Nutella goes missing in Germany
Posted On: Aug. 17, 2017 11:50 AM CSTPerhaps a bank-caliber armored truck would have been a good risk-management strategy, as 20 tons of creamy, chocolatey hazelnut gold has gone missing in Germany, according to news outlets.
"Anyone offered large quantities [of chocolate] via unconventional channels should report it to the police immediately," are the instructions from law enforcement in Germany, where over the weekend thieves stole a refrigerated trailer packed with globs of Nutella and other confections, the media is reporting.
Police in Neustadt believe the confections stolen over the weekend could be worth upward of $80,000, according to German newspaper Deutsche Welle. A "spokesman told local media the perpetrators would have needed a truck of their own, not just a car, to be able to tow such heavy cargo," the newspaper reported.
