He steals goods from Apple's warehouse and resells them for more than a million dollars

Apple-branded products have always enjoyed a certain profitabilitydue to their constant request and their lasting resale value in time.

Despite themselves, in more than one episode the Apple Stores have been targeted and sometimes become the scene of thefts and robberies.
And it would seem that another thing that has remained unchanged over time is precisely the interest in this type of crime against the Apple company.
This is demonstrated by the case of a former UPS employee accused of stealing Apple products worth a value more than a million dollars from a warehouse located in Canada.

The Jan. 22 arrest of Orville Martirez Beltrano, a former supervisor at a local UPS facility, was brought on charges that he used his position to steal Apple goods shipped through the company.

Canadian Lupine

Beltrano was reported by Global News and the Winnipeg Free Press in Canada stole approximately 866 Apple products.

The case came to light when UPS launched an investigation to find out why a significant number of products disappeared from the Winnipeg warehouse.
The attempts to sell the goods on the premises would have made the supervisor, who has been in service at the headquarters for over a decade, fall under suspicion. local Kijiji platformwhich involved him directly in buying and selling to consumers.

Undercover UPS agents installed surveillance cameras to identify the perpetrator, discovering Beltrano stealing products from pallets destined for shipment to Ontario.
During a single day in January this year, Beltrano would have taken 120 iPhones before UPS detected inventory anomalies and implemented preventative measures.

Apple financing

Analysis of bank accounts revealed that more than $232,000 in cash was deposited into Beltrano's account between September and January.
During the search, $9,000 in cash was found in a Nike bag in his vehicle, along with a MacBook and jewelry worth more than $9,100.

The man, self-confessed, claimed that the proceeds would be used to finance a house in the South Pointe neighborhood of Winnipeg worth $630,000 and to pay off a debt linked to a white Audi car worth $60,000.

The charges against Beltrano include theft of property worth more than $5,000, possession of property obtained through crime worth more than $5,000 and laundering the proceeds of crime.

Prosecutors are asking the court to seize his home, cash, vehicles and more.

This recent case adds to a series of equally sensational episodes regarding the theft of Apple products: episodes, as already mentioned, are not at all unusual for Cupertino stores, where thefts have also occurred through the bathroom wall.
