Severed deer head left on Tesco shop till
Tesco in Saffron Walden Tesco has apologised for any distress caused to the store’s customers
The severed head of a deer was left on a self-service supermarket checkout, prompting a police investigation.
The innards of the animal were found in one of the aisles of the Tesco shop in Saffron Walden, Essex, police said.
Officers were called to the shop in Radwinter Road at about 01:20 BST on 4 June.
A spokesman for Essex Police said nobody had been arrested. A spokeswoman for Tesco apologised for “any distress caused”.
Tesco said it was unable to state whether the head was left by one person or a group, how many people were in the store at the time or the circumstances in which it was left.
Nor was it able to confirm whether it had CCTV footage of the incident.
Police, who are treating the case as criminal damage, have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
Oh dear.
Surely someone would have noticed when the self service till kept saying “unexpected item in baggage area, unexpected item in baggage area.”
What a palaver, Why call the police? Just clean it up, keep calm and carry on.
Tescos is really hated in saffron walden no one likes them but theres nothing else around for miles unless you can afford to shop at waitrose and many people feel they’ve got some back handed deal going on with the council to stop sainsburys coming to the town so not surprised this has happened.
think that’s a standard supermarket tactic. Apparently The morrisons in my town has bought all the wasteland to stop the giant that is Tesco getting a site. how true it is I don’t know but they’re certainly not here
