Premium wine stolen
Premium quality wine valued at half a million dollars was stolen from shipping containers on Pine Road, Smithfield last month.
The South Australian wine, which is exclusively sold online, has a retail value of about $500,000 with Merrylands police saying the theft likely occurred between January 25 and January 28.
Merrylands crime manager detective inspector Adam Phillips asked that anyone who may have been approached to buy the wine to come forward,
“This is wine which is not widely sold at bottle shops and pubs,'' detective inspector Adam Phillips said.
“We are confident that whoever has possession of the wine will try to sell it and we urge anyone who may have been approached to buy wine in bulk should contact police immediately.”
Anyone with information: Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
