In Denmark, the chocolate price has risen by over 20 percent in the last year and has made chocolate cakes a hot target for thieves, writes the newspaper BT.
Particularly theft-prone are chocolate cakes from Swedish Marabou, and therefore the food giant Salling Group has started setting alarms on them.
For the time being, it's unfortunately a necessity, says Christoffer Roslyng Green, press spokesperson at Salling Group to the newspaper.
Salling Group is behind retail chains such as Bilka, Netto and Føtex.
