Story from Jam Press (Choc Security Boxes) Pictured: The chocolate bars in anti-shoplifting security boxes. Chocolate bars worth just ??1.25 put in anti-shoplifting security boxes in Tesco Chocolate bars worth as little as ??1.25 have been put in security boxes to prevent shoplifting in Tesco. Daily Milk, Galaxy and Milkybars have been locked away in the plastic containers. The boxes have stickers on them saying ???Ask the staff???. Customers cannot just take a bar off the shelves, supermarket workers have to get one for them. The cheapest chocolate in the boxes are Milkybars, as reported by NeedToKnow. They are ??1.25 for Tesco Clubcard holders or ??1.55 without. The Galaxy bars are ??1.35 and the Daily Milk are ??2 with a Clubcard or ??2.25 without. They were spotted at a Tesco store in Newham, east London - where there are 16 stores across the borough. Former cop Norman Brennan fumed: ???Tesco now put chocolate bars behind plastic security barriers. ???Shoplifting is so out-of-control that the cost of loss in the past year is two billion pounds.??? The ex-British Transport Police officer said: ???And it will go up and up and up.??? Local Stephanie Hayden said: ???Disgusting.??? Sharon Rae McGilvray joked: ???Funny how they haven't done it with fruit and veg.??? Luke Senior said: ???How long before shops are forced revert to the old style with shop assistants, human or robotic. ???Having to retrieve everything for customers like either Argos or a giant vending machine???? Duncan Gray said: ???At ??2 they should be locked in a vault in the basement.??? Another added: ???As a Londoner since birth, I can confirm that this place is going to the dumps.??? One said: ???This is a whole another level of low.??? It follows a rise in thefts from shops amid high inflation during the cost-of-living-crisis. Last month thefts were carried out at Greggs in Archway and a Boots in Chingford. Tesco has been approached for comment. ENDS
