Aldi has confirmed that in certain stores where shoplifting is a 'local issue', the retailer has began checking customers' bags to ensure that they haven't stolen anything.
The revelation of the news has left certain Britons taking to social media to slam the successful supermarket chain - claiming that they are being made to feel like criminals.
