Recently, Tinydeal noticed that, according to Canadian Global News and the Winnipeg Free Press, Orville Beltrano, a former UPS courier in Winnipeg, Canada, was arrested. He was suspected of stealing Apple products worth over $1.3 million. Beltrano allegedly took advantage of his position as UPS warehouse manager. Since 2013, he stole about 866 Apple devices. This incident highlights how a Canadian courier steals devices over several years.
The burglary began in December last year. UPS discovered a large number of Apple devices were missing from the warehouse. After an investigation, authorities found that Beltrano, the Canadian courier who steals devices, was suspected of reselling the stolen Apple products for profit. On January 22 this year, Beltrano was fired by UPS and arrested by police on the same day. This case highlights the issue of how a Canadian courier steals devices, raising concerns about warehouse security and internal monitoring.
Police found a lot of cash, a Mac laptop, and valuable jewelry in Beltrano’s residence and vehicles. According to Beltrano, he used some of the funds he had obtained from theft to buy a $680,000 property and paid back a $60,000 Audi hatchback loan he had purchased.
This case not only attracted public attention to UPS’s internal security management but also exposed loopholes in the logistics industry in protecting valuables. UPS said it will strengthen security monitoring and personnel training in warehouses to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Such theft cases are not isolated cases. Previously, Apple products have also been the target of theft many times. For example, in September 2019, a theft of more than $100,000 was launched at an Apple store in the Stanford Mall in Palo Alto, USA. These incidents remind people that both companies and individuals need to strengthen safety precautions for valuables.
Currently, Beltrano has been formally prosecuted and faces multiple criminal charges. The case is still under further trial.
