SEATTLE (AP) — King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg says two retail theft rings directed armies of shoplifters that cost Seattle, Wash. area stores, including Safeway and Fred Meyer, more than $6 million.

Satterberg told a Thursday morning news conference that the shoplifters — many of them drug addicts — grabbed items such as chicken breasts or razors and were paid pennies on the dollar.

In one case the operators of a small market in the Greenwood neighborhood resold stolen items at their store and online.

The other theft ring is accused of reselling stolen goods to small markets around the region and also packing them into automobile shipments destined for Cambodia.
