A woman was stopped by a sharp-eyed shop security guard who spotted her trying to snatch frozen food in a pregnant belly.
The guard tussled with the shopper outside a branch of Iceland.
A video showed him stopping the woman making off with over 20lb of items after she hid them under her skirt at the store in Bethnal Green, London.

The quick-thinking security guard detained and recovered the stolen goods.
At the end of the video, he can be seen collecting the items and putting them in a bag before smiling broadly at the camera.
Viewers were impressed by the guard, as reported by Need To Know.
One person said: “Well done security guard, someone with balls and pride in his work.”
Someone else said: “Well done and God bless that security guard.”
While a third person said: “The security guard is so chuffed with himself, as he should be.
“That grin at the end.”
But others were more concerned.
One person said: “He needs to be careful, touching her is assault.”
And someone else added: “Hopefully he doesn’t get any human rights lawsuits.”
