Yasmany Aguiar-González, 39 years old and a former employee of FedEx Freight, voluntarily turned himself in to the police in Medley, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, due to his involvement in the theft of over $31,000 in Apple products that were intended for retail stores.
The man -of Cuban origin- made the decision to turn himself in after seeing the arrest of his alleged accomplice on the news, according to Telemundo 51.
The alleged accomplice is Michael Turro-Cabrera, 43 years old and a resident of Pembroke Pines, who was arrested on June 23 for grand theft of cargo and organized fraud while working as an active driver for FedEx Freight.
The defense attorney for Aguiar-González, Salvedo Jauregui, coordinated the delivery with the authorities and stated to Local10:
"At the moment my client learned that they were being sought, we immediately called the detective..."
How the robbery happened: GPS, cameras, and phone records
The thefts took place on November 28 and 29, 2025, while the Apple products were under the custody of Turro-Cabrera in a FedEx Freight truck.
The vehicle's GPS revealed that the driver deviated from his route and entered an alley in Pinecrest at 12:09 PM, where a gray Dodge pickup truck backed into the rear of the trailer.
The vehicle's cover was removed and replaced in just 16 minutes, a timeframe that the police interpret as the moment of the merchandise transfer.
The phone records proved to be decisive.
The detectives confirmed that both suspects made a call exactly at the moment when the vehicles met in the alley, and the FedEx staff identified Aguiar-González as the driver of the pickup through surveillance footage.
More than 31,000 Apple products missing
Apple officially reported the shortages on December 18, 2025.
There were items worth $22,506 missing on November 28 and $8,658 on November 29, for a total of $31,165 in products that included phones, tablets, and watches.
On that same day, FedEx fired Turro-Cabrera for "policy violations," including prolonged stops without explanation and tampering with the time record.
Aguiar-González, who had worked for the company for eight years before being fired, had been wanted as a fugitive since then, until his lawyer coordinated his surrender.
"FedEx Freight does not tolerate illegal activity within our network. The safety of our customers' shipments is a top priority, and we fully cooperate with authorities in investigations," a FedEx spokesperson stated to Local10.
The "shame walk" and the charges they face
The Medley police organized a "shame walk" with Aguiar-González at the time of his surrender to the authorities.
It is a practice whereby suspects are publicly displayed before the media to raise civic awareness and deter criminal behavior.
Both defendants face charges of cargo theft and organized fraud.
The police have not confirmed whether the products were recovered.
A pattern of cargo thefts in South Florida
The case is not isolated. Days before the arrest of Turro-Cabrera, another Cuban, Reinier Sánchez Hurtado, 46 years old and a contractor for FedEx Ground in Medley, was arrested on June 17 for stealing Nike sneakers valued at 36,000.
Nationwide, cargo thefts in the United States and Canada rose by 18% in 2025, with estimated losses of 725 million dollars, representing a 60% increase compared to 2024.
