Police are on the hunt for men who made off from a Cotswolds supermarket with a car full of… mayonnaise.
The two men stole countless jars of the popular egg-based condiment from a Co-op in Gloucestershire on March 17.
News soon spread of their dastardly deeds and store staff contacted the police.
One man left with a basket full of mayonnnaise bottles, thought to be Hellmann’s, while another bundled jars into a trolley.
The pair then stashed their precious condiment cargo in the boot of a black Ford Focus, with the registration YE58 FKJ.
They were captured on CCTV driving away from the scene.
Police officers have shared images of the two thieves in a bid to get to the bottom of the crime.
One man wore a black top with white stripes down the arm and carried a basket of mayonnaise jars.
His accomplice wore a bright orange top and made off from the Co-op with a trolley full of mayonnaise jars.
Investigating officers say they have conducted numerous enquiries into the black Ford Focus, but have yet to identify its owner.
A spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary said: ‘Officers are asking anyone who witnessed this incident, recognise the men from the images or saw them in the area at the time, to get in touch.
‘You can contact police by completing the online form and quoting incident number 270 of 17 March.’
