According to detectives, instead of returning the pallets to CHEP, D&S was selling them.The recovered pallets are worth $10,000. The significance of the recovery is that certain grocery stores and other merchants will only accept merchandise packaged on CHEP pallets.By not returning the pallets, and then allegedly selling them, detectives say D & S was then allegedly engaged in dealing in stolen property.
