A Greggs store in London has padlocked its drinks cabinet apparently in a bid to beat the army of shoplifters targeting the high street food chain.

Staff have been on high alert with thieves circling the stores, famed for their sausage rolls, and grabbing items while they are serving other customers.

The brazen criminals are often out of the shop and out of sight before they can react.
