A CALLOUS cop who stole from a father minutes after he passed away was branded "disgraceful" as a sheriff spared him jail.
Constable Alan Sneddon swiped electronics worth £2700 from John Green's home after he died of a heart attack.
Sneddon, 46, had been called to investigate the 58-year-old's sudden death but Paisley Sheriff Court heard he stole a phone and iPad and took them home with him.
The brazen officer, who has 28 years' service, is believed to have used the phone over the next days, and had it with him during two shifts on duty.
Sheriff Simon Fraser spared him jail, placing him on a community payback order in which he will be supervised by social workers for 18 months and made to carry out 140 hours of unpaid work.
