+--- Thread: L.A. thieves lift $2.5M in Gold Vodka (/thread-191.html)
- Ascendancy - 07-06-2013
Thieves identified as originating from a Los Angeles organization stole $2.5 million worth of high-end vodka by busting a hole in the exterior of a warehouse outside Moscow. They made off with 4,000 bottles of the superpremium vodka produced by Gold Symphony.
The thieves appeared to know exactly where to tunnel the hole, therefore must have been aware of the warehouse interior layout.
The gold-encrusted bottles of vodka normally sell for $500 a bottle and upwards of $2,000 in nightclub bottle service. It features 24-karat gold on the label reflecting the golden, amber color which the company claims is due to aging in cognac barrels for up to three years.
Investigation is underway to recollect the product. The warehouse owner has been detained for questioning.
