German police have issued an alert after up to €70,000 worth of Nutella was stolen from a lorry.
Thieves made off with the trailer – filled with 20 tonnes of Nutella, Kinder Surprise eggs and other chocolate products – from the German town of Neustadt.
The haul, believed to be worth between €50,000 and €70,000, was taken between Saturday evening and midday on Sunday.
According to The Times, Neustadt police released a statement urging people to immediately report "anyone offering large quantities of chocolate via unconventional channels".
A police spokesman added: "It is not even clear if they were after the sweets or after the trailer at this point we do not know what their motive was."
Officers are investigating whether the theft had any link to a trailer that was stolen in Weimar, 190km to the east, over the weekend.
A fruit juice lorry was also stolen on Saturday in Wittenburg, northeast of Neustadt.
