Fishers Police began working with ‘big box” retailers in Fishers in March of 2019, in an effort to apprehend a man police describe as a “millionaire shoplifter.”

Authorities say that led to the arrest of Ryan Walker, 35, from Indianapolis. He faces several charges, including 8 felony counts of forgery.

As officers tell the story, as the result of a joint effort involving area retailers, state, local, and federal law enforcemen, Fishers police were able to develop a suspect.  After several days of surveillance, officers were able to gather information and evidence leading to the arrest of Walker.

According to Fishers Police, Walker had been selling stolen merchandise since 2010 through his on-line E-Bay Business Account and had customers from all over the world. Officers obtained a subpoena for E-Bay records and confirmed Walker had received payments in excess of 1.1 million dollars since 2010.

Walker is being held in the Hamilton County Jail.
