Sweet-toothed 'Bonnie and Clyde' couple steal 135 bars of chocolate during shoplifting spree

A sweet toothed couple dubbed “Bonnie and Clyde” have stolen 135 bars of chocolate during a shoplifting spree.

The sticky-fingered love birds were nicked by cops after their car triggered an ANPR licence plate alert.

The husband and wife duo had a haul of stolen goods on them with 135 chocolate bars found in the motor.

The stolen items included 59 bars of Galaxy, 39 Cadbury Dairy Milk’s, 27 boxes of Ferrero Rocher, 6 Cadbury Whole Nut bars and 4 Toblerones.

The sticky-fingered bandits didn’t stop there with seven boxes of Fairy washing tablets, three laughing Cow cheeses and a trio of Philadelphia cream cheese tubs found as well.

Officers also uncovered a bunch of stolen pot noodles and assorted items of clothing – alongside a de-tagging device.

Cambridgeshire Police pulled the car over at Lowerfields Leisure Park, Huntingdon.

The shockingly-sweet haul was taken into evidence on 23 October, as reported by Need To Know.

Cops believe that the duo from Birmingham had been on a country wide shoplifting spree.

The pair were arrested and charged with carrying out thefts from a shop in King’s Lynn, Norfolk.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police stated: “Before you ask, no this isn’t us getting ready for the upcoming festive season.

“This is just part of the haul our neighbourhood officers found in a car that triggered our ANPR system as being linked to suspected shoplifters travelling through the county.

“The husband-and-wife duo were arrested and charged with shop thefts from stores in Norfolk.”

Members of the public were left in stitches by the haul.

Rob Palmer said: “Looks like there wasn’t a bounty hunter.”
