  "account": "Delaware police apprehended a California man after a $680,000 shipment of electronics went missing from a New Castle, DE, warehouse. The trailer was later recovered in Newark, DE, with all items intact. Authorities linked the theft to fraudulent identification, shipping documents, and a false registration plate. The investigation started with a pickup near Wilmington, DE. On September 15, troopers apprehended Dushatdaman Parihar, 35, of Manteca, CA, near the parked tractor-trailer at University Plaza. Parihar was taken to Troop 2 and arraigned on felony theft charges, with a secured bond of $66,550. The two suspects arrived at a River Road business in New Castle at 9:15 a.m. on September 14, posing as FedEx employees. They presented driver's licenses and documents for electronics valued over $680,000. After loading the cargo trailer, they left. The business soon discovered the paperwork was bogus. Police were alerted, and Parihar was found near the tractor-trailer with false credentials and a fraudulent plate. Charges include felony theft, first-degree forgery, and conspiracy. The trailer and goods were returned to the business. Further investigation is ongoing by the Delaware State Police Criminal Investigations Unit.",
