I thought the police didn't usually do these pursuits in the UK due to the danger. I could understand if it was to prevent a greater crime or something, but otherwise they should surely just be taking the plate and trying to pick him up later.

In those programmes, they often show the cop on the radio to base getting permission for the pursuit, or to continue it when circumstances change, so clearly sometimes they are called off, they don't show that often, because it's not so entertaining. But, they often show high speed chases in built-up areas.

Clearly the weight of the package, and no doubt the weight printed on the package, gave no indication of the size of the product.
Clearly they should have set up a separate plastic packaging line for the mince pies for the clueless customer.
