Thieves in northern England might have bitten off more than they can chew after stealing a van carrying 2,500 pies, worth about £25,000 ($31,600).

The pies were ready to go to the York Christmas Market when they were stolen from Michelin-star chef Tommy Banks. The pies have since been found by the police.

I know you’re a criminal, but maybe just do something nice because it’s Christmas,” said British chef Tommy Banks, after thieves stole a van full of pies.
