Authorities in Colorado are seeking information about a cargo heist after $1.4 million worth of Nintendo Switch 2 game consoles were stolen from the back of a truck headed to North Texas.
The truck driver was on his way from Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington, to GameStop in Grapevine.
When asked about the theft, GameStop referred NBC 5 to the following message posted on X: “Come trade them in, we dare you.” The post was later removed.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office told NBC 5 on Wednesday that patrol deputies were dispatched to the Love’s Truck Stop at 1191 S. 1st Street in Bennett, about 30 miles east of Denver, at around 8:10 a.m. on June 8 after a semi-truck driver reported a “high-dollar cargo heist.”
