Nestlé has confirmed the theft of a large shipment of its KitKat bars during transit in Europe, raising concerns over possible supply disruptions ahead of the Easter period, Qazinform News Agency correspondent reports.
In a statement, the company said that on March 28, “a truck transporting 413,793 units of its new chocolate range was stolen during transit in Europe.” The shipment, weighing 12 tons, disappeared while en route from Italy to Poland and was intended for distribution across several European markets. The vehicle and its cargo remain missing.
As Qazinform News Agency reported earlier, three paintings by French artists were stolen in a burglary at a museum near Parma in northern Italy.
