The theft of thousands of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles was discovered at a Colorado truck stop earlier this month, a loss of more than $1.4 million, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.
The tractor-trailer driver discovered the theft during a pre-trip inspection at a Love’s Truck Stop in Bennett just after 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 8, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
During that inspection, the driver discovered that several pallets of the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 gaming consoles were missing, the release stated.
Sheriff’s officials said 2,810 consoles, valued at $499 each, were stolen.
The driver told deputies he was headed to a GameStop store in Texas from Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington. He told deputies he didn’t know what was in the trailer, only that it was games or toys.
It’s unknown if the heist happened while the driver was stopped in Bennett or if it happened in another city along his route, sheriff’s officials said.
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact investigators at 720-874-8477.
