Thieves made off with a truckload of pistachios when they stole a truck and trailer from a yard of a business located near Foundry Street and Gingerich Road in Wilmot on Saturday at around 9:30 p.m., according to Waterloo Regional Police.

Police estimated the value of the hot nuts to be around $70,000.

But this is not the first time that bandits have pulled this type of heist in the area as of late, according to police.

Back on Nov. 5, 2023, a transport truck and a trailer that was full of walnuts went missing from a yard of a business near Eagle Street and Hespeler Road in Cambridge. They did not provide an estimate of how much the missing walnuts were worth.

Police are continuing to investigate and are asking anyone with information to call at 519-570-9777 ext. 6399 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
