The three men implicated in "Operation Sticky Fingers" pleaded guilty, joining an extensive network of 24 charged with retail theft of over $1 million in cannabis-related items.
The theft operation involved mob-style burglaries across nine counties, with Santa Cruz County being notably impacted, demonstrating a significant challenge in securing cannabis businesses.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta emphasized that the coordinated effort led to significant convictions, yet over a dozen suspects remain uncharged and awaiting preliminary hearings.
Each of the guilty men faces varied sentences, with Gainey receiving an additional 16 months total confinement, highlighting the serious penalties for involvement in cannabis theft.
