Guinea Pig Club member Sandy Saunders, from Burton Lazars in Leicestershire, died from cancer on Sunday night.
It happened a while back, on Friday 9 December. A lorry - believed to have been using a false number plate - arrived at the warehouse in Magna Park and collected 26 pallets of alcohol.
A 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a theft offence, the force said.

How far could Melton Mowbray's Jane Austen £5 note have gone?
Liam Barnes
BBC News Online
Ferguson MediaCopyright: Ferguson Media
Remember the special set of £5 notes engraved with tiny portraits of Jane Austen?
Nearly three months on, how far can the rare note have gone?
According to one study, a banknote can
change hands more than 250 times
in about two years in circulation, so it could have passed through several people's pockets by now.
With the pie shop saying it had thousands of visitors queuing up and checking their fivers after the news broke last year, it could well have gone beyond Leicestershire too.
Considering it's valued at up to £50,000, it's probably worth having a check in your wallet. The serial number's AM32 885554, and it includes the quote from Pride and Prejudice pictured below.

Last £5 note 'worth £50,000' still being sought
Liam Barnes
BBC News Online
A rare £5 note featuring an image of Jane Austen is still on the loose - nearly three months after it was
spent in Melton Mowbray
.
Engraved with a portrait of the author, who died 200 years ago, it's been compared to Willy Wonka's golden ticket, and is said to be worth up to £50,000.
Three other similar notes spent in
Northern Ireland
,
Scotland
and
Wales
have all been traced, leaving just one more to be found.
I've been out to the pork pie shop, where it was spent, to see if there's been any sign of the elusive fiver.

Background to Braunstone Gate murder
Amy Woodfield
BBC Local Live
Let me just remind you of what happened to Adam Bent in July last year.
The 31-year-old was stabbed in what police called an "unprovoked attack".
Both he and 21-year-old Fields had been at a bar in the Braunstone Gate area of Leicester. After the pair left, there was a fight and Mr Bent was stabbed once in the chest.
Members of the public gave him first aid at the scene but he died later in hospital.
Fields, from Gresley Close in Leicester, pleaded guilty to his murder back in October last year.

Your Questions: How did Shepshed get its name?
Amy Woodfield
BBC Local Live
Paul Clark, who used to live in Shepshed, used
Your Questions
to ask how the town got its name.
He now lives all
the way over in Sydney, Australia, but said it's something he's "always wondered" about the town he grew up in.

Well - I've been making calls and doing some research - and I think I now have an answer for you.
Reading from the book "A History of Shepshed by Anthony J. Lacey", a local history expert told me the town was originally known as Scepeshefde Regis - meaning "hill where the sheep graze".
The book claims the town's name has changed at least 10 times over the years but has always been a form of the words "sheep" and "shed". This is because it was a big sheep wool trading town.
Even now, the town council’s Role of Honour Board has a sheep and shed in its logo.
