A quartet of suspects worked together in a $1.6 million theft of Valley company Avnet’s electronics, Chandler Detective David Ramer confirmed Wednesday.

Video surveillance recovered from the scene shows what took place during the theft, and that video will be available in about a day, Ramer said.

Police are still searching for one suspect who was shown in the surveillance, Ramer said. The other three suspects were captured.

Bobby Steve was arrested by police on Monday after being identified through the surveillance, Ramer said.

Two other arrests were of juvenile suspects. Their complaints have been filed through the Maricopa County Juvenile Court, Ramer said.

The names of the two youths have not been released because of their ages.

Police recovered $1.2 million of Avnet electronics, Ramer said.

Further information regarding recovery of the electronics and a video of the remaining suspect will be released Thursday morning, Ramer said.
