Three Arrested in $500,000 Florida T-Mobile Theft Ring

Authorities in Palm Beach County have arrested three men involved in a major theft ring that targeted T-Mobile stores, stealing over $500,000 worth of electronics from shipments. The investigation began after T-Mobile and UPS alerted the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office to a series of high-value thefts starting in July 2024. Detectives traced 16 specific thefts back to a UPS hub and uncovered a fencing operation at GoalMind Studios, a recording studio and cellphone repair shop. Giffton White, Sheldon Brown, and Christopher Palmer were apprehended on February 25, 2025, with charges including conspiracy to commit racketeering and grand theft. The ringleader, Samuel Drummond, is still at large and has an active warrant for his arrest. As of February 25, the total losses to T-Mobile were estimated at $269,035.80.
