Three men have been charged with the theft of £20,000 worth of biscuits from a company that makes Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels.

A trailer was taken from Burton's Food Ltd, on Ty Coch Way, Cwmbran, Torfaen, on 17 June.

The three men, from Liverpool and Cheshire, face theft charges, while two face counts of handling stolen goods.

They were all bailed and will appear at Newport Magistrates Court on 29 September.

Gwent Police said a 27-year-old Cheshire man faces three counts of theft, handling stolen goods and driving without insurance.

A 36-year-old man from Liverpool is charged with two counts of theft, handling stolen goods, and taking and driving away.

Another Liverpool man, 35, is charged with two counts of theft.

Detectives put out an appeal after an early-morning raid, saying an articulated lorry full of cookies and biscuits had been driven away from the scene.
