£1,000 of Meat Stolen in Daylight From Mautby Farm Shop

The honesty-box business says the loss days before Christmas has left the family deflated.

Overview

  • Norfolk Police say the theft was reported at 1.36pm on Saturday at the Browns Lane site near Great Yarmouth, and inquiries are ongoing.
  • Clear CCTV from the premises has been handed to officers after three men arrived in a white Transit van and coordinated the theft.
  • Owner Erin Shreeve called the raid a huge hit for the small family business and described the act as intentional and devastating.
  • The thieves emptied a fridge of large cuts of beef and other meat, and the shop says any recovered goods could not be sold due to uncertain storage.
  • The community-run outlet, which relies on trust payments, appealed for information as customers posted messages of support online.
