Tech Catches $3M Cargo Thief | Fresno News
Description
Indiana authorities arrested 31-year-old Deepak Kumar in a massive cargo theft case involving nearly $3 million in stolen tungsten oxide powder bound for Japan. The bust was made possible by Flock Safety cameras, which flagged a suspicious semi-truck on I-70, leading officers to the truck and its driver. Kumar faces serious charges including theft and illegal communication device use, and is being held at an ICE facility with bail denied due to flight risk. Investigators suspect he used fake documents to access the shipment, and while the tungsten was recovered, a separate shipment of LEGO products was also found and returned. His preliminary hearing is set for August 12, and the case highlights how tech is revolutionizing law enforcement — turning hours of manual surveillance into minutes.
