Nintendo stock stolen from lorry again

Nintendo suffered another theft on the UK roads last night as a van carrying stock was broken into during the night.
In an incident similar to one that took place last May, where Splatoon and amiibo stock was stolen, Nintendo's lorry delivering products from Nintendo of Europe's German headquarters has been broken into.
The theft occurred some time between 9pm April 13th and 7am the following morning as the driver slept in the front after parking at a service station at Thrapton. The thieves sliced open the back of the lorry and took the stock from inside.
There are no details about the stock that was taken and the police report only indicates it was several thousand pounds worth of stock. However, many fans are now worried their Star Fox Zero delivery may be affected. The game is due out today and people seem to be getting them, so it is unclear whether this game has been affected or if other items were taken instead.
