LISTEN: Ford Worker Accused of Stealing Millions of Dollars Worth of Parts from Plants

Eric Sorensen

It so happens that occasionally a worker gets busted for theft that takes place in the workplace, but it’s the scale of this next incident that makes it an eye-popping scenario.

Four individuals have been charged in a theft ring that allegedly saw millions in car parts lifted from several Michigan Ford factories, and one of them was a Ford employee.

Dearborn police say they’ve uncovered a scheme involving Ford-manufactured parts and accessories. After a monthslong investigation, authorities arrested the men for allegedly stealing Ford vehicle parts – and it wasn’t something easily snuck out of a building.
