Houston police busted a multi-state cargo theft ring that stole 15 luxury cars worth ~$3M by hacking into Central Dispatch and other auto shipping platforms. The crew—including a Katy family and their teenage son—used stolen credentials to pose as legit haulers, rerouted car trailers, disabled GPS, and hid vehicles in shipping containers labeled "rebar" destined for overseas. Several cars were intercepted at the Port of New York/New Jersey. Four adults and one juvenile face felony organized crime charges. Law enforcement warns freight platform fraud is surging and urges dealers to verify carrier USDOT credentials and flag any pickup discrepancies immediately.
