Maybe there had been a burger-lary! Hungry police officers park on double-yellow lines as they pop into Tesco to buy lunch

Incident took place outside the Tesco Express in the town

Published: 20:04, 23 November 2014 | Updated: 08:22, 24 November 2014We can all be forgiven for craving a bite to eat from time-to-time at work.
But for two police officers the urge proved too much - as they were photographed parking their car on double-yellow lines before one nipped into a Tesco Express.
The pair were left red-faced when a member of the public snapped the officer returning to the vehicle armed with what appeared to be a pack of burgers from the store.
The incident took place outside the Tesco Express in Sutton Road, Seaford, last Saturday.
The anonymous resident who witnessed the scene told the Brighton Argus: 'I couldn't believe it. It wasn't as if the roads were empty and it was late at night – it was 2pm in the afternoon.
'I wonder what local businesses think of it when across the town people can no longer just pop into the shops or risk getting tickets?
'It seems like one rule for them and another for us.'
Chief Inspector Rob Leet, Lewes district policing commander, said the behaviour was 'unacceptable' and he would speak to the officers involved.
He said: 'We expect the highest personal and professional standards from our officers and staff in all of their activities and this has obviously fallen short of those expectations.'
