Remember Safeway in Ormskirk - and the prolific shoplifters who exploited the fact that a fire door led straight onto Aughton St.?
That security loophole's long gone now it's a Morrisons but QLocal reporter Roger Blaxall's learnt of a canny shoplifter who, when arrested many years ago, literally hadn't got a leg to stand on...
Shoplifting's a serious matter in Ormskirk like everywhere else but you might smile at this man who had a false leg and used it to his advantage in secreting three bottles of high value booze (Johnnie Walker, etc.) in it regularly before being rumbled.
A former security officer there revealed police would radio the store when he was spotted and sure enough his luck finally ran out.
He came clean - but again he didn't have a leg to stand on did he once his secret was revealed?
