Mexican authorities said they seized 62 high-end motorcycles from four properties in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. The FBI later estimated that a large number of motorcycles believed to belong to Ryan Wedding were worth approximately US$40 million; that is an authority estimate, not an independently verified appraisal or sale price.
The seizure was part of a broader operation that also involved other property. Wedding was taken into custody in Mexico on January 22, 2026, and pleaded not guilty at an arraignment in California on January 26, according to ABC News’ dated case timeline.
What authorities reported seizing
On December 24, 2025, Mexican officials announced seizures from four properties in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. Their announcement did not name Wedding, but described the items as connected to a former Olympic athlete on the U.S. most-wanted list. The reported items included 62 high-end motorcycles, two vehicles, artwork, two Olympic medals, drugs, and other items.
The FBI Los Angeles later said Mexican authorities had seized a large number of motorcycles with an estimated value of approximately US$40 million, believed to belong to Wedding. ABC News reported the FBI’s statement and the Mexican authorities’ initial announcement. The available reporting does not provide an item-by-item valuation or explain a separate appraisal method.

Where the searches took place and who collaborated
The searches were conducted under warrants at four properties in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. The FBI said the operation involved Mexican authorities, the FBI, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The motorcycles were among a larger seizure, not the only property recovered. The reported count of 62 comes from the Mexican authorities’ initial announcement; the later FBI statement described a large number of motorcycles and supplied the approximate value.

What the $40 million estimate means
The approximately US$40 million figure is an estimate attributed to the FBI Los Angeles office. The sources reviewed do not establish that the motorcycles legally belonged to Wedding, provide a separate appraisal, or report a sale at that price. The FBI’s reported wording was that the motorcycles were “believed to be owned” by him.
Accordingly, the seizure and the estimate should not be treated as a court finding about ownership or guilt. The available reporting describes allegations in a criminal case; it does not establish that Wedding has been convicted of the charged conduct.
