Yasmany Aguiar-González, a 39-year-old former FedEx Freight employee, voluntarily surrendered to the Medley police in Miami-Dade County, Florida, this Wednesday. He is implicated in the theft of Apple products valued at over $31,000, which were intended for retail stores.
The Cuban national decided to turn himself in after seeing news reports about the arrest of his alleged accomplice, as reported by Telemundo 51.
The alleged accomplice, Michael Turro-Cabrera, 43, a resident of Pembroke Pines, was arrested on June 23 for grand theft of cargo and organized fraud while employed as an active driver for FedEx Freight.
Aguiar-González's defense attorney, Salvedo Jauregui, arranged his surrender with authorities and told Local10: "As soon as my client found out he was being sought, we immediately contacted the detective..."
How the Theft Unfolded: GPS, Cameras, and Phone Records
The thefts occurred on November 28 and 29, 2025, as Apple products were being transported under the watch of Turro-Cabrera in a FedEx Freight truck.
The vehicle's GPS indicated that the driver deviated from his path and entered an alley in Pinecrest at 12:09 PM, where a gray Dodge pickup truck backed up to the trailer's rear.
The vehicle's cover was removed and replaced in just 16 minutes, a timeframe police interpret as the window for the merchandise transfer.
Phone records played a crucial role. Detectives confirmed that both suspects made a call exactly as the vehicles met in the alley, and FedEx staff identified Aguiar-González as the pickup driver through surveillance footage.
Missing Apple Products Worth Over $31,000
Apple officially reported the missing items on December 18, 2025. Products worth $22,506 were missing on November 28, and $8,658 on November 29, totaling $31,165 in goods, including phones, tablets, and watches.
On the same day, FedEx terminated Turro-Cabrera for "policy violations," including unexplained extended stops and time log manipulation.
Aguiar-González, who had been with the company for eight years before his dismissal, had been a fugitive until his attorney arranged his surrender.
A FedEx spokesperson told Local10, "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."
The "Walk of Shame" and Legal Charges
Medley police conducted a "walk of shame" with Aguiar-González as he turned himself in to authorities. This practice involves publicly displaying suspects to the media to raise public awareness and deter criminal behavior.
Both accused face charges of cargo theft and organized fraud. Police have not confirmed whether the products have been recovered.
Pattern of Cargo Thefts in South Florida
This case is not isolated. Just days before Turro-Cabrera's arrest, another Cuban, Reinier Sánchez Hurtado, 46, 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 surged by 18% in 2025, with estimated losses of $725 million, marking a 60% increase from 2024.
