A thief was arrested at Tescos, Drffield, on Monday February 18, after he was spotted nicking goods from the shelves.
A police spokeswoman said: “A known male was seen by security staff to enter Tesco’s supermarket several times during the day. Security suspected that he was stealing items from the store and watched.
“On one occasion he was seen with a carrier bag, going from aisle to aisle and filling it before attempting to leave the store with no offer of payment. When challenged by security he put some of the items back on the shelving before started arguing with the security staff.
“He then left the store with the bag and a bottle of cider which he hadn’t paid for. Moments later he came back without the carrier bag and continued to challenged and argue with the staff. Police were called and the male was arrested.”
