<p>The Santa Clara County Sheriff&#8217;s Department recovered more than 200 bottles of stolen wine and liquor as part of a retail theft and fencing operation in Santa Clara County.</p>
<p>Last October, the Sheriff&#8217;s Retail Theft Task Force busted a “booze booster” during a blitz operation — which led deputies straight to the fence.</p>
<p>>;Turns out, the key suspect was buying stolen wine daily from a group of boosters and selling it out of the trunk of his car.</p>
<p>Last Tuesday, search warrants were served at two homes:<;</p>
<p>At a San Jose apartment and inside vehicles, investigators found 150+ bottles of stolen wine and alcohol, along with:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="auto">&#8211; Suspected stolen seafood</li>
<li dir="auto">&#8211; Security sensors</li>
<li dir="auto">&#8211; $67,000 in cash</li>
</ul>
<p>In Morgan Hill, another 70+ bottles were recovered from a home.</p>
<p>In total, nearly $50,000 in suspected stolen property were recovered.</p>
<p>The fence, three boosters, and one stolen wine buyer were arrested by sheriff&#8217;s deputies.</p>
