Brazen thief is caught on CCTV stuffing 18 bottles of Moet down his trousers and inside jacket

Incredible CCTV footage captured at a Denner store in St Gallen, Switzerland shows the moment a thief stuffed 18 bottles of Moet in his trousers and jackets and got away with the daring steal.

In the footage, a man is seen filling his trolley with alcohol, he then stands in an area where he believes he cannot be seen before proceeding to place the expensive bottles inside his jacket & down his trousers.

He proceeds to make a swift exit from the supermarket with his haul well concealed. The supermarket owner only noticed the theft later in the day when he looked over the security cameras.

He decided to post the footage to Facebook saying: 'I was angry, disappointed and mad.'

The video was later taken down however after police warned the shopkeeper that the suspect could demand legal action against him for a breach of privacy should he be caught.

Local police spokesman Gian Andrea Rezzoli said: 'The person being filmed would be able to demand that he be prosecuted. We advised the manager to remove the video from Facebook, and he did that a day later.'

The storekeeper has filed a complaint against the suspect and he hopes to recover his losses soon.
