By Lauren McMah of news.com.auPolice have uncovered $30,000 worth of stolen Nutella as part of a major investigation into a crime syndicate linked to drug trafficking, car theft and a kidnapping plot in Canada. Following an extensive wire-tapping investigation, police on Friday swooped on 23 people accused of being part of the crime group, including ringleader Balwinder Dhaliwal, an alleged criminal mastermind known as the "King of Car Thieves". Police originally began investigating the group over a single car theft and eventually uncovered a tangled web of criminal activity. It's alleged the group stole expensive cars - including Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches, BMWs and Lexuses - by breaking into homes to snatch keys. Det Sgt LaSalle said the ring was also connected to cargo theft, including the entire truckload of Nutella.
