As a tech enthusiast who has been eagerly waiting to get my hands on the latest Oculus headset, I find myself deeply disheartened by this string of audacious thefts. Having personally experienced the thrill of virtual reality and seeing its transformative potential, it’s disheartening to know that these innovative devices are being snatched away from their rightful destinations.
A group of six individuals are facing charges after they were accused of stealing several trucks, among which was one loaded with $1.5 million worth of Oculus virtual reality headsets, according to 404 Media.
As per court records, these men were observed surveilling distribution centers across the Midwest and Southeastern U.S., tracking semi-trucks as they departed the facilities. Whenever the drivers of the cargo trucks stopped for refueling, these men would seize the opportunity to hijack both the truck and the trailer. After securing the stolen trailer to their own semi, they would abandon the hijacked one. Furthermore, they would cover up any logos or identifying numbers on the pilfered trailer and swap out license plates in an attempt to disguise the trailer’s identity and escape law enforcement scrutiny.
According to the documents, two men were found to have identified a semi-truck carrying Oculus VR goggles worth about $1.5 million that had departed from a facility in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2022, the gang also stole a truck containing $940,000 worth of Microsoft goods, another with Sony products (valuation not mentioned), and a third loaded with Harman-JBL products valued at approximately $530,000. The indictment did not disclose the value of the stolen Sony products. The thefts persisted into 2023, where the gang seized trucks carrying CF Moto ATVs and merchandise from Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works worth around $1 million.
It’s worth noting that this week, seven individuals were apprehended in Grapevine, Texas, for allegedly swiping comparable goods. However, instead of targeting delivery trucks, they were taking items straight from warehouses.
