Cadbury's £1.50 chocolates kept in security boxes leave shoppers bemused. The 120g bars on sale at a Co-op store in Cambridge were spotted in clear plastic boxes which require a member of staff to help purchase them. A stunned shopper has revealed how Cadbury's £1.50 chocolate bars and Easter eggs are the latest food items to be locked in plastic security boxes amid Britain's shoplifting crisis. The 120g confectionary bars on sale at a Co-op Food store in Cambridge were spotted in clear plastic boxes which require a member of staff to help purchase them. Student Jack Johnston, 21, who lives in the city, saw the chocolate bars at the weekend and was left 'completely bemused'. He told Yahoo UK: "We’ve seen security tags on butter, cheese, coffee and now Cadbury’s fruit and nut? Honestly, my first thought was, 'What stage of capitalism have we reached here? What issue is this meant to be solving?'" Johnston went into the shop to find a sweet treat to celebrate his university's end-of-term, and the £5.60 Cadbury's Creme Egg in a security case caught his eye. Johnston saw the chocolate bars shortly afterwards and posted a photo to X (formerly Twitter) with the caption "freaked out by the cruel co-op and their imprisoned confectionary section." He added: "I’m glad I wasn’t there for those chocolate bars, though, because I can’t think of anything more embarrassing than asking a store assistant to unlock a security case so you can access the Cadbury’s Caramel."
