Crime Ring Bust Uncovers an Entire Truckload of Stolen Nutella
Dana Hatic


Along with drugs, guns, and dozens of luxury cars

Police in Toronto busted a high-profile crime ring and found some unlikely contraband among the nearly $5 million worth of stolen goods. Along with 60 luxury automobiles, drugs, guns, and cash, police discovered a truckload of Nutella with an estimated value of $16,000, according to the Toronto Star.

The investigation apparently began with a single auto theft, eventually growing to include multiple vehicle thefts, cargo heists (including the Nutella), and a kidnapping plot. One officer told the Star, “I’ve never seen an investigation that did spiral into so many directions.”

Police have brought 137 charges against 23 people, including a longtime suspect dubbed the “King of Car Thieves,” 60-year-old Balwinder Dhaliwal, who was featured in a true crime series on the History Channel, as USA Today reported.

While Nutella seems innocuous compared to the cocaine, marijuana, and heroin also seized in the bust, the value of the hazelnut spread is irrefutable: A poor hazelnut harvest this year has led to a nearly 38 percent increase in Nutella prices, and this isn’t the first Nutella heist. In 2013, thieves in Germany stole 5.5 tons of Nutella amid rising prices, and just last year police in Italy thwarted another Nutella theft. Nutella production is also credited with causing a hazelnut shortage in 2014 that also caused prices to surge, so maybe this Canadian crime ring was onto something more than snacking.

Choleric, Mexican labor has planted a Christmas tree farm / pumpkin patch / corn maze, in the nearby badlands. It looks like scrub and desert, not like a breadbasket, if not for the drip line.

Local news reports a pumpkin shortage, yearly. Yes, really.

Sometime before New Year's, there will be an ad, in the dregs of Craigslist, etc, trying to get people to pick them up, for animal feed.

Profiteers seem to carry out "wars," against their very own commodities, in order to maintain high prices.

The tea camellia, spices, and various drugs, can probably grow, here, with a little common sense.

Our farmers purge mature groves of avocado and grapefruit, growing beside small creeks. I have seen working conditions and personally managed to reclaim some of the wood.

Olive trees go feral, in the deserts adjacent to Death Valley, yet the oil is adulterated and reportedly becomes rare, in some places, arguably more hospitable.

spice wars to regulate supply and demand and therefore market value and currency rates?  No Way!  You must be mad!  Only a fool would conceive of such a thing.  what a crock!  (that was all sarcasm of course)


yes actually.  OPEC just did it on TV in front of everyone and reported it to the media.  So yes... actually.

DEA waged an unofficial 'war' on coca and opium and cannabis for nearly 70yrs.  and look how that turned such a profit.

it's deplorable.
