A truck carrying the new Samsung Galaxy Z7 foldable smartphones was stolen from London Heathrow Airport at the end of last week. The cargo included approximately 12,000 units of Z7 Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7et foldable smartphones is estimated at $ 10.6 million – according to a reliable informant @universeicecece which makes it one of the largest flights of electronic devices reported in the United Kingdom this year.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is sold in the United Kingdom at a price of 1,049 euros and the Z Fold 7 at a price of 1,799 euros. As these are high -end products, losses are not limited to economic impact: such incidents can delay the launch of products, reduce stocks for pre -orders and alter the distribution plans of a company.
Large -scale flights of high -value electronic devices around Heathrow is not new. According to previous reports, criminal gangs frequently target expeditions in large British airports or near them. At the start of the year, the authorities intercepted a cache of 1,000 smartphones stolen also in Heathrow. Statistically, a large part of the stolen devices are quickly exported; According to an estimate of the British police, up to 75 % of stolen phones are shipped abroad, which further complicates recovery efforts.
For Samsungles consequences will probably be requests for compensation, a more in -depth examination of logistics suppliers and a temporary revision of the itineraries of the supply chain. Buyers must also be vigilant: stolen aircraft are often on the secondary markets and can be put on black list or not benefit from official assistance.
