The sheriff of Arapahoe County in Colorado said that 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles were reported stolen by a truck driver when he discovered during a pre-trip inspection at Lowe’s Truck Stop in the Town of Bennett that his trailer had been broken into. The value of the heist is roughly $1.4 million. According to the sheriff’s X (formerly Twitter) post, the driver was driving from the Nintendo of America headquarters at Redmond, Washington, to a GameStop retail store in Grapevine, Texas, when the heist happened.
The truck driver said that he was unaware of the contents of the trailer — only that it contained games or toys. With each console valued at $499, the total value of the stolen goods is estimated to be over $1.4 million. Unfortunately, it’s unclear if the burglary happened at the truck stop itself or at another place, so investigators are looking to the public for more information about the felony theft.
