A man attempted to steal razor blades and legs of lamb from Asda as police officers were inside the store arresting a suspected thief.
Police were called to Asda on Kirkland Street in St Helens on Monday at around 6.30pm when a man was caught stealing "numerous items" from the supermarket. The 36-year-old, from Widnes, was detained by security and later arrested on suspicion of theft and making threats to kill.
As officers dealt with that suspected thief, a second man walked into the store and attempted to steal a large quantity of razor blades and several legs of lamb.
