Over £12,500 worth of cigarettes were stolen after thieves hijacked a lorry owned by Tesco in Wiltshire on July 16th. The criminal gained access to the lorry whilst the driver parked up on a lay-by taking a break but stole the goods after it moved to the depot loading bay. It is thought the criminals loaded the cigarettes into another vehicle before getting away with the goods.
Wiltshire Police are urging people to come forward if they recall anything suspicious in the area on July 16th with no result so far.
