Onto laredos police beat. A man is arrested after racking up 11-thousand dollars in merchandise using his company's information.
This is 26 year old Jesus Covarubias. He allegedly used a forwarding company's name and created an account to order merchandise online at grainger for pick-up. Police say according to a witness, Covarubias went and picked up the merchandise worth 11-thousand dollars.

All I am going to say is, yes he was terribly wrong. However, everyone in Laredo steals... that is what laredo is known for nothing good. Everyone I know from other states say the same things, only in laredo it is possible to get away with things like this. Also, uh i am alomost positive he didn't act alone. what about the verification from the "sales person" in grainger. I know for a FACT they need to verify the information. So i think there should be 2 more people in on this... the grainer person and the person who helped him verify... I am just saying... I am almost ashamed to say I am from Laredo.

Agree with mc they cant see something or someones success because right away they want to steal it since they dont want to work for it.

This kid has stolen from several other companies as well. Only 26 yrs old and already a seasoned con artist.
