Thieves take wing with 1m euros of Red Bull in Belgium
Thirsty thieves stole more than 300 pallets of Red Bull cans worth around one million euros from a depot in Belgium in what police described yesterday as a “very professional” heist.
The energy drink -- whose slogan is “Red Bull gives you wings” -- was stolen on Sunday from an industrial estate in Menin district, on the French border. The team of thieves took around 12 hours and made repeated trips to take the equivalent of 11 trucks worth of the drink from the depot, which is on the motorway linking the Belgian city of Ghent to Lille in northern France.
A Belgian police source said they were using CCTV images to identify the suspects, and would not rule out that they had inside help.
