Durham Regional Police say $2 million worth of merchandise from an Amazon warehouse in Ajax, Ont. was stolen over a two-year span, and five people are facing charges.
Police said an investigation began in November into two employees at an Amazon Fulfillment Centre on Salem Road.
The force said they were contacted by Amazon Loss Prevention who alleged that the two employees were responsible for the merchandise theft.
A search warrant was executed in December at a Scarborough home and the two employees were arrested. Three more suspects were found at the residence during the search and also arrested, police said.
