Ontario provincial police are on the hunt for a cold-handed thief who stole hundreds of turkey pot pies from a church in Ingersoll.

Two hundred personal-sized pies, worth an estimated $1,000, were stolen from the freezer at St.James Anglican Church, according to police.

The theft is believed to have occurred in the past week or two, but church officials did not realize their freezer had been pilfered until Wednesday.

The investigation continues.
