A sales­man em­ployed with AS Bry­dens & Sons Lim­it­ed was robbed of $106,000 worth of snacks, chew­ing gum and bat­ter­ies as he con­duct­ed a trans­ac­tion in Diego Mar­tin.

Po­lice said the 35-year-old re­port­ed­ly parked the truck at Kel­ly’s Su­per­mar­ket, Diego Mar­tin Main Road, Diego Mar­tin, around 9.10 am on Wednes­day and en­tered the gro­cery to con­duct sales.

A short while lat­er, he was alert­ed by a cus­tomer that sev­er­al peo­ple were seen off-load­ing the truck.

As the dri­ver and his as­sis­tant rushed out to the carpark, they found the truck open and a quan­ti­ty of items miss­ing.

The stolen items in­clud­ed al­most 200 cas­es of var­i­ous Cad­bury choco­lates, two cas­es of Oreo Mega Stuff cook­ies, box­es of Den­tine and Tri­dent chew­ing gums and sev­er­al cas­es of En­er­giz­er bat­ter­ies.

Po­lice of­fi­cers re­quest­ed CCTV footage in the sur­round­ing ar­eas as they in­ves­ti­gat­ed the theft.
