Police: Two iPhones Apparently Stolen While Being Shipped to Darien Customer
|
Two iPhones, valued at a total of $700, were reported stolen before the Darien man who bought them even got a chance to see them delivered, police said. Darien police gave this account of the incident:
A Brookside Drive man told police on May 30 that he had bought through the Internet two iPhone 7 models for $350 each. He was given a UPS tracking number. On May 29, he received a text message from UPS telling him that the phones had been delivered at 1:48 p.m., and at about 2:30 p.m., the man’s children arrived home and got all the mail from the mailbox. The package that was supposed to be holding the iPhones was there, but it appeared to have been tampered with — the packing tape had been cut, and only the bubble-wrap and charging cables were inside.
