UPS employee accused of stealing $1.3 million worth of Macs and iPhones en-route to customers

Reports of iPhones being ordered from Apple and then going missing en route to their intended destination have been rife over the last few months, and it has been claimed that crooks working at parcel companies may be intercepting packages, removing Apple hardware, and then sending those packages on their way. Now, it seems that there might be something to that after all.

That's after it was reported that Martirez Beltrano, a now-former UPS employee, has been accused of stealing and then reselling more than $1.3 million in Apple iPhones and Macs. The case, out of Winnipeg, reportedly came on the same day that UPS was already planning to fire the employee after an internal investigation found that he was responsible for hundreds of thefts. It's said that he stole at least 866 different Apple devices and then sold them to a person he met via an online marketplace.
