Man charged for organized retail theft crime spree

A 30-year-old man faces 42 counts for stealing tens of thousands of dollars from Home Depot stores over a two-year period.

A man accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of construction equipment from Valley Home Depot stores over a two-year period has been indicted.

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office says 30-year-old Jeremy Beene faces 42 counts in connection to the thefts, which happened between February 2022 and June 2024. Beene was allegedly captured on surveillance video committing the thefts at stores in Chandler, Mesa and Phoenix.

MCAO says Beene admitted to stealing and reselling the merchandise to fund his drug habit.

Man who stole $1M worth of merchandise in AZ, other states sentenced to prison

A "prolific" organized retail thief was sentenced to years in prison after being convicted of stealing more than a million dollars worth of merchandise in Arizona, among other states.

"At the end of the day, we all pay for those who commit this type of crime," Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said. "The loss to stores has a real domino effect and that is higher prices for consumers."

Beene is accused of 38 counts of organized retail theft and four counts of shoplifting. He is currently jailed on a $35,000 bond.
