PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) – A GPS ping led investigators to a stolen copper shipment valued at $586,000 and the arrests of two California men September 11.

According to arrest citations, police found a tractor-trailer backed into a loading dock on Riverside Drive. Christopher Michael Delgado, 24, allegedly fled from a forklift and was later located hiding along the riverbank by a K-9 unit.

Haykaz Gasparyan, 43, told investigators he was picking up the shipment to transport it to California. Police say magnetic stickers concealed the truck’s actual USDOT number and shipping documents found inside were identified as fraudulent and linked to other cargo thefts.

Both men were charged with receiving stolen property valued at $10,000 or more. Delgado also faces third-degree fleeing or evading police.
