Boy, 10, smuggles out restaurant sugar packets Shawshank Redemption-style in hollowed-out BREADSTICK
The boy's ingenious scheme was foiled by his dad before he could scoff the sugar
SOME kids will stop at nothing to get their hands on sugar - as this dad found out when he discovered his son sneaking packets of the stuff out of a restaurant concealed inside a BREADSTICK.
Peter Hartlaub caught his ten-year-old son red-handed as he attempted to smuggle five packets of sugar in buried inside the piece of bread.
Mr Hartlaub likened his son's actions to the film Shawshank Redeption, in which main character Andy Dufresne conceals a hammer inside a Bible, later using it to pick away at his prison cell wall and escape through the hole.
Amused punters were quick to supply their own Shawshank jokes and puns, much to to the delight of Mr Hartlaub himself.
The boy's parents had taken to checking his pockets for the sugar, but the youngster soon found a way around this, hatching his ingenious plan.
Mr Hurtlaub even attested that as it was a family event involving some 60 guests, his son could have had inside help with his scheme.
