FedEx Driver Steals $17K in Electronics, Caught by Walmart

0:00A FedEx driver in Tulsa is busted for swiping over $17,000 worth of high-end electronics from a Walmart store. 31-year-old Austin Rikkel got caught after Walmart noticed a bunch of missing packages all tied to his deliveries. Earlier this week on March 18th, cops started digging in when Walmart reported the thefts. The store security team slipped tracking devices into four packages headed there, and Rikkel delivered two, but ditched the third in a dumpster. Nearby, surveillance caught at all. Meanwhile, the next day on March 19th, another tracked box with airpods and cell phones showed up on his truck. Mark delivered, but never made. It. Officers pulled him over right after and found it still inside. Investigators tallyed the losses at about $17,330, and Rikkel admitted to having a loaded handgun in his. Trump too. He's facing charges for big-time larceny from a retailer and carrying a firearm during a felony. FedEx says customer shipments are priority.
