A Krispy Kreme delivery van containing 10,000 doughnuts stolen in the early hours of the morning remains missing, with police now appealing for information from the public.
The van was en-route to multiple Krispy Kreme locations in the Newcastle area when it was stolen by a woman believed to be in her 30s from a Carlingford service station at about 4am this morning.
Police were told a woman entered the unoccupied vehicle before driving off, and have commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Police have said the woman has been described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance in her early 30s, with long hair.
She was wearing dark clothing and carrying a white handbag.
