A man stole a New York City bakery truck and began
delivering loaves of bread to random businesses.
Police say David Bastar hopped into Grimaldi’s Home of
Bread truck on Manhattan’s Upper East Side early Monday
while the real driver was making a delivery at a pizzeria.
Wearing only his underwear, Bastar then began dropping off
baguettes, wheat rolls and bread. He eventually distributed
the entire $8,000 worth of baked goods – but not to the
bakery’s customers.
A spokesman for Grimaldi’s said that workers arrived at their
businesses to find bread products stacked in front of their doors.
David Bastar has been taken to a hospital for evaluation.
