Seven more arrest warrants were issued Tuesday in connection with the Lubbock Police bust involving thousands of dollars worth of stolen Apple electronics from UPS back in May.
Arrest warrants have now been issued for 16 people in connection with this case.
Court papers say 25-year-old Robert Ramos was the UPS employee sitting at the top of the criminal structure.
Police say he'd grab the boxes of Apple gadgets meant for Lubbock businesses, he'd sell them to his friends, who would then sell them to others.
In all, Police suspect Ramos stole 155 IPods and 10 Apple Macbooks.
So far, Police have recovered 70 of the stolen IPods and five Apple Macbooks.
If you have received or purchased one of these electronics from anyone other than an authorized Apple seller, you are asked to call Police, so they can determine whether it's stolen merchandise.
