ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Thieves targeted an Orlando business nearly 30 times in the past few weeks and have gotten away with some unusual loot. More than 1,000 rolls of toilet paper are missing from the United Supply Company.
Orange County investigators said they caught Christopher Edge walking down Orange Blossom Trail with a large bag filled with hundreds of rolls of toilet paper. They said Edge admitted to selling the loot for $1 a roll.
"He was selling it to people in the neighborhood. Selling it for crack, something to eat, something to drink," said Andre Davis of the United Supply Company. "And to go to jail for a few rolls of toilet tissue? That's just wrong."
Edge has been arrested twice for stealing toilet paper from United Supply Company. The business recently installed a new alarm system that they hope will keep other potential thieves away.
