POLICE are hunting thieves who made off with nine tonnes of Kellogg's cereal bars from a lorry park.
Detectives say the bars were in an articulated trailer decorated with red Curries livery which was taken from the Lockerbie Lorry Park at Johnstonebridge, Lockerbie.
The theft took place sometime around 2.30am on Thursday 8 October 2015, and officers placed the value of the bars at £45,000.
Detective Constable Martin Lumsden from Police Scotland CID said "We are currently carrying out investigations into what is a high value theft which has obviously involved an element of planning.
"We are reviewing CCTV footage and want to hear from anyone who may have been in or around the area of the lorry park around the time of this theft, or indeed the hours and days prior to the theft as those responsible may have been in area carrying out some form of reconnaissance and planning. Information can be passed to us through the 101 number."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
