KIMBERLEY – Visitors to the New Park shopping centre in the CBD were left shocked this afternoon at 17:00 when a man allegedly took off with a litre of Gordon’s Dry Gin from Checkers LiquorShop without paying for it.
Commotion followed as a horde people including trolley staff and security chased the alleged shoplifter dressed in a white windbreaker from the liquor store into the parking lot.
While many of the shoppers looked on in shock, some good Samaritans tried to catch the suspect as he tried to escape the parking lot.
His celebration was cut short as security caught up with him.
Dry and sober times are expected for the suspect.
