Thieves stole an incredible £134,000 worth of Kinder Bueno chocolate from a lorry parked close to Liverpool in an audacious nocturnal theft. The event happened on March 17 at around three in the morning in the West Lancashire industrial estate known as Gillibrands.
The offenders, according to Skelmersdale Police, connected a trailer to a truck and then took off with the tasty spoils. Investigators believe that following the original theft, the pilfered items were moved to a different car near Simonswood, Kirkby. Thankfully, the stolen trailer has been found by the cops near Rainford.
Computer ‘This is a significant commercial theft, and I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious either in the area around the industrial estate or the area where the load has been transferred or the trailer has been abandoned to get in touch,’ said Holly Bennett, pleading with witnesses to come forward.
Authorities and the surrounding community are shocked by the blatant theft of such a large quantity of chocolate, and efforts are being made to identify and apprehend those who committed the delectable crime.”
