Meat foils thief!

A meat thief in Gloucester met his match when a restaurant owner fought off the assault by hitting the thief with a frozen ham.

The owner heard a noise in his restaurant and saw a man fleeing with his arms full of meat from his freezer. That’s when the man raised a five pound log of frozen prosciutto over his head, to attack the owner.

Luckily, he had his own frozen pig product on hand and attacked the thief with a frozen ham - and the thief was so stunned, he dropped the meat and ran.

Police searched the area, but couldn’t find the suspect.
