In the past few months, Australia’s leading sexual wellness company, VUSH, has been the subject of three large-scale heists.
The thieves have stolen $120,000 worth of sex toys and vibrators from the Williamstown North warehouse in Victoria, amounting to 2500 adult toys.
The three separate break-ins occurred between July to September 2024.
The culprits have yet to be found and local authorities have now released surveillance footage from the VUSH warehouse in hopes of finding the alleged criminals.
Liana Lorenzato, General Manager at VUSH, said: “It’s flattering to know our products are in such high demand, but we’d prefer customers to go through the proper channels and, you know, actually experience our wide range onsite and pay for them.”
Stolen products include the best-selling Clitoral Vacuum Stimulator Empress 2 and the Couples Vibrating Dual Motor Pleasure Ring Orb, as well as the Connection Cards and an array of lubricants, according to Lorenzato.
“With three robberies in as many months, our team has been working closely with the police to enhance security measures,” she said.
“Yet, the question on everyone’s lips is: who are these cheeky Pleasure Pirates, and what are they planning to do with such a large stash of pleasure products? A block party, perhaps? An underground pleasure club?” Lorenzato said.
The company also explained that while finding humour is a large part of VUSH’s ethos, they remain committed to working with law enforcement to ensure justice is served.
VUSH is an Australian sexual wellness brand founded in 2018 with the goal to not only create quality sexual wellness products but also to break the stigma around pleasure and sex toys.
In the six years since, the brand have created viral sex toys with over 14,000 reviews raving about the adult toys.
