TORONTO, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Toronto police are searching for two armed men who hijacked a tractor-trailer load of frozen chicken from a trucker in Montreal.
The unidentified truck driver received minor injuries when the two men, armed with a shotgun and assault rifle commandeered his truck in Montreal. The men bound the driver with duct tape and tossed him into the cab's sleeping compartment, the Toronto Sun said.
The thieves drove to Toronto and unloaded the cargo of 56,000 pounds of chicken at an unknown location and then abandoned the vehicle on a major highway Tuesday morning.
The driver managed to free himself and drove to the nearest pay phone.
The value of the haul, depending on the cuts, could be as high as $80,000, the newspaper said.
