Security tags added to tins of babyfood in supermarket

Shoppers have spotted security tags attached to tins of baby food in a branch of Tesco. The security measures were seen at a North Wales supermarket this week.

Earlier this year, a supermarket worker told the Guardian: "We used to get shoplifters stealing high-value things to sell on, which is not uncommon. Now it’s people stealing everyday things, doing their weekly shop and trying to walk out without paying.

"Baby milk has never been security tagged but now it is, so people can’t steal it. It was something that never would happen before but people are quite desperate.
