Video: Thieves caught red handed stealing £250 of food in Leamington

Dashcam footage shows the suspects, a man and a woman, driving away from Sainsbury’s in Leamington.

Officers on patrol received a call about the pair after they walked out of the shop with hundreds of pounds worth of meat as well as fruit and vegetables.

Video shows the officers weaving in and out of traffic as they pursued the car as it left the Leamington Shopping Park in the town on December 20.

As the officers drew level with the silver Renault at a roundabout, one of the cops leapt out and ordered the suspects to surrender.

A search revealed around £250 worth of meat and groceries stashed in the boot of the car.

The arrests was carried out by Warwickshire Police’s Investigation Standards and Outcomes Team.

Earlier in the day officers chased another thief who stole £300 worth of food from a supermarket but they got away.
