Walmart and other retail stores have dealt with shoplifters for years. But this was retail theft on a massive scale.

Indiana police arrested a Tennessee man and charged him with stealing a Walmart trailer full of merchandise, WNDU reported.

Josephvon Johnson, 42, of Jackson, Tennessee, was arrested in Mishawaka, Indiana, and charged with stealing a Walmart trailer from a store in Lansing, Illinois, WNDU reported. Several people were unloading the trailer and bringing the goods into a residence, police said.

Walmart workers were dispatched to the home to reclaim the lost inventory, WXIN reported.

The case is under review by the Saint Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office.
