Detectives raided pawn shops associated with a polygamous sect after receiving complaints from Home Depot, according to search warrants in the case.
The warrants also show that besides seizing suspected stolen property at businesses operating under names such as Xtreme Pawn, Sportsmans Pawn or Sportsmans Fast Cash, the Utah Attorney General’s Office received a judge’s permission to seize about $28,000 in two accounts at a credit union.
The search warrant says the accounts are suspected of conducting transactions totaling about $216,000 in stolen goods.
However, the warrants give no indication the Utah Attorney General’s Office is conducting a larger investigation into the Kingston Group, also known as the Davis County Cooperative Society.
