Pool allegedly used a metal grinder to break through a gate and into the truck, according to the AP.."Along with the crème eggs, a number of other chocolate varieties were also stolen."
In all, the seized chocolate is thought to be worth 40,000 British pounds, or slightly more than $48,000. Pool entered guilty pleas to theft of a trailer, theft of its contents and damage to a chain lock, the AP reported. He is expected to be sentenced next month.
