Once they took possession of the freight (primarily electronics, appliances, and other high-value consumer goods), they diverted and stole the shipments instead of delivering them. The stolen cargo was later distributed through intermediaries or black-market channels, with an estimated loss in the millions of dollars.
The suspects committed multiple thefts within San Bernardino County. San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department collaborated with FBI- Riverside Inland Violent Crime Supression Task Force, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Fontana Police Department, California Highway Patrol- CTIP, and several other law enforcement agencies to aide in a Federal Indictment.
