A man has been convicted of stealing nearly 200,000 chocolate eggs, worth around $48,000, in what British police have dubbed an 'eggs-travagent theft.'

Joby Pool, 32, pleaded guilty in court on Tuesday to criminal damage and theft, West Mercia Police said in a statement.

Tens of thousands of Cadbury Creme Eggs — a cult British chocolate egg with a white and yellow soft fondant center — were stolen from a unit in Stafford Park in Telford, western England, on Saturday, according to police.Kidderminster Magistrates' Court was told on Tuesday that Pool used a metal grinder to break into the industrial unit, before driving off with the chocolate, PA Media news agency reported.

According to PA Media, prosecutor Owen Beale said: "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.Pool's solicitor John McMillan told the court: "He stopped the vehicle when he realized he was being followed. He realized that the game was up — he realized the police were behind him and pulled in when it was safe to do so.

"The eggs-travagent theft took place on Feb. 11 with the chocolate collection box thought to be worth around $48,000. Along with the crème eggs a number of other chocolate varieties were also stolen. "Shortly after the theft a vehicle, presumably purporting to be the Easter bunny, was stopped northbound on the M42 and a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft."
