Over $35,000 worth of salsa and dips were stolen in a brazen truck heist in Ontario, Canada, and police are still no closer to recovering it all.
It is incredibly annoying when you go to a store or a restaurant and they don’t have your favorite sauce in stock. There’s no telling just how many times it’s happened at a McDonald’s or Chick-fil-A, too.
Sometimes it is completely out of anyone’s hands, and you’ll have to try again another time. However, anyone waiting for salsa and dip deliveries in Essex County, Ontario, Canada, will have suffered a bigger delay than normal.
In late September, two tractor-trailers were stolen from a sideroad parking lot, with one of the trailers containing over $35,000 worth of salsa and sauce.
Salsa heist is latest truck robbery in Ontario
According to local police, a transport truck was later returned to the location, damaged and without the trailer, which means that the pricey cargo was also still missing.
That robbery, which occurred on September 27, was then followed by another later in the day. Like the salsa heist, that truck was recovered two days later.
However, the stolen trailer and the cargo remain outstanding, and police are offering rewards for anyone with information. That includes a $2000 reward.
As per CTV, this isn’t the first brazen truck heist that the town has since in recent months. There have been multiple, with high-end alcohol and meat being taken too.
According to Chris Lewis, a security expert, those items are being targeted as they “much easier to sell,” but he suggested that the salsa robbery is “unusual” as it’s harder to sell.
“Nothing is without theft and being sold; some things are just way more profitable and easier to get rid of than salsa,” Lewis told CTV.
