Summary
- Specialist equipment and stock valued at £2,000 were stolen.
- The theft has halted market sales for the award-winning business.

The Urban Dairy, a renowned cheese maker in Northamptonshire, has suffered a significant blow due to a theft that occurred between Sunday, July 5, and Monday, July 6, 2026. Essential business equipment, including a van, two deep-fat fryers, weighing scales, and cash tins, were stolen from their Daventry location. This incident has had a substantial impact on the business's operations.
Director Gary Bradshaw reported that the stolen items and stock are valued at £2,000. The loss of this equipment, coupled with the van, prevents the business from participating in its usual market stalls, a crucial part of their income. The theft has resulted in a loss of approximately a week and a half's worth of earnings.
Northamptonshire Police are investigating the incident, which took place on Alvis Way. They are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward, quoting incident number 26000395787. The business is aiming to resume market activities by the weekend.
