Happened in hornchurch boots store yesterday.

Police were called to reports of an ongoing commercial robbery at Boots on Hornchurch High Street. Officers attended within minutes and managed the scene. The suspects had already left the location and got away in a vehicle. Police conducted an area search, identifying and intercepting the vehicle in Southend Road less than 30 minutes later. Three men, one aged 37 and two aged 46, and two women, aged 32 and 41, were arrested for commercial robbery and remain in custody. All stolen items believed to be valued just under £10,000 were returned to the store. There were no reported injuries to staff or members of the public. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD5481/22JUL26.

Lawless country unless you get your two back wheels caught in a box junction, PCN through post in days.

@MyleneWort72567 Remember these bastards are gone with a Restore government. You can make the change happen using just a pencil at the next General Election. Or you can see these scenes get a LOT worse until the country is a third world shit hole

Sorry, but when there aren't ANY consequences for commiting crimes,then it's a free for all. This country becomes a bigger joke by the day. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@PoliceInspForum Doctors and care workers getting hands on training.

Oh boy are they in for a severe cautioning if caught 🙄

Until people change their voting habits this is never going away. We need a Govt tough on crime. We need to stop foreign criminals entering our country. We need mass deportations. No more woke, weak Governments. We need a no nonsense government who will stop this.

I mean. Robbing a Boots has to be the most tragic thing. "Rubber dinghy rapids" anyone?

Sadiq Khan’s London Ten years in Definitely deserving of that fourth term Or something

In Singapore they use rattan canes for scammers, maybe this might also be an option for brazen shop lifters @andyburnham ? Indeed I believe Britain, once had such measures in place to maintain public order. People are sick and tired of this, and so is business...

What the …Disgusting thieving b….rds! no security! No consequences, just take anything they want!

All I see here is our new doctors getting their supplies for a surgery

Not a single book was stolen.

Streets are surrendered - this is the result.

@MatthewBac60261 Shoplifting costs the UK £2.2 BILLION a year and a lot of that is past onto consumers by raising the price of good. There is no real deterrent if they are caught the will probably get a fine and will carry on shop lifting.

It's a pity Burnham didn't stand outside number 10:and say say he was brutally going to crack down on crime. It's almost as if they want it like this.

"As for the thief, male and female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise." (Quran, 5:38)

In Nottingham, you can't wear a mask anymore due to too many criminal offences. Well done Nottingham

Not very bright though are they, it’s a good job they didn’t wear a top easily recognizable 😂

Two cans of fluorescent spray paint (one in each hand) would mark them up nicely and could be directed at their faces if they turn towards you...

Ffs. Boots the chemist. And nobody thought to serve them a can of this.

Never in my life are any of my children working in a shop whilst the flood gates are open to the 3rd world. I use to work around Hornchurch covering all areas it's a no go area now. Moved away best decision i ever did

They know the police won't do anything , so it's just a free for all. This is going to get common place now . We will all be paying, as shops hike prices to cover the loss.

It’ll only lead to one thing, all shops will close and you will only be able buy online. This is what happens when wild animals invade and the old bill do nothing.

@UKLabour don't care

The retailer will sack any employee trying to prevent the theft..So, I ask, why doesn't everyone just do the same? Take what you want and walk out. I wonder how long that would last before things change....🤔

@FUDdaily There should be a law saying give them one warning & if they don’t stop & fuck off. they can be dealt with by shotgun 😁

Do you: 1) Leave and call 999 2) Stand next to them and film

When Boots requires armed guards, the UK has fallen.

@MatthewBac60261 What the hell has happened to this country? Feral rats!

The fact that they can do this without anyone saying a word or doing a thing makes it even easier the next time . No wonder they are so brazen!!!

The perfume isn’t high end , is isn’t worth getting caught & doing time for some Paco Rabanne & Ariana Grande 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm so done with this. Shut the fucking shops. Mail order EVERYTHING, or at least make every shop like Argos where nothing is on display and you get served via a little hatch. I'm not indirectly paying for these prick's free stuff. Fuck them
