storesIt was a classic police operation - cops, guns, a warrant, stolen goods. Michigan state troopers raided Oak Ridge Market in Fraser on Tuesday - along with several other grocery stores in the metropolitan Detroit area - and came away with a major haul of contraband - stolen cookies. Totaling the day's action, police confiscated more than 13,000 boxes of Nabisco Nilla Wafers and Ritz Bits.Police say the owners of Oak Ridge Markets unwittingly purchased - and then sold - stolen food.
A state police spokesman said Oak Ridge is among several stores in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties to sell cookies and crackers that had been stolen from the Kraft Foods/Nabisco company.
Oak Ridge has been in business for more than 30 years - 24 in Fraser. Owners Ron Kohler and Raleigh Wilburn say the pallets of food confiscated by state police Friday were bought and paid for through a broker.
