We reported last month about the theft of three trailers full of Wii-U game consoles from SeaTac, worth a cool $2 million.
Police have located the vehicles, but not the games. Two of the vehicles were in south King County, but the other was found in California.
SeaTac detectives said that two trailers and a box truck that were reported stolen from SeaTac on December 16th and were loaded with 7,000 WII-U game consoles have been recovered empty.
On December 19th, the box truck was located in Fife parked near a warehouse. The business logos had been removed from the truck.
On December 30th one of the trailers was recovered in Auburn near 277th and D St. The logos and Vin# had been covered with white paint. Additionally, “S.S. Trans” was painted on the front of the trailer.
The remaining trailer was located on January 2nd near Carson, California. The trailer’s logo had also been covered with white paint and marked with “S.S. Trans.”
SeaTac detectives are working with the Los Angeles based “Cargo Theft Task Force” on the case. Detectives said that the reward in the case has also been increased to $10,000 thanks to donations from private businesses.
The City of SeaTac contracts with the King County Sheriff’s Office for police services.
