Two Liverpool men have been charged with stealing around £20,000 worth of biscuits from the makers of Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels.
Officers were called to Burton’s Foods Ltd in Cwmbran, South Wales, following an early-morning raid on the factory in June.
Detectives later launched an appeal for information, saying an articulated lorry full of cookies and biscuits had been driven away from the scene.
Now more than three months later, Gwent Police have confirmed three men have been charged and will appear before magistrates later this month.
A force spokesman said: “A 27-year-old man from the Cheshire area has been charged with three counts of theft, handling stolen goods and driving without insurance.
“A 36-year-old man from the Liverpool area has been charged with two counts of theft, handling stolen goods and taking and driving away.
“And a 35-year-old man from the Liverpool area has been charged with two counts of theft.”
Gwent Police did not name the men charged.
The three will appear at Newport Magistrates’ Court on September 29.
