RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,
Thieves have stolen 80,000 face masks which were destined
for the NHS and front-line workers.
The £166,000 worth of personal protective equipment (PPE)
was taken when three people broke into a warehouse in Salford on Wednesday.
Det Insp Chris Mannion, from Greater Manchester Police, said
it was a "particularly sickening crime".
The masks were to be supplied to the NHS, along with
councils and care homes, in West Yorkshire.
The high-quality n95 respirator masks were taken from the
warehouse of a medical supplies firm at the Trafalgar Business Park overnight.
The gang spent about two hours at the premises, first
cutting a hole in the warehouse steel shutters so as not to trigger burglar
alarms by lifting up the door.
They then removed 320 boxes, or 10 pallets' worth, of the
masks.
Other medical equipment, including cheaper quality masks
also housed at the site, were left untouched.
