CLAYTON, N.C. (AP) – Police in Clayton are looking for a half-million dollars worth of stolen liquor, but they’re not sure the thieves know what they took.

According to police, a tractor-trailer was reported stolen from a lot behind a Bojangles’ restaurant. Inside the trailer was an assortment of hard liquor.

Police Chief Glen B. Allen told The News & Observer of Raleigh that it’s unclear whether the thieves were after the rig, the alcohol – or both.

Police said the driver of the truck parked the truck behind Bojangles’ on Thursday night. When he returned Friday, it was gone. Allen wouldn’t identify the driver.

The truck was destined for Raleigh.

Police are seeking a 2006 Volvo tractor-trailer bearing a Cowan Systems company logo and Maine license plate number 0975737. More from WAVY-TV 10

Or maybe he was after the diesel fuel in the tank…..
