A masked crook openly pinched NINE drinks from a branch of Greggs as staff watched on helplessly.
The thief raided the fridge of the High Street bakery.
He was seen swiping two £2.15 bottles of Lucozade Sport and five £2.20 Coca Colas, plus two others.

The brazen shoplifter then stashed them in his posh green, Waitrose bag-for-life.
A shocked customer filmed the crime on his mobile phone.
It happened in High Street, Norwood Junction, south London on Monday (Nov 11).
The onlooker said: “Nice and calm.
“Walk in Greggs.
“Fill up the whole bag.
“Look at this.
“Look at the staff, can’t do nothing.”
The hooded thief – also wearing a Covid-19-style mask – then made a hand gesture as he walked out.
Two workers could be seen standing behind the counter.
The stunned customer added: “Are you for f*cking real?
“The man clean out the whole…”
Locals slammed the theft which is part of a spate of shoplifting cases amid the cost-of-living crisis.
Calvin McDonald fumed: “Good thing I wasn’t there.
“I’d be telling matey boy to put every item back, and if I was generous, I’d consider letting them go on their way.
“Providing that they apologise to all the staff members there.
“Otherwise, they’ll be waiting for the old bill to come and cart them off.”
Matt Fitzpatrick joked: “The Meal Deal become the Meal Steal.”
Daniel Priestley quipped: “If you’re going to steal, why not go more upmarket and knock over a Waitrose?”
Another said: “Absolutely pathetic piece of s*it.”
A fourth added: “We live in a morally destitute country.”
Last month, a man stole two sandwiches from Greggs in Brighton before calmly walking out, as reported by Need To Know.
In April, another helped himself to handfuls of food at a branch in Archway, north London.
The Met Police and Greggs have been approached for comment.
