UPS Seasonal Worker Emmanuel Reggin Arrested For Hiding And Stealing Packages
According to UPS, the company hires about 100,000 seasonal employees to support its full-time drivers during the holidays; however one of these hires in Miami was arrested for stealing packages from the truck he was assigned to on two different occasions.
Local 10 News reported that on Monday, Emmanuel Reggin, 18, was unloading a UPS truck with 5,500 boxes but then hid three packages under several dumpsters near the loading dock.
The packages contained nearly $2,000 of technology equipment, including two Amazon Kindles, an iPad 7 and a Microsoft Surface Pro.
Video surveillance showed Reggin return later Monday evening in a silver 2015 Nissan Altima to retrieve the packages.
The next morning, Reggin, nabbed three more boxes and hid them but this time a facility manager was notified and checked it out. The packages contained an HP laptop and two PlayStation 4 consoles.
The facility manager reviewed security footage and immediately notified Miami Police and a UPS representative.
Miami police and UPS investigators waited at the facility that evening until Reggin, driving his 2015 Nissan Altima, drove past the building, and fled the scene but was eventually stopped blocks away.
Officers searched the vehicle, finding two kindles in the trunk of the vehicle. A search of Reggin’s listed Miami home revealed the iPad 7 and Microsoft Surface Pro, investigators said.
Reggin appeared in bond court Wednesday morning and was given a conditional pre-trial release by Judge Mindy Glazer.
Reggin faces third-degree grand theft charges that could land him in prison for five years for attempting to steal $2,800 in electronic equipment.
Wow…smh.
