£1m worth of sex toys stolen from lorry

CES 2019: Sex toy award revoked after device deemed 'immoral' ( Google Maps )

Thieves have stolen £1m worth of sex toys from a lorry that was parked overnight, police said. 

The goods were on their way to Rocks-Off Ltd, a sex toy manufacturer and designer based in Kettering, having been picked up from the port of Felixstowe in Suffolk. 

A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said theft took place sometime between 1am and 6.30am on 18 September, while the vehicle was parked off the A43 near the village of Broughton. 

A lock was cut on its trailer. 

Rocks-Off Ltd supplies its own brand and branded sex toys including vibrators and intimate massagers.

The firm was awarded Sex Toy Manufacturer of the Year in the 2019 EAN EROTIX awards - a competition for adult products, toys and companies.

The company has won 31 awards in total for its products, according to its website. 

Witnesses or anyone with information have been asked to contact Northamptonshire Police on 101 or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
