Authorities have arrested 11 individuals linked to the Sinaloa Cartel for allegedly stealing approximately $202,500 worth of Nike merchandise from a moving cargo train near Phoenix, Arizona.
The suspects reportedly stopped the train by cutting its air brakes before unloading the stolen goods into a waiting truck, Fox News reported.
This incident is part of a growing trend where criminal organizations target cargo trains carrying high-value items such as electronics, tools, and footwear. Law enforcement officials say these thefts have increased over the past two years, particularly in transit corridors between California and Arizona.
Train robberies of this nature pose significant safety risks, including potential derailments, and endanger railroad workers and the public. Authorities have been cracking down on these crimes, emphasizing the need for stricter security measures and coordinated efforts to combat organized theft rings.
The Sinaloa Cartel, primarily known for drug trafficking, has been expanding its criminal activities, including cargo theft. Law enforcement agencies are now working to identify other individuals involved in similar operations and prevent further heists. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
