LONDON (AP) — A person who prosecutors mentioned broke right into a U.Okay. industrial park to steal nearly 200,000 chocolate Easter eggs has pleaded responsible to theft and prison injury.
Prosecutors mentioned Tuesday that Joby Pool, 32, used a metallic grinder to interrupt via a gate at an industrial park in Telford, central England, on Saturday, then used a stolen semi truck to tow away a trailer loaded with Cadbury Creme Eggs and different chocolate items value greater than 31,000 kilos ($38,000).
West Mercia Police tweeted Monday that shortly after the break-in, officers stopped a automobile “presumably purporting to be the Easter bunny” on a freeway and arrested a person on suspicion of theft.
Prosecutor Owen Beale mentioned Pool gave up when he realized police had been after him.
Pool “walked in the direction of the police together with his palms up. He was arrested and the load was recovered,” Beale mentioned.
He added that Pool had deliberate the theft and that he had earlier convictions for dealing with stolen items.
Pool entered responsible pleas to theft of a trailer, theft of its contents and prison injury to a series lock. He’s anticipated to be sentenced subsequent month.
