Socks, tortilla wraps and DOZENS of bottles of booze: The bizarre haul recovered from 'shoplifters' on major road

This was the remarkable haul of booze, food and other items which police stumbled across after stopping a car in Tameside. Officers pulled over a silver Volkswagen Golf on Hyde Road, Denton, which was believed to be linked to shoplifting outside of Greater Manchester.

As they looked inside the car, police discovered a huge variety of items. Images shared by Greater Manchester Police show at least 14 packs of flatbreads and tortilla wraps were discovered in the haul, along with two tubes of Veet cream, two packs of socks and a number of Activia yoghurts.

Bin bags, mushy peas and a pack of Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal were also found, plus roll-on deodorant and a pack of underwear. But most of the items seized were bottles of alcohol.
