Did the donuts make her go nuts?

An Australian woman who allegedly stole a delivery van filled with 10,000 Krispy Kreme donuts was arrested after evading police for two weeks.

A Sydney resident, whose name was not released, was nabbed at St. Mary’s Railway Station in the city, according to 9 News.

She was charged with driving a conveyance without the consent of the owner, driving a motor vehicle while disqualified, and traveling or attempting to travel without a valid ticket.

The donut thief was taken to Penrith Local Court Thursday and was denied bail.

The sticky-fingered bandit was initially spotted on Nov. 29 lingering near the vehicle at a gas station in Carlingford — near Sydney — before she hopped into the van and drove off.

It is unknown if she knew the contents of the van, which was eventually found abandoned about a week later alongside thousands of spoiled sweets.

Krispy Kreme filed a police report, according to BBC, and informed customers they would replace the delicacies.

“Police are currently searching for the van and the sweet-toothed thief. It’s believed she jumped into the van as the driver was inside the service station,” Krispy Kreme said in a statement at the time.
