Call to Action: Californian Box Component’s Warehouse Robbery

In what appears to be a highly organized and well thought-out robbery, several individuals broke into Box Component’s warehouse at approximately 1:00AM PST and stole various goods estimated to be worth over of $100,000. Among the items taken is a bulk of the company’s pre-production samples for the Box One Drivetrain. Surveillance camera footage obtained from a neighboring business shows as many as five individuals using two vehicles during the course of the robbery. The perpetrators managed to gain entry by cutting a hole through the warehouse door and spent up to an hour inside the building while committing the crime. The building was secured with an active alarm system but the thieves were able to avoid detection due to a faulty sensor.

Items stolen:

Box One PushPush Shifters
Box One Rear Derailleurs
Box Two Cassettes
Box Vector Mini Cranks
Box Bike Stands

Box Components President Toby Henderson remarked the timing of the robbery was highly suspicious, given the recent arrival of the company’s drivetrain samples and the selective nature of the goods stolen.
