Michigan State Police allege what was happening at the Omni Liquor Store on Detroit's west side was rooted in fraud, accusing the store of being involved in a fencing operation - selling stolen goods.

Around 10 a.m. Tuesday, members of MSP's Emergency Support Team helped execute a search warrant with their fraud investigators.

MSP 1st Lt. James Grady says the store became a target of a lengthy investigation after drug addicts were being caught shoplifting at major stores. 

It's alleged that the store was being used to resell and/or store some of the stolen items.
