London: Two British police officers have been arrested on suspicion of stealing candy from a sweetshop at their police station that operated on an honour system.
The two officers, who are free on bail, have been suspended and a number of other staff and officers have been removed from frontline duty while an investigation into the "significant stock loss" is carried out, police said on Friday.
The confectionary at Hailsham Police Station in southern England, Sussex, operates on an honour system and officers help themselves to candy and drinks before leaving money in a tin.
"The integrity of our staff is very important to us and when we identify problems such as this, we act swiftly and positively to resolve the issues," said Chief Inspector Tony Blaker.
