Gang of biscuit thieves jailed for stealing £20,000 of Jammie Dodgers in Cwmbran 

Around £22,000 in Jammie Dodgers was stolen 

A gang of criminals has been jailed for a total of 11 years after they nicked £20,000 worth of Jammie Dodgers.

The five-man gang stole the biscuits from a factory in South Wales after tricking a security guard by pretending to be a DHL deliverymen.

They then swapped a stolen empty trailer for one that was full of biscuits.

Five men, Paul Price, 35, Keiron Price, 28, Aaron Walsh, 25, Stephen Burrows, 36, and Anthony Edgerton, 35, all pleaded guilty to biscuit theft.

Their sentences ranged from 12 months to 44 months.

Judge Jonathon Furness QC said: ‘A convoy of vehicles came down to Cwmbran and gained entry to Burtons biscuit factory.

‘There was a good quantity of biscuits taken.

‘There was a significant amount of planning with a series of thefts involving the cloning of number plates so it would not be known these vehicles were stolen.’

Price and Edgerton also pleaded guilty to stealing a trailer full of nearly 2,000 cases of Carling worth more than £43,000.  They denied taking a trailer from rival biscuit manufacturers factory at Uttoxeter in Stoke stating "Nobody eats their Shiiiiite arrrrrrrrrhhhhh!"

As he was sentenced, Edgerton told the judge ‘Sweet, thanks your honour, that’ll be lovely.’

The biscuits were never recovered.

If you're going to perform a £22k biscuit robbery at least target a decent biscuit that everyone loves like a Jaffa Cake, jeeez

Jaffa Cakes are cakes.

You're wrong. Jaffa's are a tax dodging biscuit. They are the Gary Barlow of the biscuit world.

Nah, completely a cake.

Gets hard when it goes stale, biscuits get soft.

Bread goes hard when stale, are you telling me bread is a cake as well?

No, but that's the difference between a cake and a biscuit. Legally anyway.
