12 arrested in connection with yearslong California-wide cargo theft ring: deputies
A dozen people were arrested in connection with a cargo theft ring that spanned the entire state and lasted for more than four years.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department released information on Tuesday stating that, between March 2021 and June 2025, members of the Singh Organization acquired or fraudulently used real trucking companies to bid on authentic shipping contracts.
No further details surrounding the nature of the Singh Organization was disclosed.
Upon winning the bids, the company would take possession of the freight; however, rather than deliver them to the right destination, they diverted and stole them.
