Robbers hijack caviar truck in St Petersburg

What can only be described as a really fishy story, five armed robbers hijacked a truck carrying red caviar in St Petersburg, Russia.

The guard and driver were dumped in a city suburb before the criminals made their getaway.

Five unidentified men armed with pistols attacked the driver and the guard of the lorry, which was loaded with 13 tonnes of red caviar

a spokesman said.

The 13 Tonne cargo is valued at an estimated 15 million rubles ($587,000).

Red caviar, a popular delicacy in Russia, is the eggs of various types of salmon and considerably cheaper than black sturgeon caviar.

Now matter how you look at it though, that is a lot of eggs!
