A gang of crooked security guards who stole an £200,000 worth of iPhones were caught when they bragged about their crimes on social media.
Mohammed Miah, 43, Jaleel Khan, 30, Soyfur Rahman, 38 and Mohammed Aamar, 28, have been jailed for more than 11 years after stealing the gadgets from a UPS distribution centre where they worked.
Employed as security guards at the warehouse in Birch Coppice Business Park, Dordon, Warkwickshire, they used their positions to steal hundreds of expensive phones.
Warwick Crown Court heard that police found an 'Aladdin's cave' of hundreds of stolen items which they hid in their homes, vans and storage units.
The brazen group drove out the warehouse with boxes of phones before boasting about how easy it was on social media.
All three men had been selling the stolen phones and other items on eBay in order to make a profit form their ill-gotten goods, a court heard.
Miah, Khan and Rahman admitted theft at Warwick Crown Court on Friday while Aamar pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property.
Miah, of Birmingham, and Khan, of Walsall, were each jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Rahman, of Birmingham, was jailed for 21 months, while Aamar, also from the city, was jailed for 13 months.
