Eight individuals have been sentenced to a combined 29 years and 7 months in prison following a major parcel theft investigation in Warwickshire, where over £820,000 worth of goods were stolen from a courier facility in Kingsbury.
The offences took place between September 2022 and February 2023, with the group orchestrating a sophisticated operation to redirect high-value parcels, including computers, TVs, and electric bikes, to addresses under their control. The group used a method of placing new delivery labels over existing ones to divert the items.
Some of the stolen goods were sold on Facebook Marketplace and eBay, while others were found packaged for shipment to Romania.
