Overview
- The load was picked up in Taunton, Massachusetts, and never arrived at Costco destinations in Illinois and Minnesota.
- No arrests have been announced, and FBI field offices in Chicago and Minneapolis are coordinating on the case.
- Dylan Rexing, whose firm brokered the shipment, said the theft fits a pattern of high‑value cargo diversions using spoofed identities.
- Rexing said the loss will delay hiring and reduce employee bonuses at his logistics company.
- Federal efforts to curb cargo theft include HSI’s Operation Boiling Point and a DOT information request, as authorities estimate annual losses of $15–$35 billion; investigators also noted a similar seafood theft from the same facility earlier this month.
