LMPD: UPS workers took part in 'criminal syndicate' that stole more than $11K in jewelry - WDRB
Several UPS employees are accused of stealing shipments of jewelry worth nearly $12,000, and police believe when the investigation is done, the total theft may far exceed that.
According to court documents, investigators determined that seven employees were working together to steal Swarovski jewelry during their shifts. Police said some would conceal the jewelry while others made sure to block the view of other employees and dispose of the empty boxes to avoid detection.
The thefts were recorded on surveillance video, according to police.
Police said the value of the stolen jewelry is $11,805, but the actual total "is expected to exceed far beyond that."
