A $1.4 million cargo of Switch 2 consoles has been stolen in the US
The Sheriff of Arapahoe County, Colorado, has confirmed that over 2800 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles were stolen from a semi-truck as part of a heist. The driver of the truck reported that his trailer had been broken into during a pre-trip inspection. This happened at Lowe’s Truck Stop in Bennett.
Several pallets of Switch 2 consoles were stolen, containing a total of 2,810 units. The driver claims that he did not know what was inside the trailer. The driver only knew that the trailer contained “games or toys.” The goods were reportedly moving from Nintendo of America’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington, and were travelling to a GameStop store in Texas. The goods stolen in this heist have an estimated value of over $1.4 million.
Investigators are still looking into this Switch 2 heist, and have asked for anyone with information on the theft to call their investigations tip line.
