![Robert Jenrick has confronted an alleged shoplifter in a video posted on social media, telling him prices rise when people steal from shops.
Reform UK’s Treasury spokesman on Friday vowed to confront shoplifters, writing on X that “parts of the country are feral”, PA reported. In the video, filmed in Brixton, south London, Mr Jenrick approached a man carrying a Dr Pepper bottle, telling him: “I think you just nicked that, didn’t you?”
The man denied stealing the drink but handed the bottle to Jenrick, who asked: “Why do you think you’re above the law?”
The alleged thief replied: “Because they always give us drinks.”
Jenrick continued to challenge the man, asking him questions such as:
"Why do you think you don’t have to pay for things? The effect of what you’re doing is that everyone else’s food and drink just goes up in price, and do you think other people can afford that round here?
Everyone’s finding life tough at the moment. You’re nicking stuff, sounds like all the time, and [it] just makes everyone else’s lives more expensive."
The video ended with Jenrick taking the bottle to a bakery. He told the shop assistant it was stolen and put the Dr Pepper in a drinks fridge.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4a3qielmyzhsdlcal6mxbz5/bafkreicnlwaxzmnh7owo5srrbbymftvk7dmvswqmb4sobaty4vmr7zieei)
