Can you figure out who stole Mrs Archer's cake?

Question

During a recent police investigation, Chief Inspector Stone was interviewing five local villains to try and identify who stole Mrs Archer's cake from the mid-summers fayre. Below is a summary of their statements:

    Arnold:  it wasn't Edward
             it was Brian

    Brian:   it wasn't Charlie
             it wasn't Edward

    Charlie: it was Edward
             it wasn't Arnold

    Derek:   it was Charlie
             it was Brian

    Edward:  it was Derek
             it wasn't Arnold 

It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie. Can you determine who stole the cake?
