A stolen Krispy Kreme van was recovered by police in Clearwater, Florida, still full of doughnuts — dozens of them!

The van had been reported stolen from a Krispy Kreme in Lake City, Florida, according to the Tampa Bay Times and was later found about 300 miles away in Crest Lake Park.

Upon the van's recovery, the store's manager opted to take a few doughnuts for themselves and released the rest to the police.

In a charitable move the police then shared the recovered doughnuts with the homeless.

The whereabouts of the doughnut thief and details regarding the theft have yet to be uncovered.
