Fox caught out as school’s mystery milk thief in amazing video
The school staff had been left scratching their heads as milk deliveries mysteriously went missing for several weeks. Even after contacting their dairy supplier, who confirmed the delivery, the whereabouts of the milk remained a mystery.
In a bid to solve the case, the school’s office manager, Mrs. Scott, took matters into her own hands and began scouring the CCTV footage.
To her astonishment, she discovered the cunning fox in action. The footage shows the fox darting across the school playing fields and car park at 3:40 am on Wednesday, carrying ten cartons of milk in its mouth.
The school has embraced the unexpected visitor, and the Early Years pupils have affectionately named the fox “Gregory.”

The children have been captivated by the story of Gregory’s milk-stealing escapades. The school decided to share the comical footage on their Facebook page, which quickly gained thousands of views and sparked a wave of amusement among parents and social media users.
A school spokesperson said: “Initially, we believed that our milk order was not arriving at school, but after contacting the dairy, they confirmed that it had been delivered.
“The dairy provided us with extra milk to compensate for the disappearing cartons. With this in mind, our office manager, Mrs. Scott, decided to play detective and began monitoring our security cameras.”
The spokesperson continued: “After a little while, we saw Gregory the Fox carrying 10 cartons of milk across the car park, under the fence, and across our school field.
“The Early Years children have loved hearing the story of why they haven’t always had their milk over the last few weeks. They couldn’t wait to see the footage and show their parents and family, so we decided to share the video on our Facebook page, and we are overwhelmed by the response.”
The school’s Facebook post humorously speculated about Gregory’s motives, saying: “We can only assume that he was having friends over for breakfast and had run out of milk.”
The post received an outpouring of positive comments from parents with one saying: “Lots of pictures and stories from the children about their school fox. Lovely.”
Another added, “Clever fox,” while a third commenter said: “Ask him to make me a cup of tea.”
