A manhunt is underway after £ 5 million worth of Apple products were stolen from a truck on the M1, police said.
The vehicle was stopped and its driver tied up on the southbound slip road at Junction 18 in Northamptonshire on November 10, according to Northants Police.
Forty-eight pallets of Apple products were stolen in the robbery, which occurred between 7:45 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., the force added.
The truck was then driven to Eldon Close in Crick, where the suspects transferred the trailer to their own truck and drove off.
Both the driver and a security guard attacked in a vehicle behind the truck were stranded.
Police eventually found the truck in Lutterworth, Warwickshire, where detectives believe the suspects transferred the devices to a third vehicle.
Northants Police would like to speak to anyone who is in the area at the time or who has been offered an Apple product in unusual circumstances.
The incident occurred during the week that Apple released its latest iPhone 12 models.
Anyone with information related to the incident should call the police on 101 quoting the reference number 20000595599. Or alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
