A brazen man was all smiles as he walked out of Greggs after stealing chicken nuggets.
The crook – wearing a bright purple hoodie – scooped up the two, £4.10 boxes of Southern Fried Goujons.
He then calmly walked out of the branch of the High Street bakery.

One fellow customer clocked what he was doing and filmed him in the act.
But the thief just smirked at him as he strolled out and gave a peace sign.
Staff were nowhere to be seen, and the man strolled off down Holloway Road, Islington, north London, without a care in the world.
The eight-second video then comes to an end.
It happened yesterday (13 Oct) morning.
The witness told NeedToKnow: “It was so cheeky.
“He just came in, stole two boxes of chicken dippers, then walked out.
“He didn’t have a care in the world.”
One local, Roseanne Stokes, said: “No way.”
Tony added: “Easy peasy.”
A third said: “Oh well, Greggs can afford it.”
It follows a nationwide spate of thefts from Greggs in the last two years.
The chain has taken measures – like moving food behind the counters – to prevent it.
In July, a sticky-fingered thief was banned from every Greggs in the UK after undercover cops caught him red-handed in Wood Green, north London.
Greggs and the Met Police have been approached for comment.
