A senior police officer has admitted that Universal Credit is forcing people to steal in order to eat. According to The Grimbsy Telegraph, Superintendent Ed Cook of Humberside Police stated:

We think some of the shoplifting is people stealing to eat and just to live.

And the only reason Cook believes the problem isn’t worse is because an increased numbers of officers are “working with stores”.
