Kourtney Kardashian‘s company Lemme was targeted in a truck heist last week, with the robber later trying to sell the reality star $4 million worth of stolen merchandise back to her.
Kourtney, 44, who is married to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, 48, has a stake in the company Lemme, a supplement line.
Insiders told TMZ on Tuesday that the truck heist occurred at a logistics facility used for storing and shipping Lemme products in Southern California‘s San Fernando Valley.
The robbers made off with the seven-figure sum of products under the Lemme Burn label, sources told the outlet.
A person or people involved in the robbery hacked into the security system of the facility, sources told the outlet, and were able to gain physical access with fake credentials and identification.
The thieves were able to drive away from the scene of the crime with no resistance, sources told the outlet.
A ransom note had been sent digitally by the thieves asking for repayment in exchange for the stolen goods, the outlet reported.
Company officials filed a report for grand theft with police, who are probing the incident, according to TMZ.
A spokesperson for The Kardashians star’s brand said that their team had been ‘working closely with law enforcement agencies to investigate the theft.’
Staffers were working to keep business running smoothly amid the unanticipated interruption.
‘We are implementing contingency plans to minimize any impact to our customers and retail partners,’ the spokesperson said.
Kourtney has frequently used her large Instagram platform – which has more than 224 million followers – to promote her product.
In January, she was seen in a clip in which she shopped at a Target location, showcasing her product on the shelves at the retail establishment.
Earlier this month, she posted a clip on Super Bowl Sunday to promote her Lemme brand.
