A Virginia carpenter reportedly helped Maryland police crack down on a major theft case, where suspects stole around 15,000 construction tools in the DMV area.

Maryland police recently recovered around 15,000 stolen construction tools in a massive theft case, thanks to a quick-thinking carpenter looking for justice. The Howard County Police Department announced the bust on May 23, calling the case "one of the largest and most expansive theft cases in the region in recent years." Authorities said the cache of 15,000 tools, which were recently found in a storage facility, was worth between $3 and $5 million.

The business owner, who employs around 14 workers, according to the Post, tracked the suspects to a storage facility and alerted authorities. The carpenter lost around 50 tools in the thefts and has only recovered a few. "They don’t know what they do to me," the carpenter said. "They steal our job." Police confirmed that a tracking device was used in the investigation in a press release.
