Cops: 4 Charged with Stealing $93K Worth of i-Phones







NEW YORK (AP) -- A shipment of Apple I-Phones valued at $93,000 was stolen from a warehouse in Valley Stream.

Nassau County Police say the I-Phones were taken from Rojay World
Freight. They were stored in a warehouse in Valley Stream before being
shipped via Cathay Pacific Airways from John F. Kennedy Airport to Hong
Kong.


However, Cathay Pacific realized the package had been tampered with
and discovered it was full of reams of paper rather than the I-phones.
Cathay Pacific notified Hong Kong Police who called the Port Authority
of New York-New Jersey. They in turn notified Nassau County Police.


Detectives arrested four people for the thefts.


Police say three Baldwin, Long Island men,, 20-year-old Emmanuel
Etienne, 22-year-old Jarred Thomas and 20-year-old Duane Carlos - are
all charged with grand larceny and conspiracy.
