Ornamental fish in a shopping centre pond that have been fattened up on sausage rolls and chips are at risk of being stolen.

The colourful carp, often kept as pets in indoor and outdoor freshwater ponds, have been feasting on shoppers’ leftovers since they were introduced to the basin of Princes Quay Shopping Centre, in Hull, when it opened in 1999

Anglers are attempting to catch the fish, believed to weigh more than 20lb each, according to Facebook posts seen by The Telegraph.

Shopping centre management said they are aware of illegal fishing in the basin and are in contact with Humberside Police.
