Thieves Allegedly Stole A Truck Packed With $1.5 Million in Oculus Headsets

Six men have been indicted for allegedly stealing a number of trucks, including one packed with $1.5 million in Oculus headsets, 404 Media reports.

According to court documents, the men watched distribution facilities throughout the Midwest and Southeastern US, following semi-trucks as they left the facilities. When the drivers of the hauling truck stopped to refuel, the men would steal the truck and trailer, connect the trailer to their own semi, and leave the stolen one. They also would “paint over any logos and/or identifying numbers on the stolen trailer, and use different license plates in an effort to conceal the identity of the trailer and evade law enforcement detection.

Two of the men “located a semi-tractor trailer that left the Louisville, Kentucky facility laden with Oculus reality goggles valued at approximately $1.5 million,” according to the documents. Throughout 2022, the crew also snatched one truck stocked with $940,000 in Microsoft products, another with Sony products, and a third with Harman-JBL products worth $530,000. The value of the Sony products was not specified in the indictment. The heists continued into 2023, with the crew grabbing trucks stocking CF Moto ATVs and products from Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works products valued at $1 million.Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Interestingly, seven men were arrested in Grapevine, Texas this week for stealing similar merch, though they stole directly from warehouses rather than trucks.
