80,000 Pounds of Walnuts Stolen

Two companies who recently bought walnuts from Tehama County each reported around 40,000 pounds of the processed nuts stolen in the last two weeks, and deputies are searching for a suspicious delivery driver with a Russian accent who they say is behind it all.

The mystery started Oct. 26, when the Tehama County Sheriff's Office got a call from a freight brokerage firm in Southern California reporting that a truckload of walnuts never got to Miami like it should have two days earlier, deputies said.

Employees told sheriff's deputies that the driver of a white semi with a Russian accent picked up the load on Oct. 19. The walnuts were purchased by F.C. Bloxom and Co., a Seattle-based company, and to be delivered to Miami.
