West Yorkshire Police said the officer then "provided dishonest accounts when questioned about the matter".
The
policeman is facing a misconduct hearing for allegedly taking Jaffa Cakes worth
£1 from a police canteen charity tuck shop.
PC Chris
Dwyer is accused of pocketing two packets of Jaffa Cakes from the charity tuck
shop at Halifax police station "without leaving sufficient funds for
them".
A force
spokesman said a female officer had emptied the charity shop cash tin at around
10pm on 21 January and left a £1 float in change.
Half an
hour later, PC Dwyer allegedly took two packets of Jaffa Cakes, priced at 50p
each and did not leave any money.
A spokesman
said: "The cash tin was checked and it was found to contain the same
denominations of coins in the cash tin but with an extra two 5p coins.
"It
is alleged that PC Dwyer failed to make appropriate payment for the items and
provided dishonest accounts when questioned about the matter."
The
misconduct hearing is due to take place from 11 to 14 October.
