They’re gonna fire everyone at that store.
England
Noting the vehicle license plates, what Eastern Europe country is that?
If “The Authorities” continue to do nothing, The People will ultimately Take Care Of Business.
Careful.... This may go to Bad Places in time.
There is still time if wise heads and rational, practical, honest thinking are used.
(Do I have a lot of Hope for that? Sadly, no.)
“Committees On Public Safety” lie directly ahead.
Guess who would be in trouble here!
Right on!
Someone needs to remind the guy with the dog that he’s 40 years older than he thinks he is, 50 lbs fatter, and 60 IQ points dumber for trying whatever it is he thinks he’s trying. “Focus on the safety of your poor dog, pub crawler!”
Slashing tires is actually pretty easy, so I'm told. Most sidewalls are only two ply and pretty flimsy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFxJsFOYPkQ
Flatten the tires. Cut off the valve stem
This is great, but those males almost all look like they have been sitting on a couch all their lives and never did anything athletic or violent, they seem so awkward and unnatural.
What’s a tescos?
How freaking awesome. Were those creeps trying that in a small town?
Since it is UK, the guy on the front right was the driver.
Carry something sharp to cut the tires. Great video!
Awesome video. Comments on X are hilarious. People are done with this crap
They stole 3,000 British Pounds of goods.
But their getaway was thwarted by a group of undercover investigators who were on their lunch break nearby.
The group, who investigate and prosecute thefts when the police donât have capacity to do so, were on a training day nearby, learning how to use handcuffs, when they took their lunch break - and the commotion began.

The gang of thieves, driving a black BMW, arrived at a branch of Tesco in Waltham Abbey, before walking in with a shopping trolley to allegedly steal a haul of high-value electrical goods.
Members of the group strode into the shop, filling their trolley with gadgets before trying to leave, a witness told LBC.
They only selected âhigh-valueâ items - understood to be electrical goods worth around ÂŁ3,000.

As they left, the group pushed a security guard and knocked over a pregnant woman, a source said.
But their getaway was thwarted by a group of undercover investigators who were on their lunch break nearby.
The group, who investigate and prosecute thefts when the police donât have capacity to do so, were on a training day nearby, learning how to use handcuffs, when they took their lunch break - and the commotion began.
The dramatic video shows the suspected thieves loading up their car before bundling inside, but the five undercover investigators rush over shouting âopen the car, open the car now.â

A passer-by lends a hand after spotting the commotion while walking in the car park with his dog.
A voice can be heard in the clip shouting: âWell done lads, well done lads.â
A security guard and Tesco worker then come over and try to open the carâs boot, with the thieves still wrestling with the investigators.
Eventually the group are dragged from the vehicle and police are called.

Police later arrived on the scene and arrested two of the men, aged 17 and 27, on suspicion of theft. They suspects had already been detained prior to officersâ arrival, Essex police said.
They have been released on conditional bail and have been banned from the Tesco store.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Blakesley said: âWeâre acutely aware of the impact theft has on our businesses and we work extremely hard, first and foremost, to respond to incidents when they happen and make arrests and, secondly, to ensure businesses are supported by our dedicated business crime team when they feel they would benefit from that independent advice.
âIn this case, officers from our community policing team arrived quickly to make arrests and we thank all members of the public who reported the incident to us.â
A spokesman for Tesco said: âWe are aware of an incident which occurred at our Waltham Abbey Superstore and we are assisting police with their inquiries.â
They say it’s a small town.
Check out the guy in gray at 1:45 if you want a chuckle.
this is what I would expect of real men.....
I’m a big believer in justice. If it won’t come from the authorities, it will come from the street.
