A foul-mouthed shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal jam, eggs and toilet roll from a Co-op by hiding her loot in a secret skirt.
The crook was caught by staff and they were staggered by how much was in the flap under her clothes.
She pulled out a jar of Bonne Maman preserve costing £3.80.

Next came three boxes of six eggs worth £1.55 each.
But the woman also had a £4.75 pack of nine loo rolls in there too, amongst other items.
But she took offence to being caught and told the supermarket worker: “I’m giving you back.
“You don’t f*cking touch me.”
The male staff member said: “Hurry up.”
The crook then added: “Fcking asehole.”
It happened at the Co-op on Earl’s Court Road, Earl’s Court, west London, yesterday (30 Dec) at 2pm, as reported on Need To aKnow.
One onlooker said: “The woman had been moving through the aisles in an unremarkable manner.
“Selecting items that included toilet rolls, eggs and jam.
“Nothing appeared unusual until a fellow customer noticed that the woman’s skirt seemed to be bulging and shifting unnaturally as she walked.”
She was stopped near the door.
One Londoner – called Kerry – said: “They all do it.”
Another added: “Jail time.”
The Met Police and Co-op have been approached for comment.
