The alleged thief reportedly fled from a service station in Carlingford, located northwest of Sydney, in a van carrying a staggering 10,000 donuts while the driver was inside settling payment at around 3.30am.
The van was on its way to Newcastle, prepared for multiple deliveries spanning a variety of donuts, from Christmas themed to much-loved classic variations.
Krispy Kreme said in a statement: “Police are currently searching for the van and the sweet tooth thief. It is believed that he jumped into the van when the driver was inside the service station.”

People who were planning to arrive at the candy chain’s nearby locations in Newcastle are said to have had a bad idea after discovering that most of the donuts did not arrive at the locations to be restocked.
However, the staff involved did everything they could to rectify the situation. Head of supply chain Lenny Reddy said: “Our Krispy Kreme team is working to replace the 10,000 stolen donuts, which are hand-made and fresh each day, at their intended destinations.”
How is the search going?
Authorities are actively searching for a woman matching the description of being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander appearance, aged in her 30s, with long black or brown hair. She was reportedly wearing dark clothing and carrying a white purse.
