Over $21,000 Worth of Cadbury Chocolate Bars Disappear in Unusual Theft

It’s a tale of sweet irony, where one unlucky resident of Lucknow, the capital of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, had around 150 cartons of Cadbury chocolate bars mysteriously stolen from them. The chocolate bars, worth ₹17 lakh, which amounts to a whopping $21,269.80, went missing the night of August 8th. 

They were previously located in a warehouse in the Chinhat area, discovered to be owned by local Cadbury distributor Rajendra Singh Sidhu. According to news outlet the Hindustan Times, Sidhu filed an First Information Report (FIR), otherwise known as a police report.

“We’ve filed an FIR in the Chinhat police station. If anyone has any input, please guide us,” Rajendra Singh Sidhu is quoted as saying.

Based upon the police report, Sidhu received a call from a neighbor on Tuesday informing him that the warehouse door was broken. Upon arriving on the scene, he found the entire warehouse empty along with the security cameras missing. The only clue was the sound of a pickup truck, which was heard by the neighbor, thinking it was Sidhu coming to retrieve some chocolate stock. 

The investigation is on-going and local authorities plan to scan the footage of CCTV cameras installed in the area in hopes of finding a lead. One thing’s for sure, Indians love Cadbury, and whoever the chocolate thief is, their sweet tooth will be more than satisfied.
