One other stated: “Now, if I even thought about doing what he did, I’d be up in court and face eight years in prison before I could munch my pie.”

Another added: “Ask yourself about the price rises.”

The Met Police and Greggs have been approached for comment.

It follows a spate of shoplifting amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Last Monday, a crook stole nine drinks from Greggs in Norwood Junction, south London.
