Fries, shredded pickles taken in Norfolk County food truck break-in

Detectives in Norfolk County are on the lookout for ketchup-smeared fingerprints after a food truck parked in Simcoe was burgled of fries, shredded pickles and sauces Friday morning.

The thieves dashed off with the fast food after “forcibly” entering the food truck around 10:20 a.m., according to police.

The hunt for the taken taters, and who took them, continues.
