NY Man Accused Of Stealing Packages From Trumbull Homes: Police

TRUMBULL, CT — A New York man accused of stealing packages containing Apple products worth over $8,000 from several Trumbull homes was arrested Wednesday, according to police.

In a news release, Police Lt. Brian Weir said police were alerted of a man taking recently delivered packages from homes near Inwood Road and Springwood Drive around noon.

According to Weir, the man was seen stealing the delivered packages from outside the homes and then getting into a white Mercedes-Benz.

Officers checked the area and eventually found Jesus Felix, 23, of the Bronx, N.Y., inside the car parked on the shoulder of Bassick Road, Weir said.

Officers spoke with Felix, who said his girlfriend had the package delivered to the wrong address and he was picking it up for her. When officers asked for information about his girlfriend, Felix said she lived in the Dominican Republic but had mailed a cell phone to the wrong address, Weir said.

Felix also told police his girlfriend had sent him a text message with the tracking information and shipping address and he was retrieving the package. He then showed officers a text message listing several different package delivery addresses, Weir said.

Officers recovered two packages containing Apple iPhones that were sent to different Trumbull homes but the names on the packages did not match the residents of those addresses, Weir said.

Police also found packages containing three additional unused Apple Pro Max iPhones and three Apple Ultra I-Watches in their original boxes that had also just been delivered inside the Mercedes-Benz. Felix would not say where these additional Apple products came from, Weir said.

In total, all of the Apple products were worth over $8,000, Weir said.

Felix was charged with third-degree larceny and held on a $10,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
