Holy macaroni! New Jersey town baffled by 500lbs of pasta dumped by brook

Fifteen wheelbarrow loads' of uncooked spaghetti and macaroni mysteriously left in Old Bridge creek

Residents of a New Jersey town are stumped after they found about 500lbs of pasta inexplicably dumped next to a local brook.

Last month, Nina Jochnowitz - a former candidate for a seat on the Old Bridge township council - posted pictures on to her Facebook page that showed heaps of spaghetti and macaroni preposterously dumped alongside a bank of Iresick brook.
