Just over a month after The Great British Cheese Heist  comes news of The Great British Pie Heist!

 

Michelin star chef Tommy Banks has had his van stolen. The refrigerated van was parked overnight plugged in to keep it refrigerated as it contained 25,000 meat pies, a week's stock for his shop in Yorkshire. The full story is on the link to the Pie Heist above.

In other articles the chef has been quoted as saying:

“If you are the thieves and read this I urge you to the drop the pies off somewhere. So we can at least give them to people who need food and they are not wasted. Also I think you are a thieving piece of shit and I hope you don’t get any presents this Christmas.”

Sadly, the story has an unhappy ending.

 

Police have found the van abandoned  along with all the pies, both of which are damaged beyond hope and having to be written off. 

 

“It’s just so much waste,” [Banks] said in a video on Instagram. “It’s just rubbish. Sorry, it’s not a happier ending to this story.
