18-month sentence for the man who stole 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs.

A man is imprisoned for stealing 200,000 Creme Eggs.

The stolen trailer was filled with thousands of eggs.

A man known as "the Easter bunny" who was accused of stealing 2,000 000 chocolate eggs received an 18-month prison sentence. According to CNN, the suspect, Joby Pool, went into an industrial building on February 11 and stole Cadbury Creme Eggs worth US $40,000 before making off with the loot in a stolen truck.

A criminal with a sweet taste who stole 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

On February 11, Joby Pool, 32, broke into an industrial building in Telford, Shropshire, using a metal grinder.

Before police could rush to the scene, he had already driven off with a variety of chocolate items valued more than £31,000.

Pool, of Dewsbury Road, Tingley, near Leeds, was given a year-and-a-half sentence by Judge Anthony Lowe at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Thursday, with half of that time serving a prison sentence and the other half serving a license.

He will be sentenced to nine months in prison after serving the first six already.

In Stafford Park, Telford, Pool had stolen a tractor unit from SW Group Logistics and used it to take away a trailer full of Creme Eggs.

The stolen chocolate was then taken onto the northbound M42, where, according to a prior court hearing, Pool subsequently turned himself in by approaching police "with his hands up" near junction 11.

Pool, who showed up in court on Thursday sporting a grey long-sleeved Adidas shirt, had earlier pleaded guilty to charges of stealing, criminal mischief to a trailer park lock, and driving without insurance.

In rebuttal, Debra White said that he had demonstrated "genuine regret" for what he had done.

"There were two major losses in his life, a third loss in his relationship, and a fourth loss in the loss of his business," she said.

He was coping with some challenging issues, and as a crutch, he turned to drugs and alcohol, which only made everything worse for him.

"He accepted complete responsibility." He doesn't feel sorry for himself; instead, he is sorry for the firm and his family because he knows he let them down.

They have been struggling to adjust as he has been away from them for about six months.

He is truly remorseful for the damage his involvement in this had on so many people, but the fact that he has been in detention for five and a half months already punishes him.

West Mercia Police posted the update on Twitter. They also used the term "eggs-travagent" in a series of tweets about the theft. A 32-year-old man was detained on suspicion of theft shortly after a car on the M42 northbound that appeared to be the Easter bunny was stopped, according to the police authorities.

Egg thief nabbed with milk chocolate!

The American news outlet claims that Cadbury, which is owned by Mondelez International, distributed 220 million Creme Eggs each year in Britain. The milk chocolate eggs are exclusively offered around Easter. They have a cult appeal in the UK and are filled with a fondant "yolk" that is yellow and white.

Judge Anthony Lowe will sentence the accused, Pool, to an 18-month prison term on July 20 at Shrewsbury Crown Court. According to the CNN news report, his earlier six months of imprisonment, with half of that time spent behind bars and the other half on license, would benefit his prison sentence. The fact that Pool has already pleaded guilty to charges of theft, criminal mischief, and uninsured driving is noteworthy.

According to the sources, the court determined that Pool had used a stolen tractor to haul the trailer containing the eggs away from the industrial unit. He halted the car when he realized he was being followed, according to his then-attorney John McMillan, who testified in court during a prior case. The client realized "that the game was up - he realized the police were behind him and pulled in when it was safe to do so," the attorney claimed. According to McMillan, the egg thief's attorney, "He wasn't giving any resistance and he was then arrested."
