JOHNSON TOILET SCAM FOILED
An England footballer has been given an on-the-spot fine for stealing bathroom fittings.
England defender Glen Johnson, who plays for Portsmouth on loan from Chelsea, and Millwall striker Ben May were caught at B&Q in Dartford, Kent, on Wednesday.
The pair were spotted by a security guard putting a toilet seat into a box with a cheaper price tag before they reached the checkout, The Sun reported.
They also avoided paying for a set of taps by concealing them underneath a sink at the checkout, the newspaper said.
A worker at the store told The Sun: "We all recognised Johnson. No one could quite believe a bloke like him, with all that money, would be moronic enough to nick a toilet seat. But that's what him and May were doing.
"They were spotted by one of our security guards, a chap of 74, and cops arrived as they were trying to leave.
"They seemed to find the whole thing funny and couldn't stop smirking even after they had been arrested."
