A federal grand jury has indicted five Bay Area men for their alleged roles in the armed robbery of a Portland, Oregon business that was shipping Apple iPhones. The indictment, filed on July 22, 2025 and unsealed this week, charges Cankun He, Hailong Ma, Robert Maynard, Yuxiang Wei, and Jordan Cantie with conspiring to rob the reshipping business.
According to the indictment, He, Ma, and Wei were involved in planning the robbery while Maynard and Cantie were recruited to carry it out. The document states that Ma provided jackets marked “FBI,” bulletproof vests, zip ties, and other supplies. On April 14, 2025, Maynard and Cantie allegedly used vehicles equipped with blue and red flashing lights similar to those on police cars to enter the victim’s parking lot. Cantie is accused of brandishing a gun as both men forced employees into the building, restrained them with zip ties, issued threats, and stole about 200 Apple iPhones along with five cameras before leaving.
The indictment further alleges that after fleeing the scene and returning to California, Maynard and Cantie met with He and others to deliver the stolen items. A subsequent attempt was made on May 19 by Ma, Wei, Maynard and others to rob another reshipping business in Hillsboro, Oregon; however, law enforcement arrested Maynard along with four unindicted co-conspirators that day.
United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian and FBI Special Agent in Charge Sanjay Virmani announced the charges.
He, Ma, Maynard and Wei have been held since their arrests earlier this month; Cantie remains at large. Upcoming court appearances include a detention hearing for Wei scheduled for August 18 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim. Ma and He are set for arraignment before Judge Kim on August 6. Maynard has been remanded into federal custody.
“An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to authorities. If convicted of conspiracy to engage in robbery affecting interstate commerce under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1951(a)), each defendant faces up to 20 years in prison as well as a fine of $250,000 or twice any gross gain from the offense. Sentencing would follow consideration of federal guidelines.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kevin Yeh and Kenneth Chambers are prosecuting the case with assistance from Claudia Hyslop and Lance Libatique following an FBI investigation.
