Early this morning, Slidell, La. police used a 15-mile trail of donuts to close in on two crack-smoking car thieves.

The stoned Hansel and Gretel apparently swiped a Krispy Kreme truck from a convenience store parking lot while the deliveryman carried donuts inside. As the ravenous crackheads sped away, however, hundreds of delicious pastries spilled out the back door, leaving a trail of glazed glory that any self-respecting officer could follow.

A Slidell police department spokesman reportedly said, “The officers would have gotten there sooner, but they had to keep stopping for milk.”
