Police in Northern California arrested two men who were found with about 100 stolen packages during a traffic stop.

KTXL-TV reports police say they stopped 30-year-old Movses Dermishyan and 39-year-old Jacob Booth in Roseville as part of a stolen tailgate investigation and found the stolen packages and the tailgate.

Officials say a witness saw the tailgate theft and gave police a physical description of the suspects’ van.

Officers on Friday tracked down the van nearby and found the stolen tailgate inside along with dozens of packages that were stolen from across Placer and Sacramento counties.

Both suspects were arrested and booked into South Placer County Jail on numerous charges, including grand theft and illegal drug possession.
