ST. JOHN’S, N.L.—The remarkable theft of about 30,000 litres of iceberg water from a vodka company warehouse in Newfoundland has bewildered the firm’s owners. Police are baffled after Newfoundland thieves made off with about 30,000 litres of unbottled iceberg water worth as much as $12,000. ( David Goldman / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS )Police are now investigating a theft valued between $9,000 and $12,000. The thieves took off with enough water to fill a tractor trailer tanker — equal to about 150,000 bottles of Iceberg vodka, according to Meyers. The other companies in the province licensed to harvest iceberg water — producing cosmetics, bottled water and beer for a St. John’s brewery — use significantly less water than Iceberg Vodka, and Meyers said his company is friendly with the other businesses.
