BBC Radio 4 - It's a Fair Cop, Series 1, 1. Theft

Policeman turned stand-up Alfie Moore with tales of theft from the coppering front line.

How would you deal with a thief?  Copper turned comic, Alfie Moore tries out some real life scenarios on an audience. From 2014.

Alfie Moore spent 18 years on the Humberside police force before turning to stand-up comedy. 

He swears his audience in and takes them through a real life scenario to see what sort of officers they'd have made. Along the way he tells tales from the coppering front line as well as instructing us on the niceties of British law as it applies to each scenario.

The audience must decide how they would have acted in the circumstances.

Written by Alfie Moore
