This gull has a taste for irony as the 'brazen' bird was caught on CCTV shoplifting from Heron Foods - reportedly swiping 18 packets of crisps in a series of raids before moving onto flapjacks. The cheeky bird was captured on CCTV strolling into a Heron Foods branch, snatching a large pack of Ready Salted crisps and hurrying out while being chased by a member of staff.
The feathered shoplifter - now known by staff as Stephen - sauntered into the shop and helped himself to a salty snack for the third time that day - meaning the greedy gull got through 18 packets of crisps in one day. Footage shows the bold bird confidently entering the shop and heading straight for the display of crisps.
He then tries to pluck out a multipack of crisps from the shop display. After one failed attempt, Stephen the seagull manages to free a large pack of Ready Salted and make a dash for the door just as member of staff Maria spots him and gives chase.
