Drunk thief stole primary school children’s pet chicken then posed for pictures with it before posting them on Facebook
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | February 26, 2013 18:27Anthony Campen, 29, kidnapped the chicken from a nearby primary school before dragging it to a houseparty where he posed with it before releasing it into the wild.
Police used the pictures to force Campen to admit his crime after he posted a number of photos on Facebook.
A court heard how Campen had carried the chicken to a houseparty in his rucksack before he posed for pictures with the startled bird.
The partygoer then fed the chicken party snacks before releasing it into a nearby field.
Pupils at the Bishops’ Church of England and Roman Catholic Primary School in Chelmsford, Essex, had believed their pet chicken, called Olympia, had escaped before they began to suspect foul play.
Campen was ordered to pay £130 compensation and £85 costs.
Unrepentant Campen later tweeted: ‘£235 for a f*cking chicken. Right, i’m off for a kfc!!’
A spokesman for Essex Police said: ‘Essex Police are pleased that Campen has admitted this offence and that he has been ordered to pay compensation.
