Sweet Tooth



Man who stole £220 worth of Creme Eggs banned from entire county

A man who stole over £200 worth of Cadbury’s Creme Eggs from a Peterborough fuel station has been banned from Cambridgeshire for three months.

Police arrested 26-year-old Deon De Groot after he entered a Tesco Express in Welland Road, Dogsthorpe, at about 11.40am on Saturday (22 March). He was seen packing the chocolate eggs into a duffle bag.

He stashed away £220.50 worth of Cadbury Creme Eggs and left the store without paying, weeks ahead of Easter, said Cambridgeshire Constabulary.


By gum - some people must have a sweet tooth, although from the sound of it this guy isn't necessarily a fan and maybe has other problems apart from turbocharged dental decay. 

It's decades since I tried one of the horrible things and don't intend to repeat the experience. I don't dislike sweet things, but there are limits and Creme Eggs are well over it.

Expect Starmer to ban them in 3, 2, 1...

Amazing that you can be banned from entering Cambridgeshire for stealing sweeties, yet they won't ban you from the country for rape or drug dealing. This bloke needs a human rights lawyer.

Sam - yes it is amazing. Also amazing that the two tiers can be so blatant.

Amazing to me that people like Cadbury cream eggs.

Tammly - yes it is amazing, from what I remember there is no taste but sugary goo.
