(Seattle, WA) -- A Florida man is accused of trying to steal nearly half-a-million dollars in seafood.
Court documents say David Subil pretended to work for Safeway and Albertsons, ordering over 432-thousand dollars' worth of Russian king crab and Opilio crab.
He allegedly sent false purchase orders to Arctic Seafoods, in California, and they sent the shipment to a storage facility north of Seattle.
Subil loaded the seafood into a truck, but the payment didn't go through. Subil was located by deputies at a weigh station and arrested.
He had a one-way ticket from Miami International Airport to Medellin, Columbia.
