Connecticut State Police are trying to track down a bold set of shoplifters who stole $1,600 in items from a grocery store as angry bystanders looked on, video shows.

The footage — shared thousands of times on Facebook — shows four masked suspects in dark clothing loading shopping carts packed with items like laundry detergent into two waiting cars outside Market 32 in Oxford early Tuesday.

“Look at all that,” one witness says in the clip as the thieves shamelessly stock up without paying. “That’s why prices go up, because of these a–holes … can’t get a job like the rest of us.”

But the unabashed thieves kept piling the stolen goods into an SUV and minivan before speeding out of the parking lot, knocking over a shopping cart in the process, the clip shows

Oxford is a pleasant small town, with a touchy zoning department. I think people were so flabbergasted they didn't know how to act.

Honestly, there’s a less than 100 percent chance the police would have showed up in time anyway.

I personally would not attempt to stop it. Why? To get prosecuted?

They would probably be arrested and sued. The govt protects criminals.

Everyone in the store should have loaded up and walked out.

That’s what will put a stop to “it”.

As hard as it is to say out loud because it doesn’t seem right, your life is not worth the grocery store’s stuff. I used to work in asset protection.

From the looks of it — the video wasn’t entirely clear — the license plates were covered or missing. Looked like they stole a lot of laundry detergent. That stuff is routinely peddled at flea markets and other non-regulated markets.

The Russians and Chinese are laughing at us.

In their countries, these scum would have been caught and, if they were lucky, put on the rockpile. If they were unlucky, they would have been executed.

Tackle them? Are you series? (1) Could get stabbed or shot or run over. (2) Could get arrested for assault yourself

They removed their license plates before driving up to the store. I find the whole thing confusing... they mostly took liquid laundry detergent.

Also, the sleazier owners of small independent markets and qwik-e-marts will buy obviously stolen goods to stock their own shelves.

Because if they hurt the thieves in the process they will be arrested, charged with a felony, go to prison, and be raped.

Laundry detergent is often used as currency in the ghetto.

Waterbury (a truly awful place) is a short drive down the Interstate.
