UPS Driver Arrested In Theft Of Gold, Silver Bars
January 17, 2015
ANDERSON, Calif. (AP) — Officials say a driver with United Parcel Service has been arrested on suspicion of grand theft after several packages containing silver coins and silver and gold bars worth more than $200,000 went missing during the shipping process.
The Shasta County Sherriff’s Department says Kevin Peel was arrested Friday in the city of Anderson.
The department says Peel became a person of interest early in the investigation, which began in October when several packages containing precious metals went missing.
Authorities say sheriff’s detectives served a search warrant at Peel’s home days later and found cases of gold bars and silver coins matching the quantities reported stolen.
Deputies recovered gold and silver bars worth about $200,000 but say they had no evidence at the time the 40-year-old driver had stolen the precious metals.
He’s being held on $250,000 bail.

Or at least make an example out of him. He's going to get off though because they admit they have no evidence other than the same amount of being reported stolen was in his residence. A good attorney will make that laughable.

Nah.....just make him work the Detroit route for a decade.
Christmas delivery service was very good though. Maybe shareholders have to take one for the greater good of the brand.
"""Turns out UPS (UPS) spent too much, and holiday shopping wasn't as hot. The company warned that its fourth quarter results will fall short. The news sent its shares tumbling 10% Friday morning.
"Though customers enjoyed high quality service, it came at a cost to UPS," said CEO David Abney, who called the company's financial performance "disappointing.""""
