Aust thieves demand ransom of 120 sausages

Darling Downs butcher Mark Nolan says he has little information which could lead to the kidnappers of a 40kg fibreglass sausage from the roof of his Toowoomba shop.

The 2m tall advertising sign was pulled from the roof of the shop in a 30-minute heist on Monday.

Nolan said he had received one mysterious phone call telling him his reward of 10kg of sausages was inadequate. "They said they wanted more than 120 sausages."
