“During an arbitrary search for brass being scrapped in the Houston area, I located a load of brass pumps. I ran a complete scrap history of the person and learned he had scrapped the same material approximately 150 times over the past year. I located the owner of the material which was a company that manufactured the product. I learned the individual worked for the company. The total monetary loss of the product was estimated to be approximately 2.5 million. The individual was subsequently arrested and charged.”
