A man who stole £220.50 worth of Cadbury Creme eggs from a Peterborough fuel station has been banned from Cambridgeshire for three months.
A member of staff at a store in Dogsthorpe flagged down a police car after seeing a man packing chocolate eggs into a duffle bag, leaving the Tesco Express in Welland Road without paying.
It happened on Saturday 22nd March.
Police found he had concealed the stolen eggs in his jacket and the bag.
26-year-old Deon De Groot of no fixed address appeared at Peterborough Magistrates Court where he was also given 12 weeks in prison suspended for a year after admitting theft.
PC Guy Cunningham, who made the arrest, said:
“Thanks to the quick reaction by staff who flagged us down, we were able to catch De Groot red-handed and return the stolen items to the store.”
