Six men have been indicted for allegedly stealing trucks full of expensive electronics from Meta and Microsoft, including a truck hauling $1.5 million-worth of Oculus headsets, according to court documents.
According to the indictment, the six men traveled from various locations across the United States to Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and other states “to steal products that were shipped in interstate commerce”. The co-conspirators allegedly surveilled distribution facilities “used by various national companies to distribute their products” and followed semi-tractor trailers leaving those distribution facilities. When those truck drivers stopped to rest or refuel, the co-conspirators would steal the entire semi-tractor and trailer, hook up the trailer to their own semi, and abandon the stolen tractor.
