Twelve tonnes of KitKat, totaling 413,793 bars, went missing in Europe last week after thieves hijacked the truck transporting them, according to Nestlé, the manufacturer.
In a statement issued on Friday, March 27, the company said the consignment, which carried its new Formula One range — designed in the shape of race cars — was stolen between its “factory in Central Italy and its destination in Poland.”
The statement added that the company was working closely with local authorities and maintained that there would be no shortage of the product in the market.
