NY: White Plains postal driver charged in theft of 40,000 pallets

A driver at a U.S. Postal Service processing center in White Plains has been arrested on charges that he stole around 40,000 plastic pallets from the facility, selling them to a cooperating witness for $1 each.

Destin Lee, 53, of the Bronx, sold the pallets, which were stamped with the USPS’s name, by the truckload, according to a complaint, and the thefts apparently went unnoticed for awhile, beginning early last year and ending this month, after the buyer agreed to wear a wire for authorities, according to a complaint filed Oct. 22 in U.S. District Court in White Plains.

Lee allegedly sold two tractor-trailers full of 400 to 500 pallets per month throughout last year, according to the complaint, with the sales increasing to around 10 tractor-trailers per month from January 2013 to May 2013

Lee has worked as a tractor-trailer operator at the Postal Service since 1988, Willstatter said, spending a good portion of those years at the Westchester Processing and Distribution Center, where the alleged thefts occurred.
