If you have already ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 from the Game Stop, your console was part of a $ 1.4 million shipment stolen from a semi -truck in Colorado.
In which a real life can be described as a “histology”, 2,810 newly released Nintendo Switch 2 consoles disappeared from a truck stop in Colorado, leaving law enforcement agencies standing for answers and appealed to the public for any information about the incident.
According to the office of Arapah County Sheriff, theft of Nintendo Switch 2 was found on the morning of June 8. The truck driver was preparing for the next stage of his trip when he saw the trailer broken. Inside it was a gold mine of 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 units, each worth $ 499, which was freshly shipped from Nintendo of the US headquarters in Washington’s Redmund. The final destination of the consoles was a game stop in Texas Grapevine, but unfortunately, they never made it.

The Sheriff’s office noted in the Facebook post that the driver told the deputy that he did not know what was in the trailer, just that it was a game or toys. It is not yet clear where the robbery took place, the robbers managed to take such a huge load from the truck, and where they disappeared.
“If caught, the suspects may face charges of criminal misconduct, along with 1 million or more worth of millions, worth 1 million or more.”
Although the thieves seem to hit the jackpot at a time when the demand for Nintendo Switch 2 is at a height at all times, but illegally there will be no high cost for the robbers. As an alternative, they can earn a lot of money to sell these consoles, consumers have become the ultimate victim of theft.
Each Nintendo Switch has a unique serial number in 2 units, and Nintendo can disable stolen consoles from remote, and call them useless for re -sale or online games. This means that anyone who buys switches from non -governmental channels can inadvertently obtain one of these units and end with a brick device.
Therefore, if you see a big deal on switch 2 from a source that you don’t know or trust, you would like to think twice before buying it.
