$70k of pistachios stolen in an Ontario town
Published January 21, 2024 at 5:35 pm
In a rather nutty turn of events, Waterloo Regional Police are actively investigating a peculiar theft of a transport truck and trailer from Wilmot Township which was loaded with pistachios.
On Jan. 20 around 9:30 p.m., police say suspects pilfered the nut-filled cargo from a business yard near Foundry Street and Gingerich Road.
The estimated value of the stolen pistachios is a whopping $70,000.
This marks the second recent occurrence of a nut-related vehicle heist in the region.
On Nov. 5, 2023, a transport truck and trailer filled with walnuts vanished from a business yard in the vicinity of Eagle Street North and Hespeler Road in Cambridge.
