A former Connecticut man, identified as Jeffrey Thurston, was shot dead in New York by police after being accused of being involved in a $1 million DoorDash theft scheme. According to authorities, Thurston was wanted for multiple charges, including grand larceny and possession of stolen property. The incident took place in a residential area in New York, where Thurston was allegedly attempting to evade officers.
Thurston’s alleged involvement in the theft scheme was discovered after an investigation into a series of high-value thefts from DoorDash drivers in Connecticut. Authorities believe that Thurston was orchestrating the thefts and was using stolen credit card information to make large purchases. The scheme is said to have cost DoorDash a significant amount of money.
The police involved in the incident have stated that Thurston was armed and refused to surrender, which led to him being shot dead. The investigation into the theft scheme and Thurston’s involvement is ongoing. DoorDash has not commented on the incident or the impact of the thefts on their business.
