This is the shocking moment a woman allegedly stole £200 worth of pistachios from a local health store, with the shopkeeper blaming the viral Dubai-style chocolate trend for the 'unusual' spree.
Damian Tapper, 44, who owns the shop in Leeds, West Yorkshire, was left in disbelief after the woman reportedly emptied the entire shelf and walked out without paying.
CCTV footage captured the moment she stuffed her bag full of the pistachio nuts, with Mr Tapper reporting that the bizzare theft was not a one-off instance.
He said the problem has got so bad, he has had to completely redesigning his store to have lower shelves to increase visibility.
Mr Tapper said: 'We realised the whole shelf had been cleared, but only of pistachio nuts - often we do get professional shoplifters, but they'll just clear the whole shelf into their bag.
