WEST COLUMBIA, SC — Five UPS employees were arrested last week in connection with guns stolen from the shipping company’s hub in West Columbia, according to Lexington County deputies.
The employees, all teenagers, were charged with breach of trust, according to a press release by the Lexington County Sheriff’s Office.
Byron Burke, 19, Jalen Green, 19, Dishon Kinney, 18, Kenyon Peters, 18, and Tre’von Williams, 19, are charged with breach of trust, according to arrest warrants. In addition, Kinney and Peters were also charged with criminal conspiracy.
“UPS’ security team called us in as soon as they became aware of guns being stolen from incoming trucks.”
Once deputies started investigating, they discovered a plan to steal guns from incoming packages at the UPS hub. Deputies say the five men sold the guns or gave them away on company time.
Right down the road from PSA. So if you’ve noticed that you haven’t received shipments, or that shipments were delayed, this may be the reason why.

Interesting. None of the mooks has the sense to grab ammo from the video in your link…just the hardware. Looked to me that there were many boxes of ammo in the shelf under the long gun rack.

“breach of trust”?
We have problems already when we can’t call a crime by its name.

Byron, Jalen, Dishon, Kenyon and Tre’von. Thieves. Time for another game of “guess the race.”
