Police arrested a criminal suspect at a rented apartment in East China's Anhui Province on Sunday after he confessed to taking advantage of his
job at a courier service to steal an iPhone and replace it with a box of
apple-flavored yogurt. A woman first reported the case on Friday
after she opened a package she received which was supposed to be the
iPhone she had bought, but found the dairy product instead. In a
video circulating online, the woman said she had spent 10,099 yuan
($1,563) to buy an iPhone 12 on Apple's official website, only to
receive a package with a box of apple-flavored yogurt two days later. Local
police said on Thursday that the case appeared to be one of theft.
Earlier, both Apple and Express Mail Service - the courier company that
delivered the package - told the woman that they are launching an
investigation. Local police finally located the suspect, a
31-year-old male surnamed Long, who worked as a delivery worker and used
his work position to carry out the crime.
