A married couple used stolen Tesco stamps to splurge £48,000 on shopping sprees and gift cards.
The pair used the discount stamps to buy gift vouchers for sites including Amazon and Halfords, even purchasing Visa E cards to go towards a holiday to Corfu, Manchester Evening News reports.
Steven Plummer, from Bury, was employed at disposal company Weeshred when he realised that the supermarket giant had been throwing away cards with saver stamps stuck on.
