Man busted for stealing from race teams for years, police say

A man is accused of stealing from race teams at speedways across the country.

Detectives recently searched Steven Sander’s Georgia home to find wallets, cash, credit cards, Social Security cards and $130,000 in unused gift cards.

"We've traced a majority of this stuff back to victims who had documented this stuff getting stolen, again, at raceways across the country," police said.

Sanders was arrested in Daytona in March after someone videotaped him stealing from an RV.

Police said Sanders got away with his crimes for years. So far, police said there are 43 victims.
