Charges solve multiple auto parts store thefts, police say
News from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
|
Two men suspected of binding employees while robbing a series of Milwaukee auto parts stores have been charged with multiple counts of false imprisonment and armed robbery with use of force. Police said more charges could follow.
Milwaukee police were able to follow Robert Earl Nash, 32, and Jason L. Wilson, 29, on Feb. 14 from a house near Washington Park on the city’s west side to an auto-parts store on W. Capitol Drive, where the men committed their last armed robbery, according to a criminal complaint released Tuesday. Both men were on probation for other crimes at the time, police said.

But police noticed similar modes of operation and description of suspects, and an anonymous tip…………… continues on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
eBay Acquires WHI Solutions to Boost Auto Parts Catalog
News from Auctionbytes:
eBay is acquiring WHI Solutions (WHI), a provider of software and digital catalog solutions for auto parts distributors and retailers. eBay had previously entered into an agreement with WHI Solutions that allowed it access to millions of parts through Nexpart, WHI’s ecommerce solution.

eBay has been rolling out catalog in certain categories in an attempt to improve search results, which are hampered by its traditionally unstructured data, and in 2010, eBay Motors rolled out a Parts Compatibility feature called “Fitment.” Using the feature, sellers create one listing describing a single part that automatically adds a complete list of compatible vehicle…………… continues on Auctionbytes

O’Reailly Auto Parts Coming to Northfield
News from Patch.com:
Northfield will soon have another auto parts store.
O’Reilly Auto Parts, a national chain of auto parts stores, plans to buy the property and building that formerly housed the Northfield Athletic Club at 1000 Highway 3 S., which is next to Culver’s.
Kyle Snesrud, who owns the building, told Northfield Patch that he has a contract to sell it to O’Reilly and hopes to close the deal Jan. 16.
