Police in Norfolk County say someone drove away with $125,000 worth of marked tobacco from a Vittoria property earlier this month.

The theft of the white, 53-foot “reefer trailer” happened early on Oct. 19 on Vittoria Road, police say.

Reefer or refrigeration trailers are insulated or equipped with a cooling system to transport perishable goods.

The trailer reported stolen in Vittoria contained some 60 bales of marked tobacco valued at $125,000.

“Marked” tobacco products are stamped to indicate the required taxes have been paid, making them legal to sell

Anyone with information about this theft or who witnessed suspicious activity in the area on Oct. 19 is asked to call police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
