Oakland police are investigating the theft of $11.4 million in Nvidia cargo, the Mercury News reported. Six pallets bound for Fort Worth, Texas, were picked up on Aug. 29 in Oakland by a truck labeled with a food transportation company's logo, as planned. Then the truck and its drivers dropped off the grid as they headed south.
Police lost track of the vehicle in San Bernardino County after it made several multi-hour stops. The theft was not realized or reported until early September. No arrests have been announced, the New York Post also reported.
It is not the first hit on Nvidia shipments. In 2025, police in Fremont and Union City investigated burglaries of Nvidia cargo totaling more than $7.5 million in losses.
