#Burglars steal $60K of saffron in London spice heist

These thieves were just mad about saffron.

An herbal heist has caused a ruckus in London as burglars walked off with $60,000 of saffron this week.

London police have released CCTV footage of two burglars breaking into a warehouse in Ilford, sneaking away with 22 pounds of saffron – a spice, they say is “worth more than its weight in gold.”

The spice is so expensive “due in part to its labor-intensive harvesting method. It is used in a number of cuisines, including in Spanish, Moroccan and Persian dishes,” police told CNBC.

“This is someone’s livelihood and this theft will, of course, impact their business,” investigating officer Det. Sgt. Laura Mills told CNBC. “The victims are angry and upset that someone has done this to them. It’s important that those who are responsible are caught and the spice is returned to its rightful owners.”
