Bape and Adidas Team Up for a Stylish Remix of the Campus ’80s Sneaker, millions of dollars shoes—some of which were described as “limited-edition” or “difficult to find”—were found at a West Side warehouse in the Austin neighborhood, the site of a theft ring that targeted freight trains. The report stated the stolen shoes were taken from rail cars from across the country and shipped to the warehouse, and then they were sold to retailers.
According to the report, the Lyons Police Department launched an investigation after a cargo theft was reported roughly a week prior. That led investigators to the warehouse, the report stated, where a search warrant was issued and the shoes were discovered.The report also stated the warehouse was “on the radar of multiple railroad companies and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office” with rail cargo thefts increasing throughout the country.
Specifically with this warehouse, the report stated retailers would go to the warehouse to purchase goods, not knowing they were stolen, after they were advertised on social media or via word of mouth. “What they would do is they’d commit these cargo thefts, like from Memphis, Tennessee. They’d re-label it, and they would ship it here. They would unpackage it, repackage it, and it’s a 100 percent markup, because they got it all for nothing,” Heroin Heroin told CBS News Chicago.“These are individuals who are working together for a common cause, which is money,” Heroin told CBS News Chicago.
