I have unloaded trucks from walmart, while working there anyway. I don’t buy light bulbs, electronics or appliances from walmart.”
or eggs ... have always found most cartons had broken eggs in them ...
ROFL!
Another member of the Dindu McNuffin tribe, I see
When I started smoking some time ago, dual filter tsrytons were $2.49 a carton.....my dad bought cigs from a machine when I was a kid, they were $.20 per pack and there were 2 pennies in the pack!!!!!
The food lion trucks always got a two hundred dollar fine for being over loaded. I had a trucker tell me what do they care, they have a half pallet of cigs on it that costs 40 grand. Don’t know if it was true.

When I managed one of the largest and most profitable Wawa stores a case of 30 cartons of cigs averaged around $1100. A full case of Newports was way more than that, so a half pallet of cigs would easily be $40K. The prices now have gone up even more. My store would get 30 or more cases every two days and we would be out or almost out by the end of the two days.
My store was right on I-95 in Virginia and the travelers would buy the max allowed by law.
Oh yeah we always had to lock up the cig pallet in the security room. The part I don’t know about was the trucks getting fined at the scales as a matter of routine policy. They would stuff cases on top of the pallets jammed up to the roof. Had to climb up and pull it off before you could raise the pallet up.
