Once there, the thieves transferred the truck¡¯s trailer onto another truck. They then drove it about nine miles to the town of Lutterworth, Warwickshire to transfer the 48 pallets of Apple goods onto a third vehicle. These pallets have been reported to contain Apple Watches, iPad models and even charging devices.
Police said they wanted to speak to "anyone who may have been offered any Apple products for sale in unusual circumstances, or who knows of anyone who is selling such items at low-cost prices". The investigation into the robbery is still on by the police.
