ALP Launches $100,000 Manhunt After Multimillion-Dollar Nicotine Shipment Theft

The company reports FBI involvement in the still-missing load of roughly 378,000 tins.

Overview

  • ALP says a limited-edition ALP Drifters shipment valued in the millions was stolen less than 24 hours after its public announcement.
  • The cargo was collected from a Southern California logistics facility by a motor carrier showing apparently legitimate credentials, with cameras recording the truck’s departure.
  • Initial tracking indicated the truck was headed toward Kentucky before communication was lost, and the shipment remains unaccounted for.
  • ALP announced a nationwide manhunt with a $100,000 reward for credible tips leading to recovery of the goods or convictions, with information routed to investigating authorities.
  • Investigators are reviewing possible tracking spoofing and misuse of carrier authority; Fullerton Police logged a report on February 23, and ALP says the FBI is investigating as the company ramps replacement production and adjusts launch timing.
