District police raided a dozen small stores Monday, arresting 16 people who authorities said were dealing in stolen goods, including electronics, baby formula and over-the-counter drugs.

Police spokeswoman Gwen Crump said the three-week operation was launched to combat a rash of thefts including snatch-and-grabs and thefts from autos.
