In the latest modern Western train robbery, 11 suspects were indicted in the theft of $440,000 worth of Nike shoes in northern Arizona.

In the latest modern Western train robbery, 11 suspects were indicted in the theft of $440,000 worth of Nike shoes in northern Arizona.

Train heists aren't just a thing of the Old West. A series of brazen train robberies has emerged across the western United States and authorities say the thieves focus on high-value containers.

Sneakers continue to be a huge target for criminals, and according to new reports from the LA Times, nearly $2 million worth of Nike footwear has been stolen from freight trains in California and Arizona within the last year-including pairs of the much-anticipated Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 collab.

A train robbery in Arizona last month saw nearly 2,000 pairs of Nike Air Jordans stolen, with an estimated value of over $440,000, according to federal court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
