The man worked in the parcel sorting department for almost 9 months he stole 60 of iPhone-hate, iPadATVs and MacBookfrom the parcels passing through his unit. The parcels were products ordered by customers from the Apple company, and the investigation carried out by the US police revealed that the man hid the products in his clothes in order to leave the UPS unit with them.
Police say a 31-year-old Dumfries man has been charged with embezzlement of over 60 Apple products. Stephen A. Owens, a UPS sorter, was reportedly taking unopened Apple products, stuffing them into his pants or otherwise concealing them and then selling them at bargain prices, officials say. Thefts were reportedly taking place in batches since September 2012, and included such items as Macbooks, iPhones, iPods and iPads all being shipped directly from Apple to new customers. UPS became suspicious when customers started calling to inquire or complain that they had not received their products.
The man was arrested by the police, but the damage was borne by the Apple company, considering that the products represented orders sent by its stores to customers.
