On February 11, 32-year-old Joby Pool stole £31,000 ($40,000) worth of Cadbury Creme Eggs
, after
breaking into
an industrial unit and
making off with
the
haul
in a stolen truck, the PA Media
news agency
reported.  

据 PA 媒体报道，2月11日，32岁的乔比 · 普尔(Joby Pool)偷走了价值3.1万英镑(约合4万美元)的吉百利奶油巧克力蛋，此前他闯入一家工业企业，用一辆偷来的卡车偷走了这批货物。

The milk chocolate eggs, filled with a “yolk” of yellow and white fondant, have a cult following
in the UK and are
exclusively
sold around the Easter period.  

牛奶巧克力蛋，充满了黄色和白色软糖的“蛋黄”，在英国备受喜爱，只在复活节前后出售。
Cadbury, which is owned by US food company Mondelez International, told CNN it sells 220 million Creme Eggs in Britain every year.  

美国食品公司 Mondelez International 旗下的吉百利(Cadbury)告诉 CNN，它每年在英国销售2.2亿个奶油鸡蛋。
According to PA, Pool was jailed by Judge Anthony Lowe for a year and a half at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Thursday. Half of that is to be spent in prison and the other half
on license
, with his previous six months
in custody
counting toward his time
behind bars
.  

据 PA 报道，普尔于周四在什鲁斯伯里刑事法庭被法官安东尼 · 洛(Anthony Lowe)判处一年半监禁。其中一半将在监狱中度过，另一半将假释度过，他之前六个月的监禁时间将计入他在监狱中度过的时间。
Pool had previously
pleaded guilty to theft
, criminal damage and driving without insurance.  

普尔此前曾承认犯有盗窃罪、刑事损害罪和无保险驾驶罪。

In an earlier
court hearing
, Pool’s then-
solicitor
John McMillan told the court: “He stopped the vehicle when he realized he was being followed. He realized that the game was
up
– he realized the police were behind him and
pulled in
when it was safe to do so.”  

在早些时候的法庭听证会上，Pool 当时的律师 John McMillan 告诉法庭: “当他意识到自己被跟踪时，他停下了车。他意识到游戏结束了——他意识到警察就在他身后，在安全的时候停了下来。”
McMillan added: “He wasn’t offering any
resistance
and he was then arrested.”  

麦克米兰补充说: “他没有提供任何反抗，然后他就被逮捕了。”
Tweeting
after the arrest, West Mercia Police said they had “helped save Easter for Creme Egg fans” calling the incident an “eggs-
travagent
theft.”  

西麦西亚警方在逮捕后发推文称，他们“帮助奶油蛋粉丝拯救了复活节”，称这一事件为“偷窃彩蛋的行为”
