Sarah Chen enters a Tesco Express and picks up a bottle of wine (£6.50) from the shelf. Instead of placing it in her basket, she puts it directly into her tote bag. She continues shopping, pays for a meal deal at the self-checkout, and walks toward the exit. A store detective stops her. The wine has not been scanned or paid for.

Sarah was shopping at her local Tesco Express after work. CCTV captured the full incident.
