Brazen thieves drove off with 16 tonnes of ham and bacon – worth $100,000 – from a western Sydney warehouse at the weekend…
The gang struck about 1.30am on Sunday, obscuring security cameras at the factory before cutting a hole in the refrigeration sheeting that formed the outer wall of the main cool room.
Once inside, the thieves used the company’s electronic palette jack to move the hams to the opening. They then passed them through the hole and into a truck they had parked in a vacant adjoining block…
Not content with their lucrative haul, they decided to deal the Zammits one more blow – scrawling a a cheeky “Thanks. Merry Xmass” message on an internal wall.
And to all a Good Night.
Security cameras on the outside and no motion detector on the inside? Dumb.
The smart play would be to announce a recall on that meat and see who brings it back.
I am just waiting for the guy down the pub to come up to me and ask if I want some “cheap” ham for Christmas.
Well, at least we know the criminals aren’t Jews or Muslims. The theft was definitely not kosher.
This is a job for Ronald Macdonald!
West Sydney crims, can steal snot out of an elephant.
It’s bacon.
People love bacon.
People need bacon.
It’s the lifeblood of advanced civilization.
It will survive World War 3, vegetarians getting laws passed to curtail barnyard animals eating all the corn, and is immune from UFO aliens who prefer cow blood and tongues.
It has excellent black market value.
I’m sorry..I just gotta…
“Hamburglars” ??
..and fries..?
I forgot..
kudos to our Angel..
WOOT!! WTG thieves!!
lol
16 tonnes? I’m guessing that this is a made to order hit. Seems to me that Israel is in league with the Brazilian’s. The citizens of Israel have a secret penchant for pork and the only way of getting it is by bribing the Brazilians; “We’ll not kick up a fuss about all the Ex-Nazi’s that you are harbouring, and in return you can provide us with a little bit of contraband.” Nod, nod, wink, wink, say no more. Now, Brazil are upset with the Aussies, because the Aussies are taking away business with their Uranium exports, competing with Brazil’s Ethanol exports. So, job done, a little bit of payback to the Aussies, no guilt! Problem solved!
