Imagine a shopkeeper who, instead of just serving customers, invents a clever but illegal way to make quick profit. This is how a 34-year-old man worked in one of the Żabeks at Jerusalem Avenues in Warsaw. He hired himself there to order luxury items for fictional data and then cleverly take over. Police She ended this – the man heard the charges.
How did the fraudulent scheme work?
The man started working in February 2026. He used a post to order online stores for fictitious data. He ordered expensive things – electronics, jewelry, watches or branded clothes.
When packages arrived at the store, he passed them on to the "curier" – in fact, to his partner. This one took the goods out of the cartons, and the empty packages returned as "unreceived". The key was that such phrases only occurred on a 34-year-old's shift that did not scan shipments. The scheme operated from February to May and brought losses to the courier company exceeding PLN 100 thousand.
Detention and evidence
Police from the Department for Combating Economic Crime of the Police Capital Command collected solid evidence. While searching the detainee's apartment, they found some stolen property, fake order devices, and unaccounted for packages he didn't get to his partner.
34-year-olds heard allegations of misappropriation of property committed jointly with another person, under conditions recidivism. That means more severe criminal liability. Officers are still looking for his accomplice pretending to be a courier.
