Two Indians Convicted in US for $2 Million Cargo Theft Using Trucking Firms
Two Indian nationals, Arshpreet Singh and Vikramjeet Singh, were convicted by a US jury for conspiring to steal over $2 million worth of cargo from warehouses across Southern California and Texas. The scheme involved purchasing or fraudulently using legitimate trucking companies to secure shipping contracts, then taking possession of goods such as televisions, laptops, appliances, and other consumer products without delivering them. The conspiracy operated from March 2024 to June 2025, with thefts reported at multiple locations in both states. Singh was also convicted of wire fraud, while his co-defendant was acquitted of that charge.
