UPS seasonal delivery driver, 2 others accused in package-stealing scheme

LAKE MARY, Fla. — A seasonal UPS delivery employee and two others were arrested in connection with a package-stealing scheme in Florida, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said.

Surveillance video shows uniformed delivery driver Okoye D. Manley, 28, delivering packages to a home on Dellcrest Place in Lake Mary, deputies said. Investigators said Manley texted his co-conspirators, who arrived at the home eight minutes later.

The homeowner reportedly witnessed the act while reviewing surveillance video and called authorities.

Deputies said Tanjinka Wright, 31, was arrested on charges of stealing the packages off the porch. Dekeria Wright, 26, was the getaway driver and was also arrested, deputies said.

The trio was booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility on multiple felony charges, including burglary of an occupied structure.
