And finally…self-deceiving check-out

A man in Northern Ireland has ended up in court after admitting to stealing apples from Tesco on almost a dozen occasions by scanning them through a self-service machine as carrots.

Aidan Martin Devlin, 53, told Newtownards Magistrates Court that he scanned apples as carrots on 11 occasions, and did the same with another fruit on a twelfth occasion.

The thefts took place at Tesco in Newtownbreda in June and July this year, the Belfast Telegraph reports.



The case was adjourned for four weeks to allow a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
