A French teenager has been jailed after buying a PlayStation 4 for under £8 by weighing it as if the games console was a huge bag of fruit.
The 19-year-old man, named in the French media as Adel, picked the device off the shelf and took it to the fruit section and weighed it.
He then put a sticker with the heavily reduced price tag on the expensive console and went to the checkout.
Adel paid £7.86 (€9) for the 6lb bag of 'fruit' at a self-checkout at a supermarket in Montbeliard, eastern France, last September.

Judge: Was the PlayStation made by Apple?
Prosecutor: No.
Judge: Verdict is Guilty.

Reminds of a variation on the joke.
Judge: why did you steal the expensive violin?
Youth: I took it for a lark.
Judge: Obviously no resemblance. Guilty as charged.
