Thieves make off with load of suds

KEMPTOWN – Thieves have made off with 144 kegs of beer after stealing a tractor-trailer full of suds from a Truro business last weekend.
Colchester County RCMP recovered the empty Armour Transport truck Sunday on the Riversdale Road in Kemptown. The tractor-trailer was stolen from Armour’s facility on Crossley Avenue in Truro sometime after midnight on Saturday.
“We didn’t find out until Tuesday that the tractor-trailer had a full load and that the load was missing,” Const. Addie MacCallum told the Truro Daily News Wednesday.
The vehicle’s ignition was damaged and the door to the trailer was forced open. Each keg weighs about 165 pounds and were of one specific brand of beer but police are not releasing that detail.
The value of the beer is anticipated to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
MacCallum is hopeful the thieves will be caught. As the vehicle was leaving the Truro Industrial Park it collided with a power pole and fled the scene.
Truro police responded to the damaged pole at Willow Street and Upham Drive around 12:53 a.m. on Sunday. It caused a power outage for a portion of the town.
“There’s a pretty good chance that somebody might have seen something because this truck cleaned out a telephone pole right down town,” MacCallum said.
The tractor-trailer had arrived from Quebec at the facility on Friday at 9 a.m.
The incident is being investigated by the Colchester County integrated street crime unit. Anyone with information is asked to contact Colchester RCMP at 893-6820, Truro police at 895-5351 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
