"Stolen to order"? The hell does that mean?

I was gonna ask the same thing. British people once again showing they cannot even speak the language they invented.

Basically it is someone who "sells" cheap wares on wherever, and steals it to sell it when someone places an order. Usually on a platform like Telegram or similar.

So, basically, larceny with just-in-time characteristics?

I kept rereading the headline trying to figure out what it meant too. If it's some B*itish idiom I'm not aware of someone please enlighten me.

Like made to order. Stolen to order. Someone is paying someone else to steal it.
