Chef's Christmas Plea: Return Stolen Pies Worth $32K

Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks appealed to thieves who stole his van containing $32,000 worth of meat pies to donate the goods to those in need, invoking the Christmas spirit. The refrigerated van, intended for a York Christmas Market stall, was found abandoned with fake plates, but it's unclear if the pies were recovered. Banks urged the thieves to leave the pies at a community center, highlighting their limited shelf-life. This incident follows another food-related theft in England, where $390,000 worth of cheese was stolen in London.
