The hooded crook was spotted acting suspiciously in one of the aisles.
He was then seen putting seven jars of instant coffee in his bag.

The shoplifter then swiped four bottles of wine before walking out of the supermarket.
Stunned customers and workers watched on.
One of them filmed the brazen theft from the Co-op in Woodgrange Road, Forest Gate, east London.
The 23-second clip then comes to an end.
One witness told Need To Know: “The brazen shoplifter was captured on film stealing an estimated £100 worth of coffee.
“It has sparked fresh concerns about retail crime and staff safety.
“The theft unfolded in broad daylight and was filmed by a member of the public who noticed the man’s behaviour and began recording as the situation escalated.
“The footage shows the suspect moving swiftly through the aisles, repeatedly grabbing jars of branded coffee and stuffing them into a large bag with little attempt at discretion.
“The shoplifter appeared unconcerned about being seen.
“Rather than acting furtively, he aggressively filled his bag, moving with speed and confidence as though he expected no challenge.
“Shoppers nearby reportedly looked on in disbelief as the man continued loading up items.”
The onlooker added: “After targeting the coffee aisle, the suspect made his way to the wine section.
“Where he was seen selecting multiple bottles of red wine.
“Notably, the bottles still had visible security tags attached when he placed them into his bag, further highlighting the audacity of the theft.
“Despite the scale of the shoplifting and the suspect’s open behaviour, no members of staff intervened.
“The man then calmly walked out of the store, unchallenged, with the stolen goods.”
It happened on 15 December but the video has only just come to light.
The Met Police and Co-op have been approached for comment.
