Thieves have made off with $400,000 worth of oysters, lobsters and crab in three separate heists, police have said.<\/p>\n

40,000 full-grown oysters, in cages worth $20,000, were snatched in Falmouth, Maine, on November 22 in Casco Bay.<\/p>\n

Maine Marine Patrol Sgt Matthew Sinclair said the situation was \u2018devastating\u2019 for a small businessman.<\/p>\n

Just weeks later, the thieves struck again in Taunton, Massachusetts, with crab and lobster meat being taken from warehouses and a fraudulent trucking company.<\/p>\n

CEO of Rexing Companies, Dylan Rexing, said the thief impersonated a real carrier to get the seafood.<\/p>\n

\u2018They had a spoofed email address. They changed the name on the side of the truck. They made a fake certified driver\u2019s license. It\u2019s a very sophisticated\u00a0crime<\/a>,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s currently unknown where the seafood ended up, but\u00a0Rexing has speculated that the lobster is in restaurants.<\/a><\/p>\n

He added: \u2018Whether you eat seafood or not, they\u2019re stealing other items. They\u2019re stealing items to build your cars.<\/p>\n

In November, a woman was caught on CCTV walking off with a box full of shellfish from a Michelin-starred restaurant in\u00a0Chelsea<\/a>,\u00a0London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She was filmed, wearing blue jeans and light-coloured slippers, taking around \u00a3200 in langoustines from the porch of Elystan Street.<\/p>\n

The mini-lobster-like seafood was intended for a bisque with chilli, spring onions, lemon zest, and garlic, selling for \u00a339 per portion.<\/p>\n

The restaurant shared the footage on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0to try and identify the woman.<\/p>\n
