Fake bomb in jar of nutella

A FAKE bomb has been found in a jar of Nutella accompanied with a threat saying “first warning.”

The 825g jar was bought at the Cliscouët Intermarché in Vannes, Brittany and contained a battery, wires, a blue liquid which resembled petrol, plaster and a cartridge of printer ink.

The man who bought the jar immediately took it to the police station, and the police called bomb disposal experts from Brest.

The “bomb” contained no explosive substance however a threatening letter accompanied the device with the words “first warning.” An inquiry is underway.

Deputy public prosecutor of Vannes Christine Le Crom said: “We have examined all the jars of spread in the Intermarché in Cliscouët. Absoultely nothing has been found.”

As yet investigators say they have no leads.

Ms Le Crom added: “We are sure, however, that neither the manufacturer of Nutella, nor the Intermarché are targeted.”

Video surveillance footage from the supermarket is currently being examined.

Manufacturers of Nutella Ferrero said in a statement: “It is unlikely that the production site at Villers-Ecalles (Seine-Maritime) is involved.”
