Deputies arrested a store owner accused of selling stolen sporting goods and hardware in Floyd County.

The Floyd County Sheriff's Office said deputies arrested 42-year-old Earl Lamar Renfroe Jr. after investigators collected evidence at West Rome Trading Company for more than 20 hours during a search warrant.

Investigators found more than $87,000 in items allegedly stolen from The Home Depot, Walmart, Academy Sports, Lowe’s and Dunham’s Sport. Investigators found more than $23,000 in baseball bats in addition to tools, cameras, lawn equipment, GPS equipment, televisions, tooth brushes and maternity supplies.

Renfroe is currently charged with theft by receiving stolen property and conspiracy to commit a theft. Investigators believe some stolen property came from burglaries and thefts. Floyd County Investigative Commander Jeff Jones said there is a "very high probability" that there is stolen property in the store that was traded from crimes in the area.

Deputies said Cartersville police first arrested a suspect outside Home Depot. Investigators linked stolen property to West Rome Trading Company. 

Police think property could have been stolen from Marietta and Hiram as well as surrounding counties.
