A traffic warden has been suspended after he was caught using a bogus ticket to allow him to park illegally, it has been reported.
The unnamed warden has been removed from duty by bosses at Derby City Council after he was spotted parking in a restricted zone in the city he normally patrols.
The warden was seen by a reporter from the Derby Evening Telegraph newspaper parking illegally then putting a ticket on his car to make it look as if the vehicle had already been dealt with.
The newspaper claim they were alerted to the scam in Sacheverel Street - a strict no-parking zone - by a reader who challenged the warden about it.
The reader claimed the warden, who was wearing full uniform, admitted putting a fake ticket on "so I can park here" and boasting that he was flouting the rules.
Derby City Council have reportedly launched an inquiry into the allegations, but have refused to name him.
They insisted that he should be protected as a member of the council's staff.
Looks like they're all at it, police and wardens.
