Joby Pool used a metal grinder to break into an industrial unit and drove off with the assorted chocolate goods.
A man has been jailed for 18 months after using a stolen lorry cab to make off with a trailer loaded with almost 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs.
The six months he has already spent in custody will count towards the nine months behind bars. The court heard Pool had used a tractor unit that had been stolen in the Yorkshire area in October to tow away the trailer, which was itself worth around £23,000, full of Cadbury products from an industrial unit belonging to SW Group Logistics in Stafford Park, Telford.
She said: "There were two significant losses in his life, then a third loss in terms of his relationship, and a fourth in terms of the loss of his business. There were difficult things he was dealing with and he turned to drugs and alcohol as a crutch, which made things much worse for him. "There was the taking of a tractor unit that was driven from Castleford down here to carry out the theft. There must have been inside information or a recce to identify the trailer and if it was worth taking.
In a series of tweets posted two days after the theft, West Mercia Police told how they "helped save Easter" after foiling the thief.
