Man v. Food host Adam Richman says entire crew of new show robbed in London: 'Completely cleaned out'

Adam Richman, the host of Man v. Food and several other popular food series on the Travel Channel, says the entire crew of his new series Adam Richman Eats Britain have been robbed.

He posted the details of the crime to X on Wednesday, writing, "We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out."

"All of the filming equipment is gone," he continued. "Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone. Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone. And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are."

Richman promised "to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions," as well as a "reward for anything found."

Reps for Richman and Discovery+ did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment.

The trained sushi chef and foodie did proceed to post live updates of the movements of his various items. He also shared the license plate of the "single suspect, wearing a gray hoodie" who was captured robbing Richman's van on CCTV.

By the end of the day, Richman put a stop to the stream of updates, writing, "EVERYONE! PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERSONALLY INTERVENE OR FIND MY ITEMS YOURSELVES! I DONT WANT ANY HARM TO COME TO ANYONE!"

He noted that London's Metropolitan Police asked him to cease the live update feed and let htem handle it. As of his most recent update on Thursday, his and crew's possessions have still not been returned. "I’ve informed the authorities, and now let’s leave it with them," he wrote.

Richman has been hosting and judging food-oriented series and competition series for Travel Channel and NBC since 2008, when he first starred in the popular series Man vs. Food. Earlier this year he premiered the first season of Adam Richman Eats Britain on Food Network UK and Discovery+, which sees Richman take on one classic British dish at a time, from Bakewell Pudding to Lancashire Hot Pot.

Any tips on Richman and his crew's stolen belongings can be reported to the Metropolitan Police.
