CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK

FOR EATING THE EVIDENCE...

If you’ve ever helped yourself to food from a skip, you’re likely to have had a few close calls with security goons. What you’ve probably not experienced is police arriving at your home, threatening entry with a battering ram if you don’t let them in, arresting you in handcuffs for ‘theft by finding’, and raiding your home.

This is what happened to Sasha Hall, a shop worker from Essex, who is due to stand trial later this month. Her local Tesco had left £3000 worth of food to go to waste on the street after a power cut, so she helped herself to waffles, ham and pies.

So, not only was she busted as aggressively as as a suspected murderer, her last meal was really crap too.
