Thieves have stolen £134,000 worth of chocolate from a truck near Liverpool.

The chocolate thieves hooked up a lorry to a trailer in Gillibrands industrial estate, West Lancashire, at around 3am on March 17, and made off with a load of mainly Kinder Bueno chocolate, valued at £134,000.

Skelmersdale Police believe the lorry was taken to Simonswood, Kirkby, where the stolen goods were loaded on to another vehicle. The stolen trailer has been recovered in Rainford.

PC Holly Bennett, from Skelmersdale Police, said: “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.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting log 0353 of March 17th or contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
