Eggciting crimes
The heist of 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania has become a whodunit that police have yet to crack. Four days after the theft that law enforcement say could be tied to the sky-high cost of eggs, no leads have come in. “We’re relying on leads from people from the community. So we’re hoping that somebody knows something, and they’ll call us and give us some tips,” she said. Police are also following up with any possible witnesses and looking into surveillance footage that could help them identify the perpetrator as they race to solve the mystery. Bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing U.S. egg prices to more than double their cost in the summer of 2023. It appears there may be no relief in sight with Easter approaching. The average price per dozen large eggs locally is over $6. The Agriculture Department predicts egg prices are going to soar another 20% this year. The stolen eggs are worth about $40,000, which means this crime is a felony, Deputy Frazer said.
While in England
Joby Pool, 32, was dubbed “the Easter Bunny” by English police while they scrambled to protect and maintain one of England’s best known legacies. Everyone in England knew that Easter had been ruined because some evil, conniving criminal had stolen the Easter eggs. Not the eggs from chickens or ducks, even worse the Chocolate Cadbury crème eggs wrapped on colorful foil for the drooling mouths of millions of Britons. Needless to say both the police and the media took this assault and insult on British tradition very seriously. Police knew the “Bunny killer” had used a hand grinder to cut the lock on the candy company parking lot and then hijacked an entire tractor-trailer combination filled with those little packs of rich, chocolatey pleasure.
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. He was arrested and the entire load was recovered.” “This clearly wasn’t spur-of-the-moment offending, if I can put it like that, because he had brought a tractor unit and he had to know that the load was there in the first place,” said police. Pool had a record and the prosecutor said, “This is clearly an organized criminal matter. You don’t just happen to learn about a trailer with that kind of value being available.”
The defense attorney offered: “The Easter Bunny stopped the vehicle when he realized he was being followed.” Police described the incident as an “eggs-travagent theft” of a “chocolate collection box.” The Police said they had “helped save Easter for Creme Egg fans.” Joby Pool is facing two years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to stealing nearly 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs worth over $37,000.
