Julio Hernandez, 36, faces charges of cargo theft and extortion after allegedly stealing $121,000 in Amazon orders. Hernandez was released from the Lee County jail Saturday after posting a $40,000 bond. His first court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 19. Detectives began investigating the theft in July, focusing on Hernandez, a driver for a subcontracted transport company. “The stolen merchandise, which was compiled of single orders from several thousand Amazon.com customers, was later located at the residence of the suspect after a search warrant was served,” the department said in a statement. “The suspect’s garage was literally stacked floor-to-ceiling with Amazon containers.” Authorities did not say what was in the containers or if their final destination was Southwest Florida.
