These include £3.95 Colgate toothpaste and dried salt fish costing just £4.20.

Coconut milk hair conditioner – priced at £5.20 – is also tagged to thwart shoplifters.

One customer told Need To Know: “You have to slide them across to get access to the products.

“It’s a way of stopping shoplifters quickly bulking the items and stealing them.

“It slows them down.

“But for customers it’s a nightmare because they are hard to slide along to get access, especially for older people.”

It was spotted yesterday at Tesco, Central Square, Wembley, west London yesterday (12 Jan).

“They will still walk out the door with a full bag and the staff will stand back and watch them.”

Tommy added: “They spending more money on securing the product, and on the actual product.”
