Gang leader Anthony Edgerton, was given a 44 month sentence, having pleaded guilty to charge of theft, handling stolen goods and driving while disqualified.

As they were led from the dock one of the defendants could be heard saying: "Does anyone want a biscuit?"

That's a lot of jammie dodgers. OCUK up for a wagon wheel heist? seriously though what was going through their mind to think lets rob jammie dodgers. Any ideas?

Well, that really takes the biscuit, doesn't it?

 

[Captain]

I bet they thought they'd dodge jail...

 

[FloppyPoppy]

I hope they are sitting there just like this

These guys are almost as funny as the pensioners of the hatton heist.

The hand of justice is firm, whatever you steal -- they're in a real jam now.

If I was going to have a trailer away, I'd make sure it was full of something other than Biscuits, razor blades would be my choice, small packets, relatively high price, an awful lot on a 52pallet load.....

Let's see if they can dodge getting jammed in the backside in the prison showers.

They fancied a sweeter deal, and it looks like they got it.

If you were to risk stealing 20k of something would you not try and steal something more portable than 20k worth of jaffa cakes? I mean WTF?

contents - including biscuits and other food stuffs - have not been found.

That's brilliant.

Shortly after the theft local councilor Paul Williams, a former employee at Burton's, said the theft was unprecedented, adding: “I can’t remember there being anything like it in 25 years."

Sigh, the reporter really had his fingers in a jar of something sticky. Looks like the councillor had a dodgy youth too.

Five run away together?

 

[gothic_hobbit]

The jammy gits thought they would get away with it

 

[datalol-jack]

Don't worry, they'll get a right baking in the slammer.

 

[Cosimo]

They'll have to put up with a lot of jammy dodging whilst inside...

In all seriousness. I suspect that they hoped that the sheer absurdity of the crime would get them a handful of suspended sentences at worst.

Really, it is like something out of a B&W Ealing Comedy!

Which one of them was Will Hay??
