A bizarre range of items are being sold in security cases at Tesco stores in north Manchester in an attempt to stop thieves.
The supermarket's branches in Middleton and Blackley have resorted to using the plastic boxes - normally reserved for its most expensive products - for items such as £3 fake eyelashes £1.50 protein bars, and £5 anti-wrinkle cream.
Shopper Mark Baxendale recently shared an image of shelves filled with protein bars individually locked away at Tesco Extra in Middleton town centre. In a tweet, he joked: "I am not saying Middleton Tesco’s is rough but the protein bars are in security boxes."
