Amid the country’s biggest toilet paper shortage in recent history, police in North Carolina discovered a stolen truck filled with pallets of the fluffy white gold.
While stores across the country are limiting purchases and trying to fill as many orders as possible – and manufacturers have ramped up capacity…it appears one person decided to go about things in a very different way.
WTHR NBC Channel 13 reports that deputies from Guilford County had witnessed a full semi-truck perform a traffic violation, so they pursued it. Following this truck all the way to a warehouse, deputies then stopped the truck and engaged with the person driving.
After running the vehicle identification, they learned that the 18-wheeler had been reported stolen.
Upon opening the trailer, deputies discovered that it was filled with a massive amount of commercial toilet paper and paper towels – more than 18,000 pounds, to be exact!
