A City recruiter specialising in procurement, among other disciplines, has been sentenced to 180 hours community service and to pay £250 for stealing up to £450 in groceries by scanning his items as “loose onions” at a self-service checkout in Sainsbury’s.
Nicholas Long was found guilty of using the scheme 20 times over three months to save money on his groceries. His run came to an end when a security guard spotted Long scanning every item as “loose onions” – even though the item wasn’t available at that London outlet.
