Chef's Stolen Pie Van Recovered After Christmas Plea to Thieves
TL;DR Summary
Thieves in northern England stole a van containing 2,500 pies, valued at £25,000, from Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks, who was preparing to deliver them to the York Christmas Market. Banks, who owns The Black Swan in Oldstead, appealed to the thieves to return the pies, suggesting they could be donated to a community center. The van was later found abandoned with fake license plates, but the pies' status remains unknown. This incident follows a recent theft of 24 tons of artisanal cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy.
