Dunk and disorderly! Police officers report theft of BISCUITS and a pint of skimmed milk from their stations

A tin of biscuits and a pint of milk were both reported stolen from police stations as officers repeatedly filed crime reports for their own missing possessions.
Other items which were supposedly stolen from police stations in Devon and Cornwall included make-up, phone chargers, a torch and £2 in cash.
Police filed the bizarre reports at the same time as being called to deal with around 100 genuine thefts a day.

Theft: Police filed a crime report when a tin of biscuits went missing from Heavitree station in Exeter, pictured

Officers at the Heavitree police station in Exeter reported in February 2012 that a tin of biscuits had been stolen from the premises.
In another incident that year, police claimed that a pint of skimmed milk had been stolen from a station.

 

Precise details of the alleged theft are unclear, but it is thought that officers suspected a colleague of taking the milk without asking.
The bottle apparently had a set of initials written on its lid in an attempt to deter thieves - but without success.
The crime is officially classified as unsolved.
