Over the past few years, stolen Nike<\/a> shipments have been at the top of news from broken into cargo facilities<\/a> to uncovered warehouses<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A breakthrough in the ongoing investigations has been made as the Los Angeles Police Department charged Roy Lee Harvey, a 37-year-old Tennessee man, in connection to the case. The individual, who police say operated around LA, had the help of a Nike employee to execute the elaborate theft ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Detectives say that the suspects exploited loopholes at the heart of Nike\u2019s distribution system in Memphis, the base where the products are shipped nationwide. The thieves printed fake shipping labels and paid off employees at UPS and Nike in Tennessee, California, and potentially other areas to \u201cdeliberately misdirect or redirect\u201d cartons of shoes to several locations in the Los Angeles area, according to detectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
