THERE'S a very big cat on the prowl at Steam Mills, near Cinderford ... so big he is drinking 54 bottles of milk at a time.
The thefts at first mystified teachers at the village primary school. Now they are angry.
Because six times since Christmas the thief has stolen the school's supply of milk. Each time he has taken all 54 third-of-a-pint bottles of milk delivered in crates to the school.
The latest theft happened early on Monday morning. To try and stop the thefts the school and the milkman came up with a plan to padlock and chain the crates to a fence.
The milk was delivered at 3.15am and to make sure all was well the milkman returned to check the crates at 4am. The crates were safely padlocked but all the milk bottles had gone.
"It really is disgusting. A lot of people know what it is like to have the odd pint stolen but to take milk off primary school children is going too far," said a school spokesperson.
Now Review readers are being asked to join the hunt for this particular Forest fat cat taking the cream off the kids.
Someone, somewhere knows who the thief is. If you can help telephone the police or the school.
