BBC-NORTHERN IRELAND reports :

"A gang who swindled £20,000 out of a Belfast pensioner's bank account spent his savings on luxury chocolates.
Professor Leslie Clarkson's Halifax account was cleared out by a gang who got his security details.

They ordered £15,000 worth of Thorntons' chocolates which were picked up in England minutes after the fraudulent debit payment was accepted."

they sure must have had a 'sweet tooth' .
police should be looking for people suffering from stomach cramps .
certainly one of the weirdest things i've ever heard .
i've heard the term "laundering" money - so what is this called ?

Obviously, they plan to resell the candy.

Anybody have any ideas on how they plan to profit from this?

Is there some foreign country where Thornton's chocolate is in such demand that retailers would go onto the black market to obtain it?
