Police who raided secondhand shops in Worthing have arrested two dealers.
One was charged with handling stolen goods and another was cautioned.
Detective Inspector Paul Williams said: "We are increasingly going to be targeting outlets for stolen property.
"If thieves have nowhere to get rid of their ill-gotten gains, they will have less of an incentive to steal.
"We now have sophisticated techniques to identify dishonest traders. People who knowingly take stolen goods are as dishonest as those who carry out the stealing."
