Police stop near Peterborough nets food worth £5,000

More than £5,000-worth of suspected stolen food, including chocolate, cheese and chorizo, has been discovered in the boot of a car by police.

Officers thought the vehicle was looking a little low to the ground as it travelled along the A16, between Peterborough, Crowland, and Spalding, on Friday.

On stopping the car at about 14:00 BST, they found 58 bottles of olive oil, 14 tins of tuna, 399 packs of chocolates, a large amount of coffee, cheese and chorizo, and cleaning products.

“We know people like to start stocking up for Christmas, but this is a tad extreme,” said a police spokesperson.
