Kit Kat Hires Armed Guards To Protect Its Chocolate Bars After Massive Robbery

The recent heist of 12 tons of Kit Kat bars has prompted the popular candy’s distributors to hire armed escorts.

Kit Kat has even created a new app designed to find the stolen chocolate bars.

The company launched a KitKat “tracker” to help them try to recover the missing chocolates.

After thieves stole an entire truck containing more than 400,000 candy bars from a truck leaving an Italian production site late last month, Kit Kat suits decided to crack down.

Besides creating a Kit Kat tracker, they’re now using armored trucks with guards to accompany their delivery vans.
