These aren’t the Cadbury Creme Eggs forced upon us in America. These are the REAL deal Cadbury Creme Eggs made with the world’s greatest chocolate.
Joby Pool, 32, was convicted of stealing 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs from a unit in Stafford Park in Telford, located in western England:
Opening the facts of the case on Tuesday, prosecutor Owen Beale told Kidderminster magistrates court: “I don’t know if you have seen the news recently – there was a load that was stolen and on the trailer was Cadbury’s products, a large number of Creme Eggs.”He said Pool, a self-employed ground worker, used a tractor unit that had been stolen in the Yorkshire area in October to tow away the trailer full of chocolate, which was then driven away, eventually reaching the northbound M42.Pool was spotted by police and “gave up at junction 11 and walked towards the police with his hands up. He was arrested and the load was recovered”.“This clearly wasn’t spur-of-the-moment offending, if I can put it like that, because he had taken with him a tractor unit and he had to know that the load was there in the first place,” said Beale.Magistrates were told Pool, from West Yorkshire, was previously convicted of theft, handling stolen goods and driving while disqualified in 2019.Beale said: “This is clearly an organised criminal matter. You don’t just happen to learn about a trailer with that kind of value being available.”
Pool faces two years and two months in jail.
Cadbury is the best chocolate in the world. We don’t get the real stuff in America thanks to Hershey’s. It’s true. Hershey’s got Cadbury banned from America. You have to buy it directly from the UK.
I fill half a suitcase with Cadbury treats whenever I return from London.
