BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON (AP) — A Burlington man who stole books, Lego and other items from retail
stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire then resold them online for about half
their retail cost has pleaded guilty.
Federal prosecutors say 67-year-old John Strang pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S.
District Court to interstate transportation of stolen property.
Prosecutors say Strang shoplifted as much as $600,000 worth of goods — primarily
books, audiobooks and Lego — from various stores since 2007.
He then sold them online for 40 percent to 50 percent off the retail price and
shipped them across the U.S.
Strang faces a maximum of 10 years in prison at sentencing scheduled for Oct.
15.
