Thieves have targeted freight trains running through California and Arizona in a string of heists that have resulted in the theft of more than $2 million worth of new Nike sneakers.

Prosecutors say that during a Jan. 13 robbery in Perrin, Arizona, suspects cut an air brake hose on a BNSF freight train and made off with more than 1,900 pairs of unreleased Nikes.

The shoes were worth more than $440,000. Many of the shoes were Air Jordan 4s that won’t be available to the public until March 14.

Authorities are investigating at least 10 heists targeting BNSF trains in the Mojave Desert since last March.
