A man accused of running a Massachusetts shoplifting ring of more than 20 people was indicted by a grand jury this week, prosecutors said.
John F. Duplease, Jr., a 68-year-old from Lancaster, was indicted by a Worcester County grand jury on charges including organized retail theft enterprise and aggravated organized retail crime, county prosecutors said Wednesday. Penny Williams, a 43-year-old from Fitchburg, was also indicted, on a charge of organized retail crime.
Duplease was arrested last May following a local and state police investigation of over a year, prosecutors said. When Duplease was arrested, officers found about 4,600 of stolen merchandise, including Legos and coffee machines, police said at the time.
