Ohio Individual Indicted for Conspiracy, Theft From Interstate Shipments, and Making a False Statement
On May 18, 2023, Gurtej Singh, aka Gary Bhullar, was indicted by a grand jury in the Southern District of Ohio on one count of conspiracy to steal from interstate shipments, two counts of stealing from an interstate shipment, and one count of making a false statement. Singh was owner of Bhullar Transport Group LLC and former manager at Cargo Solution Express, Inc. (CSE).
The indictment alleges Singh and others who own and operate several motor carrier companies conspired to steal cargo from interstate shipments that were supposed to be delivered to Amazon and Bath and Body Works. Singh directed CSE drivers to stop at the CSE warehouse in Columbus, Ohio so employees could steal cargo from their trucks. The employees accessed the trailers by removing locking mechanisms on the trailer doors, making it appear as though the trailer doors were never opened during transport. Additionally, Singh submitted a falsified application for motor carrier authority to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
DOT-OIG is conducting this investigation with the Columbus Police Department.
