    Coverage notes the incident follows other recent cargo crimes involving increasingly sophisticated tactics, including a local theft ring targeting parked trailers and injuring a driver, as well as thieves deliberately striking security escorts protecting high-value technology shipments. In June, Salahudin Reddy was sentenced to nearly eight years in federal prison for cargo thefts valued at over $1.5 million, including frozen crab legs, Samsung TVs, and dimes.
