A worker has been sacked after an investigation into stock being sold on internet auction site eBay.

Darren Turner, boss of Cartridge World, based in Rawtenstall and Accrington, took the action after police gave a 27-year-old employee an adult caution.

Police said the employee, from Haslingden, had stolen 81 Epson printer cartridges worth £1,500 from the Whalley Road store in Accrington between August 16 and October 10 this year.

Officers said that the worker was suspected to have been selling on the stolen goods on Ebay.
