Booster stores are where you can buy goods “boosted” (stolen)
from retail stores and then resold at huge discounts. I have heard rumors of
booster stores operating in Coatesville.
Some people said that a person once known as a major drug
seller in Chester County “moved on”. I think he moved on to something bigger
than a local booster store. I think he became a player in a nationwide retail
theft ring.
Organized Retail Theft
A $30 Billion-a-Year Industry
"It’s a telling case: a few years ago, members of two criminal organizations in California were charged for their role in a large-scale fencing operation to buy and sell over-the-counter health and beauty products—as well as other items like camera film, batteries, and infant formula—that had been stolen from major retail chain stores. The merchandise was then passed off to crooked out-of-state wholesale distributors, who just sold it back to unsuspecting retailers."
