A supermarket boss has appeared on television recently to issue a warning to shoppers over a "worrying" trend that he has seen in his supermarkets amidst the cost of living crisis.
Richard Walker, Managing Director of Iceland, made an appearance on Good Morning Britain this week where he urged shoppers not to begin shoplifting or become aggressive in stores. The frozen supermarket's boss has said that a rise in shoplifting and aggressive incidents have been triggered by rising prices of food, reports The Mirror.
His warning comes as millions of households across Scotland are struggling to make ends meet after inflation reached 9.1% - a 40-year high. Grocery inflation has also reached 8.3% over the past four weeks to June 12 - the highest level since April 2009.
