A news report being ran by ABC News has revealed that thieves have carried out a heist at SeaTac Seattle Air Cargo and made off with roughly $2 million worth of Nintendo consoles.

It is believed that they were Wii U's, but the ABC News report seems to refer to them only as Wii's. The thieves could also have taken a mixture of Nintendo consoles.

Police have no leads at the moment, but reports suggest that the thieves drove two large diesel trucks into the distribution site at around 9 o'clock on Saturday evening. Once there they proceeded to load up the consoles using forklifts inside the site. Afterwards they unloaded the consoles into two 53-foot semi-truck trailers waiting outside as well as a large box-truck van.

Workers noticed at 12 o'clock Sunday afternoon that they were several empty pallets, missing hardware and trucks.

So, there you have it. That's a lot of stolen hardware, keep your eyes peeled for ludicrous amounts of consoles on sale I suppose.
