Liverpool’s bacon thief: can you help?
We geniunely love the Echo’s weekly ‘Caught on Camera’ series, where grainy CCTV images of suspected criminals are paraded on a double page spread - basically a local version of Crimewatch, with inky fingers. It’s the ultimate in chest-beating yob-gawping, and sits nicely alongside the outraged headlines and eye-popping editorial at the beginning half of the paper every week.
Occasionally, there’ll be a crime so bizarre that it does a 180 and becomes borderline hilarious. This week, we were lavished with the usual: bus stop beatings (not funny!) muggings (not funny!) and a serial shoplifter. Which was funny.
You see, this shoplifter isn’t just any shoplifter. She’s slowly, Tesco by Tesco, carving herself a peculiar niche. This girl, y’see, is a bacon smuggler.
Caught on camera looking shifty, she lifted 24 (seriously, 24) packs of bacon from Tesco’s Mount Pleasant branch in October. “The items were stolen at around midnight on Saturday October 8 when a woman is alleged to have put them in a bag and simply walked out”, says the Echo.
If that wasn’t bizarre enough, she struck again on 21st October, nicking an addition 15 packs and walking out. Which makes her overall haul 39 packs. That’s a hell of a lot of bacon sarnies for breakfast, isn’t it?
If you recognise her, you can grass her up on 0151 777 4055, quoting ’271′. There’s also the anonymous Crimestoppers hotline on 0800 555111.
The last thing Liverpool needs right now is a bacon shortage, so do your bit.
I think she's just egging everyone on..plus her husband is a well known 'streaker'.
Don't tell the Pigs !
What a swine!
At least she wasn't looking for the sausage...
Still laughing

admufc81 on a slightly more serious note about your running app, can you change the automated message to include your virgin giving link?
DavidJBeattie not sure if you can me. Will check
admufc81 you should tweet the link after each update if you can't, get people sponsoring around pay day.
7streets What an offal thing to do :(
JohnMeddy You're rind about that!!! (right about that) (sorry)
7streets Amazing
7streets bacon in my corner shop is security tagged haha
7streets To be fair, meat is easily offloaded in pubs. Like the fish seller who used to come to the Mersey Clipper et al.
inniebear true. But we liked the fact that this one had a particular fixation on bacon.
7streets When I worked in Poundstretcher, we had one who would habitually steal OXO cubes. But never a full box. Just some out of each pack
inniebear Amazing. Surely that's more work than just getting off with a whole pack
7streets You'd think so, wouldn't you? This *was* Birkenhead, though...

Karl's bacon "mule"??!!!
lol
Long way to go for a leg of lamb (RB)
Still remember a few years ago the Echo had 'Leg of Lamb' man caught on front page I think. Caught stealing Lamb from Iceland.
Just been told bacon is currently currency for drugs....could be the reason why she's getting her fix of a bit of back...
Smoked? Unsmoked? The bacon that is. Oh hang on. Munchies. Crime solved. Do I win?
What an absolute (t)rotter! (weak, I know)
If you spot her before the Police do, give her my number
if she gets in with Worral Thompson I predict a whole new black market appearing....
I like your thinking. If anyone sees a woman down the pub in a billowing bacon dress, get Crimestoppers on the blower *immediately*.
trying to get enough to create a Lady Gaga knock-off?
