Troy police believe data leaks led to string of iPhone thefts across metro Detroit

TROY, Mich. (FOX 2) If your brand-new iPhone has not shown up at your doorstep, and you live in metro Detroit, there is a chance it may have been one of many that were stolen in a string of thefts.

Troy police said on Facebook that an investigation has led them to believe there was a leak of information from a freight company or cell phone service provider which has led to multiple unrelated suspects having information on expected iPhone deliveries.

On Monday, Oct. 21, police found a suspect who was involved in iPhone package thefts in the Troy area. Police said they tracked the suspect into Sterling Heights and arrested them with help from detectives. Inside the suspect’s vehicle, police said they found three stolen iPhone packages, all from Utica, Southfield, and one that the suspect was allegedly seen stealing from Sterling Heights.
