A Southern California warehouse bust has blown open a multimillion-dollar cargotheft ring, and put Tucker Carlson right in the middle of it.
Authorities say a huge chunk of the haul recovered in a Vernon warehouse is tied to the ex-Fox News host’s nicotine brand.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department seized roughly $4 million worth of stolen goods on April 13 after raiding a warehouse in the 3200 block of 46th Street.
What they found inside looked like a thief’s dream.
Authorities shared photos of the stolen goods. Stacks of televisions. Piles of sneakers.Printers, speakers, skincare products, household items and appliances.Even data center cooling equipment.
And buried in the middle of it all, investigators say, were hundreds of thousands of nicotine pouches linked to Carlson’s ALP brand.
The products trace back toa stunning March hijackingthat dealt a major blow to Carlson’s business.
More than 378,000 tins of ALP Drifter nicotine pouches vanished after being picked up in Southern California by a driver who appeared legit and presented convincing credentials.
The shipment was headed to Kentucky. It never made it and the truck went dark.
Investigators suspect its tracking system may have been tampered with.
