The case of the policeman who went into a supermarket in Wisbech, weighed a carrot to get a barcode price label for 7p, stuck it into a large box of crispy cremes costing in excess of £10 and scanned/paid 7p.

OK, he was found guilty of gross misconduct and sacked.

If anyone of us or a member of the public had done the same thing, we would be charged with theft.

Why not the policeman????
