£5million worth of Apple products stolen in lorry heist

A lorry driver and security guard have been tied up after a heist saw £5million pounds of Apple products stolen.

Products stolen from the lorry included Apple Watches, iPhone 11s, AirPods, and iPads.

The vehicle was parked up just off the M1 in Northamptonshire when the robbery happened, reports NorthantsLive.

The incident took place on the southbound slip road at Junction 18 of the motorway, between 7.45pm and 8pm on Tuesday, November 10.

It was driven to Eldon Close in Crick, where the offenders transferred the trailer on to an awaiting truck, and drove off leaving the lorry driver and security guard behind.

It is understood no weapons were used.

The truck was later found across the county border in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, where it is believed the offenders transferred the 48 pallets of Apple products into a third vehicle.

Officers from Northamptonshire Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen a number of vehicles on the slip road at Junction 18 between the stated times, which may have looked out of place, or who may have dashcam footage of this area.

They would also like to speak to anyone who may have been offered any Apple products for sale in unusual circumstances, or who knows of anyone who is selling such items at low-cost prices.

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting reference number 20000595599.
