LOS ANGELES — Officers with the Los Angeles port police criminal investigation section, along with the Los Angeles Police Department commercial crimes unit, Feb. 7 arrested a suspect in connection with multiple occurrences of stolen chassis throughout the Port of Los Angeles. The suspect was arrested during an investigation that led officers to a facility in Gardena, California, where they were also able to recover 24 suspected stolen chassis.
The investigation spans many months where suspected criminals would enter container terminals and remove chassis set aside for commercial truckers to move cargo. The suspected criminals would then reface, alter, and resell the chassis as new. The revenue generated from criminal organizations is estimated to be in the millions.
“The Port of Los Angeles is the busiest port in the United States so stopping this theft was important for everyone involved,” said Los Angeles Port Police Lieutenant Rosario Ferrara. “Our investigation into these activities continues to evolve, but we hope this arrest sends a message to other criminals targeting the Port complex.”
Anyone with further information is asked to contact Los Angeles Port Police Detectives at 310-732-3500.
