California police made a huge arrest this week following the heist of a cargo train to the tune of over $200,000. The thieves were found with several pairs of Nikes and Air Jordans.

The seven arrested individuals reportedly intercepted a cargo train traveling through the Mojave Desert in Amboy, Calif., and drove the loot 190 miles to Anaheim, Calif, per CBS News. They stored the goods in a U-Haul truck which was discovered by CHP Border Division’s Cargo Theft Interdiction Program this past Friday (Nov. 22), according to California Highway Patrol (CHP) Border Division. Police discovered the stolen sneakers and tools the thieves used to break into the train containers.

One specific pair of sneakers found among the stolen goods was the Columbia Air Jordan 11s, which were set to come out soon. The seven thieves have been charged with felony grand theft of cargo and are awaiting trial.

This has been a year full of tracking down thieves in impressive fashion. Last week, retired four-time Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah ran down on thieves who stole his phone; the key part of this was that he chased them on foot while they drove away in a car.

The Times reported he and his wife, Tania Nell, were out and about when a white van appeared, and two men quickly snatched his phone and sped off. Farah ran after the van at “full throttle,” according to a witness present. Upon catching up to the van, the thieves handed over his phone without any pushback from Farah, but the police view the situation differently as they are now conducting an investigation.
