A life-size cardboard cut-out of a policeman that was intended to deter theft at a Derbyshire supermarket has in fact been stolen itself. A man aged between 35 and 40 was caught on CCTV stealing the paper policeman as he left a Co-op store in Long Eaton. However, he did pay for his own shopping.Inspector Andy Picken said: "We were using the cut-out as a way of engaging more with the local community, so the theft is a bit disappointing. "But the project has not been hampered by this incident."
