MESA, Ariz. - Holiday cards and packages are criss-crossing the country before Christmas, but a few appear to have been rerouted illegally when they got to a UPS warehouse in Mesa.

Now, four men are accused of being more interested in making profits than making deliveries. The suspects have been identified as:

Bo Arias Casey Bedell Jeremy Large David Panasci

The suspects didn’t have much to say in court on Dec. 18, but the presiding judge said plenty.

"You were all arrested on allegations of theft of controlled property, which is a Class 3 felony, and Mr. Arias and Mr. Panasci, you are charged with one count of fraudulent schemes of fraud, a Class 2 felony," the presiding judge said.

The four are accused of identifying expensive looking packages inside a Mesa UPS warehouse, filled with things like electronics and other household products, and switching the labels in order to send it to themselves for later selling. The four were reportedly involved in an operation of sorts over the past 12 months.

We stopped by one of the suspects' homes in the East Valley, on Dec. 18, but people at the home said the suspect was not home.

Officials with UPS refused to comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
