Over 6,000 tins of baked beans stolen from lorry as driver slept

A shortage of baked beans could soon be a problem in the West Midlands after thousands of tins were stolen from the back of a lorry. Members of the public have been warned to look out for anyone trying to sell large quantities of Heinz baked beans in ‘suspicious circumstances’.

A total of 6,400 tins of beans with sausages were taken from a Scania lorry parked in a Worcestershire layby as the driver slept in his cab. ‘Thieves cut a large hole in the curtain-sided articulated lorry parked in a rural layby on the A441 at Cookhill, near Redditch,’ West Mercia police said in a statement. ‘The layby is situated about half a mile from the M42 and the theft happened between 8.45pm Monday and 5.30am yesterday.’

A spokesperson said an entire pallet and part of a second pallet were stolen from the lorry. Anyone with information has been urged to call police on 101 or alternatively, the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
