Daniel Jacob Thompson, 48, and Michael Charles Hummel, 30, were arrested Friday. It came one day after Phoenix police shared their photos and asked the public for help identifying the two suspects.
Police said the reported theft happened the afternoon of Sept. 27 at a storage facility near 24th Street and Campbell Avenue.
The suspects allegedly broke into the unit and stole high-end purses, MLB player-issued gear, collector’s shoes and several laptops. The items were valued at about $93,000, police said.
After learning the men had tried to sell a pair of the stolen shoes, detectives identified and arrested them, police said. Investigators got a search warrant and recovered evidence, including footwear, clothing with the victim’s name and electronics.
