Costa Mesa, CA Audeze warehouse hit for $262,000 of high-end headphones
The six thieves struck in the middle of the night, cutting a hole through a corrugated roll-up door and slinking across the floor to avoid detection. They took their time, sorting through boxes in the factory, looking for the goods. Not once did they rise more than 18 inches off the floor during the two hours they ransacked the business, their faces and hands concealed by hoods, hats, gloves and bandanas. Like characters out of a jewel heist movie, the perpetrators were organized and methodical. They lined up the plunder along the floor and pushed it through the square hole they had cut in the door to a truck waiting outside the nondescript industrial building, surveillance videos later showed. The loot? $262,000 worth of high-priced headphones - 180 of them to be exact, with a retail price of up to $1,945 apiece. The Feb. 28 caper shook the company that manufactures the premium headphones, a small Costa Mesa outfit called Audeze, whose factory the criminals targeted. The loss of so much inventory added further delays to Audeze's already backlogged deliveries. ocregister.com

Port Authority PD nabs 'mule' for ID theft ring at George Washington Bridge after shopping sprees  A Bronx man who investigators said worked as a "mule" for an ID theft ring was arrested by Port Authority police at the George Washington Bridge after buying iPads, iPhone and other pricey electronics with credit cards in unsuspecting victims' names at the Walmart in North Bergen. Paul J. Cole, 33, was charged with fraudulent use of credit cards, driving with a revoked license and unsworn falsification after Port Authority officers nabbed him Friday afternoon. Cole, who has two previous felony convictions for ID theft, was carrying bogus driver's licenses from Ohio and New York, at least two phony credit cards he obtained using those licenses and other identifying information for potential victims in Florida, authorities said.
