{"text":"SEATTLE — A theft ring in Washington state sold millions of dollars’ worth of stolen goods on Amazon.com in the past six years, and a pair of Amazon delivery drivers was involved, recently unsealed federal court documents show.\n\n\nAccording to a search warrant affidavit unsealed in U.S. District Court in Seattle and reviewed by The Associated Press, two storefront businesses posing as pawn shops bought the goods from shoplifters, then had the items shipped to Amazon warehouses, where they were stored until sold online.\n\nEntities associated with the alleged ringleader did at least $10 million in sales on Amazon since 2013, FBI agent Ariana Kroshinsky wrote in her affidavit.\n\nNo charges have yet been filed, though investigators have raided the pawn shops and the home of the man identified as the ringleader, Aleksandr Pavlovskiy, 44, of Auburn, Wash. A man who answered the door at one of the shops July 31 identified himself as Alex and told The Associated Press his business was legitimate, that he kept good records and he should not be in any trouble.\n\nRead more: https://www.ttnews.com/articles/fbi-amazon-drivers-part-major-theft-ring ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
