A South Florida woman is facing a dozen felony charges after police accused her of intercepting high-value FedEx and UPS packages on behalf of an online fraud group, according to the Doral Police Department.
Veronika Nikolaevna Mitina, 34, of Hallandale Beach, was initially arrested Tuesday, according to Local 10 News. The department formally re-arrested her on Wednesday and Friday while she was already being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Mitina faces charges connected to three thefts spanning from August 2025 to April that targeted three Doral residents, according to police. Authorities said one victim had ordered a Cartier watch worth $8,000, another had ordered two gold coins worth nearly $9,500, and a third had ordered gold bars worth $70,000.
Mitina committed the thefts while participating in a Telegram group chat, where she received jobs that included intercepting packages from delivery drivers, according to the department.
The allegations mirror those made against another Russian national arrested by Doral police in May. Police said Vladimir Kudyakov, 43, of Hollywood, admitted to using fake identifications to steal high-value FedEx packages as part of a delivery job in a Telegram group chat for Russians in America. Arrest reports do not indicate any known personal connection between Mitina and Kudyakov.
In each of Mitina’s three known thefts, she pulled up alongside delivery drivers in residential communities in Doral in a Lexus SUV with Illinois plates and showed identification on her phone listing the addresses where the packages were supposed to be delivered, according to police. The thefts were captured on CCTV footage, according to arrest reports.
Authorities said police asked Mitina to come to department headquarters Tuesday, where she provided a full confession and told investigators about the group chat.
Her dozen charges include counts of grand theft, organized scheme to defraud, unlawful use of a communications device, and dealing in stolen property, according to police. Records show she remained at the correctional center on a $47,500 bond as of Monday.

I’ve made $84,000 so far this month working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless.
