Nike is one of the most powerful companies in the world, but the company apparently needs to work on its security.
According to KOIN, a man stole 800 pairs of shoes from the Nike Factory Store in Portland, Oregon, to sell them on the streets and fund his drug habits.
Kelvin Torain Millage told detectives that he is drug addicted and steals the shoes to sell them on the streets, according to court documents. When police questioned Millage, he told them that he estimated he has stolen more than 800 pairs of shoes from Nike.
Millage was identified as a suspect in the thefts after detectives reviewed Nike’s in-store security system.
When he was arrested, police found three bindles of heroin on his person, according to court documents.
According to court documents, Millage was involved in the following thefts:
March 27 – Shoes valued at $349.97 stolen
April 3 – Shoes valued at $1,200 stolen
April 4 – Shoes valued at $1,500 stolen
May 6 – Shoes valued at $2,425 stolen
Hopefully Millage can get the help he needs regarding the drug addiction. But it’s a wonder how he wasn’t caught until now. Stealing 800 pairs of shoes from one of the biggest corporations in the world is a hell of feat.
