A Durban couple is on the “wanted list” for allegedly stealing from several service stations in the city.
A video of the couple cleaning out a shelf at a store on 10 July was shared on social media and according to TimesLIVE, this was one of many shoplifting incidents.
COUPLE WITH LONG FINGERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA
CCTV footage sourced from one of the stores shows the couple, who have hidden half their faces with masks, performing their usual shoplifting activity.
The woman can be seen stocking up on what appears to be medication, including Med-Lemon. As she puts the items inside her pants, the man pretends to be looking at other items on the opposite shelf. The woman does not stop until she’s emptied the contents of one of the shelves into her pants.
