Bayer gets stiffed by potency pill heist

[Adsos Letter]

FRANKFURT (Reuters)

- A gang of four looted 4.9 million euros ($6.9 million) worth of potency pills in a burglary at Bayer AG's headquarters, the company said on Monday.

Five weeks after burglars stole two barrels filled with 320,000 of Bayer's Levitra pills, Bayer said it had put up a reward of 20,000 euros for information leading either to the perpetrators being caught or the retrieval of more than half the swag.

The thieves cut through a wire fence and smashed a window in a building where the pills were stored before escaping unrecognized, German police said.

The stolen amount is equivalent to about five days of production for the global market.
