Joby Pool, aged 32, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for his involvement in the theft of nearly 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs. The incident occurred on February 11 when Pool used a metal grinder to break into an industrial unit located in Telford, Shropshire. He then fled the scene in a stolen lorry cab, hauling a trailer loaded with chocolate products valued at over £31,000.
