The 28-year-old, accompanied by other shoppers, chased the man down and confronted him.

Abdur helped workers retrieve the stolen items despite not working at the shop.
The 28-year-old said: “£1,000 shirts he robbed.
“You got caught stealing £1,000 worth of shirts, mate.
“Come on, you’re better than that uncle.”
While on the ground, the out-of-breath thief replied: “I took some shirts.
“I didn’t know what it was, I didn’t know what they were, I just took them.
“I took them.”
