Robbers flee with 100 live pigs
2011-03-05
[Straits Times] A CONSIGNMENT containing at least 100 live pigs was hijacked by three armed robbers in Bidor near here.
First 75,000 extra-thin condoms, now a truckload of pigs, minus the truck. What's going on over there?
Tapah OCPD Supt Roslan Bek Ahmad said the robbers also held the lorry driver captive before ditching him by the roadside.

'The driver was about to leave the pig farm to deliver the consignment when he was ambushed by the robbers. One of them placed a parang on his neck and forced him into the lorry before speeding off,' he said.

Supt Roslan said the driver was tied up during the incident at about 2.20pm on Wednesday.

He said shortly after, the robbers released him and sped off with the consignment.

Supt Roslan said the lorry was later found abandoned in Pedas, Negri Sembilan, about 230km away, minus the pigs.

#9  Throw water balloons at them from a very safe distance. From all I've heard, pigs can be killers when disturbed, no matter what it says in Charlotte's Web.

TW - Quite so, swine can be very dangerous animals. There is also the matter of them being very intelligent, smarter than dogs.

But they contain the raw material for BACON! Here piggie piggie piggie.

#8  Not sure about that John - the Koran says not to touch them. Now if we also see 100,000 pairs of stolen latex gloves...

#6  Goodluck,
I think that we can rule out al-Qaeda, unless they decided to really break bad. ;D

#5  What would YOU do with 100 pigs if you had 75,000 extra-thin Condoms?

I think we can rule out making pork sausage.

#4  Bidor is a small town in the district of Batang Padang, Perak, Malaysia. Chinese name is ÃÀÂÞ.

Can we safely say a Mohammadean did not make off with the swine? After all it would be HARAM to handle pigs.

do you suppose there is some "connection" between these two incidents> Only metaphorically speaking, of course. What would YOU do with 100 pigs if you had 75,000 extra-thin Condoms?
Just asking.
