Snow crab filled truck, sprayed with dangerous chemical, stolen

Police in Nova Scotia are investigating the theft of a tractor-trailer carrying more than 18,000 kilograms of snow crab in a container sprayed with a dangerous chemical. Police say the 2007 Freightliner was reported stolen from Nova Truck Centre on Barker Lane in Westville on Sunday. Police are warning people that the crab was to be shipped to Japan and is in a container laced with a preservative, which is not harmful to crab but can be lethal if consumed. link 08:21
