A dopey shoplifter stood out after stealing from a Tesco supermarket while wearing a hi-viz jacket.

He and an accomplice also wore their hoods up on their jumpers as they fled as the country basked in 30C heat.

The first crook had two big, white bags over his shoulders.

The second had one plus a black rucksack on his back.

He stopped to pick up some of his loot off the pavement as a security alarm went off in the background.

An onlooker sitting on a parked motorbike outside filmed the shoplifting raid on his mobile phone.

He said: “Oh my God.”

The eye-witness then added: “Shoplifting.”

A female store worker could be heard in the melee before the duo left.

Other customers watched on in shock as they shopped at the Tesco, in Mollison Way, Edgware, north west London.
