This is the shocking moment a man was seen brazenly stealing from a Greggs Bakery in broad daylight.
The man was seen carrying a giant carrier bag in the Greggs on Fore Street in Edmonton, London, last Wednesday.
Footage taken by an onlooker shows the shoplifter bent over and stealing drinks from a cabinet in the store. He appears to be carrying a huge plastic carrier bag which is stashed full to the brim with goods from the bakery.
A female staff member, who is on the phone to police, attempts to hold onto the man by his jacket to stop him from escaping with the stolen goods.
But the male pushes her and shouts ‘Get off! Get off me!’ before starting to run away. As the woman tries to keep the shoplifter from fleeing, a crowd of people can be seen standing outside the chain watching the outrageous incident.
Another person in the crowd can be heard jokingly saying: ‘This guy’s gone!’.
The thief then aggressively pushes the Greggs staff member by the neck and finally runs away from the shop with his stolen items.
The video, which has since clocked up over 250,000 views online, has divided users on social media, with some even defending the thief.
Kadiee-anne said: ‘If he’s stealing food I don’t see a problem, people are going hungry in this country’, while and another person commented: ‘Stealing food like that means he’s hungry and desperate probably he needs to feed his family. He didn’t hurt the woman’.
Roberto de James said: ‘People do irrational things in times of need and if he feels he has to rob a shop then that’s his doing. Why does it bother you?’
However one user supported the Greggs staff member, saying: ‘All these w**kers standing around filming and not doing anything is just a sorry indictment of our useless society. Well done to the shop worker for trying. What’s wrong with people’.
A user named Alex also commended the woman, saying: ‘How about people go get a job and don’t go robbing other people who are probably getting paid fk all.’
