Authorities are investigating the theft of more than 2,800 Nintendo Switch 2 gaming consoles, valued at more than $1.4 million, according to KIRO Newsradio.
Police remain uncertain about when the truck, which left from Redmond, was hit, but a routine inspection at a truck stop in Bennett, Colorado, revealed that the consoles were missing.
On June 8, the driver stopped at the Love’s Truck Stop for a pre-trip check. That’s when he noticed the trailer was breached and several pallets of the consoles were missing, according to law enforcement. Each console is priced at $499, resulting in a total loss exceeding $1.4 million.
