On February 17, 2022, a sea freight container on a truck near London, England, was broken into and a total of 127 Giant e-bikes were stolen. As the English web portal Bikebiz reports, the container was full of 2022 models, including:

Reign E+ 0 MX Pro in Phantom Green & Black - Size Large
Reign E+ 2 MX Pro in Black Diamond & Black - size X-Large
FastRoad E+ EX Pro in Black - Size Large
Talon E+ 29er Sport in Graphite - size Large and X-Large
Talon E+ Sport in Graphite - size large

As Bikebiz further reports, according to Giant, the thieves cut the locks on the container and loaded the entire cargo onto another vehicle, leaving the truck empty after the theft.

Organized crime seems to be increasingly targeting bicycles and bike parts. Just recently, the theft of Shimano parts from a truck made the headlines, with the truck driver being drugged in the driver's cab.
