Gin worth £18,000 stolen from lorry on A14

Thieves have stolen £18,000 worth of gin from a lorry parked on a roadside in Northamptonshire, police said.

More than 1,000 bottles were taken from the truck while it was in a lay-by between junctions two and three on the A14 eastbound carriageway.

Police believe a van was used to steal the pallet of bottles between 20:00 GMT on Wednesday and 05:00 on Thursday.

Northamptonshire Police urged anyone offered cheap Bombay Sapphire gin to contact the force.

LOL, like prosspective receivers of the stolen good will rat... the goods are good and the reward slight.

Looks like a frame up as 1,000 bottles wouldn't last a year in JimC's case. Now the gin lakes surrounded by lemon trees appearing all over the world is a little more suspect?

Yer secret is safe with me, Jim. I'll be checking the mail once a week for a package, though. :coffee:
