  Robbers steal 6 truckloads of chocolate in Britain
  

  
  

  LONDON (AP) - Robbers with their own trucks stole six trailer loads of chocolates worth more than $1 million Cdn from an industrial park in northeast England, police said Monday.

  
  

  Since the crime at the Great Bear Distribution Center in Skelmersdale in the early hours of Sunday, five of the trailers have been recovered: four of them empty and the fifth still containing its load of Easter eggs.

  
  

  "It was a very well-organized raid," said a spokeswoman for Lancashire Police. At least five men were involved, and they held two guards from the centre in a nearby field while their colleagues drove away with the haul.
