At a branch in southeast London, customers noticed these unexpected security measures on seemingly low-risk items. A Tesco employee commented to The Sun, “The tags probably cost more than the product they’re on. You’d be surprised at the things people try to shoplift.” This illustrates the severity of the issue, where even inexpensive household items are now targeted by thieves.
