According to NBC 5 in Dallas, the truck driver was on his way from Nintendo of America in Washington to a GameStop in Grapevine.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, via NBC 5, also noted how the truck driver discovered during a pre-trip inspection that his trailer had been broken into and several pallets had been stolen. He said he did not know exactly what was in his truck, just that it was games or toys.

They did discover, however, that 2,810 newly released Nintendo Switch 2 game consoles had been taken. The consoles retail for about $500 each, making the total value of the heist more than $1.4 million.
