Hot deals at the Swap Shop got several vendors in hot water on Friday as police officers raided the Broward outdoor flea market in search of stolen goods.
At least 11 people were arrested after the Swap Shop opened for reselling stolen electronics and other popular items, police said.
BSO and Lauderhill and Fort Lauderdale police departments said an eight month investigation revealed vendors were going into neighborhoods and breaking into houses to find merchandise.
Police were still going booth to booth Friday looking for "hot" bargains.
More arrest may be on the way. Police loaded the stolen property in a pick up truck and hauled it off.
