TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A worker at the UPS warehouse on Hartsfield Road is accused of systematically diverting packages to himself so he could steal the contents and sell the items on eBay.

Tallahassee Police arrested Nicholas Ocampo, 19, on Thursday.

Investigators say Ocampo made labels addressed to himself and placed them on shipments at the UPS facility, so they would be delivered to his home instead of their intended recipient.

Ocampo told detectives he targeted boxes from electronics companies, stealing cell phones, laptops, and computers, according to arrest documents.

Police say he sold the items online, making approximately $3000-$4000.

UPS found Ocampo over-labeled at least nine packages in February and March, according to arrest records.

"We have no tolerance for criminal activity and are pleased to see that law enforcement has taken action," said UPS spokesperson Glenn Zaccara.

Ocampo was booked into the Leon County Detention Facility on a fraud charge.
