A former FedEx Freight driver from Medley is accused of turning his delivery route into a side hustle, with police saying he helped siphon off tens of thousands of dollars in Apple products from two November drops. Michael Turro-Cabrera, 43, was arrested this week on charges that include grand theft of cargo under $50,000 and organized fraud. Investigators say a onetime co-worker, 39-year-old Yasmany Aguiar-Gonzalez, is still on the run. Authorities allege the Apple gear vanished during two deliveries on Nov. 28 and Nov. 29, 2025, with losses totaling about $31,000.
According to an arrest report summarized by Local 10 News, FedEx Freight spotted inventory shortfalls on Dec. 18, 2025: $22,507.28 from the Nov. 28 shipment and $8,658.20 from the Nov. 29 load. An internal review flagged unexplained extended stops and what the company described as suspicious time-clock activity, and Turro-Cabrera was fired the same day the losses were confirmed. Medley officers booked him at the town’s police station this week, while detectives say they are still working to track down Aguiar-Gonzalez.
Video, Phone Records And A Gray Pickup In The Alley
Investigators say the case really started to come together once they pulled surveillance footage. The video allegedly shows Turro-Cabrera making an unauthorized stop in a Pinecrest alley on Nov. 28, where a gray Dodge pickup pulls up and backs its tailgate right up to the trailer in a way police describe as consistent with a back-to-back cargo transfer. Phone records reportedly show Turro-Cabrera placing a call at the exact time he arrived at the alley. FedEx staff later identified the man behind the wheel of the pickup as Aguiar-Gonzalez. Those details appear in coverage by MacDailyNews, which recounts the arrest report’s timeline.
FedEx Says It Fired Driver, Helped Investigators
A FedEx Freight spokesperson told Local 10 News the company “does not tolerate illegal activity within our network” and confirmed that Turro-Cabrera is no longer employed there. The arrest report notes that the company’s internal review highlighted the questionable November route stops, and that Turro-Cabrera was terminated on Dec. 18, 2025. FedEx says it is cooperating with Medley police as detectives continue to work the case.
Why A $31K Shortfall Rings Alarm Bells In Miami
Industry data has been painting an ugly picture for cargo security nationwide, with Verisk CargoNet reporting a rise in thefts that are more targeted and higher in value. Against that backdrop, even a roughly $31,000 hit in Apple devices starts to look less like a one-off loss and more like a data point in a bigger pattern. South Florida has already seen larger electronics jobs this year, including a March warehouse theft that reportedly involved nearly $2 million in iPhones. Put together, the national numbers and the local cases help explain why law enforcement and shippers are treating missing Apple gear as part of a broader organized theft problem rather than just a bad day on the loading dock.
Legal Notes
Turro-Cabrera faces felony counts listed in the arrest report as grand theft of cargo under $50,000 and organized fraud, both covered under Florida’s theft and fraud statutes. Under state law, the theft statute and the communications or organized fraud statute set out how value thresholds, schemes to defraud and aggregated cargo losses translate into specific charges and possible penalties, with prosecutors deciding what to file based on the evidence and dollar amounts involved. The Florida Legislature’s published statutes provide the technical breakdown of how those offenses are categorized and punished.
Anyone with information about Aguiar-Gonzalez’s whereabouts is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Medley police say tips, surveillance video or other evidence could be key in closing out the investigation and are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
