Nutella alert after 20 tonnes of chocolate spread stolen by gang

German police have issued an alert after up to €70,000 worth of Nutella was stolen from a lorry.

Thieves made off with the trailer – filled with 20 tonnes of Nutella, Kinder Surprise eggs and other chocolate products – from the German town of Neustadt.

The haul, believed to be worth between €50,000 and €70,000, was taken between Saturday evening and midday on Sunday.

 Man, it would take at least a week to eat that much Nutella!

According to The Times, Neustadt police released a statement urging people to immediately report “anyone offering large quantities of chocolate via unconventional channels”.

A police spokesman added: “It is not even clear if they were after the sweets or after the trailer — at this point we do not know what their motive was.” 

I wonder if they sell Nutella on the side of the road in Germany, the way we do crabs in Maryland?
