Thieves stole 700 loaves of bread during a robbery involving an "object similar to a handgun" in Newport.
A bakery driver was delivering in Blackett Avenue, Malpas, in the early hours of Monday when three black men in dark clothing approached his van.
One man, believed to be carrying a weapon, demanded he give them the vehicle.
He got out and the men made off with the white Luton-sized transit van with the registration plate KP62 LPX.
Police said the delivery driver, 38, from Ebbw Vale, was uninjured but shaken.
BBC.CO.UK [wishes they actually thought it was a van full of 'dough' and ended up with 700 loafs of bread]
That raised a rye smile. Or have I spelt that wrong?
Why can't people just earn an honest crust?
did they leaven-y clues, or could they be gluten away with it?
No, 'spelt' correctly.
...it's not going to be an easy case to prove.
Tough on the driver, he'll just have to roll with it though
They were last seen heading yeast
I wonder who bank-roll ed the heist.
They'll make a bun-dle, I bet.
It's going to be a right pita to catch them
This type of robbery is on the rise. Problem with many robbers is that crime is ingrained in the family. Usually the main breadwinner kneads help as he or she just loafs around all year
D'oh!
Whichever way you slice it, it 'scone. I wonder what the raisin was?
Luton-sized transit van
Flatbread?
I bet the perps are holed up in a large farmhouse somewhere, or perhaps a cottage. Bet they already had the readies sliced up between them, but now that plans toast.
My naan lives round there. Not sure she saw a pizza the action though.
Not convinced I'm raising the bar here, but happy to be proved wrong.
Are they heading to Rye?
Apparently this won't be the last, the perps have Planned-a-Campagne.
At least they have the reg number of the van, thats a crumb of comfort at least.
Guess they kneaded a better lifestyle
Of course, you know what Cockney rhyming slang for money is, right?
Some got the plot mixed up I reckon. Dough!
