Policemen stealing donuts is never a good look.

A police constable faces expulsion from his force for allegedly trying to buy a £9.95 box of Krispy Kreme donuts for 7p by sticking a barcode for carrots on them.

PC Simon Read faces a misconduct hearing over the alleged incident at Tesco Extra in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on February 10 this year.

He is accused of entering the store while in uniform and on duty and selecting a cardboard tray of 12 Krispy Kreme donuts priced at £9.95, with a barcode on.

The constable is said to have gone to the fruit and vegetable area and used the self-service scales to obtain a barcode sticker for carrots with a price of 7p.

PC Read stuck the carrot barcode on the donut tray and scanned it at a self-service checkout so that he was charged 7p for the donuts, it is claimed.
