A pair of sticky-fingered thieves have been spotted wrestling with shop workers, before snatching three packs of Fanta.

The sweet-toothed shoplifters clashed with staff, who stopped them from leaving with stolen goods in their bag – but not before grabbing some fizzy pop.

The video shows two women in hoodies waging a tug of war with the supermarket workers.

While staff wrestled with the thieves over the bag, one let go and began helping herself to cans of pop.

The woman wearing a black coat and red bottoms grabbed three eight packs of Fanta – two orange and one lemon flavour.

She quickly fled the scene as her partner in crime kept on trying to get her bag back.

In the clip, the woman wrestling with staff can be heard saying: “Get off of me.

“Get off my bag, get off my bag, get off my bag.

“It’s got my personal sh*t in it.

“Get off.”

Members of the public were left shocked by the footage.

One person said: “Why on earth are you stealing an eight pack of Fanta which costs like £2.50?”
