Porch pirates targeted FedEx packages with insider information, prosecutors say
ABC7NY
SUFFOLK COUTNY (WABC) -- Prosecutors in New York said they have dismantled a "sophisticated 'porch pirate' criminal organization" that allegedly stole FedEx packages containing electronic devices.
Fourteen people have been indicted for enterprise corruption and other charges in connection with the alleged theft ring, the Suffolk County Prosecutor's Office announced on Monday.
The two-year investigation uncovered 48 alleged pattern acts of theft targeting FedEx packages containing electronics and cellphones from October 2023 to February, the office said.
The enterprise is accused of "hacking" into the delivery system to set up cellphone deliveries under fake names and using random residences as a "convenient drop-off point," unbeknownst to those who lived there, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney.
