"Anyone offered large quantities of chocolate via unconventional channels should report it to the police immediately," police warned.
The theft occurred in the German town of Neustadt and police said a truck would have been necessary to complete the massive heist.

Authorities are also investigating if the crime is related to the theft of an empty trailer in the city of Weimar that was stolen over the weekend.
