£18,000 worth of Bombay Sapphire gin stolen
A pallet of Bombay Sapphire gin worth more than £18,000 was stolen from a parked lorry at the side of the A14 in Northamptonshire, UK.
Police say the theft took place at some point between the hours of 8pm on Wednesday 19 February and 5am the following morning when the lorry was parked in a lay-by between junctions two and three of the eastbound carriageway.
As reported in the Northampton Chronicle and Echo, the thieves took off with more than 1,000 700ml bottles of Bombay Sapphire.
Due to the large quantity stolen, officers believe a van would have been used to transport the stolen goods.
Gordon Badcock, of Northamptonshire Police’s Crime Investigations Bureau, said: “This was a substantial amount of gin that was stolen and we would ask anyone who is offered cheap bottles of Bombay Sapphire, or who knows anything about this theft, to get in touch with us.”
