On Sunday the 31st of October 2010, at just past 9am in the morning, our webcam was running to ensure that items on the stand were not being tampered with, and also to act as a security system in case anything were to happen. What we saw a few moments later is what you see in this video, a pair of shoplifters, just waltzed onto our stand and walked of with items from our shop. To make matters worse, these were PRESS, with full PRESS passes. Thanks to the Expo Security, ExCeL Security, the Police and the Expo organisers for sorting this out in such a short space of time.
DDR:UK – Shoplifters caught on camera, London MCM Expo – October 2010
On September - 24 - 2011
well done.
i admit to not liking the DDR:UK team that much, but i still think this is quite heinos and bad, these people abused their press pass and the trust of the MCM staff and im glad theyve suffered the concequences
glad you got them…. i hate thieves they piss me off it happens a lot on the stalls i work on but i do one wose if i cach one i will beat the shit out of them if i cach one… i will jump over the table and grab them as they try to run and give them the beating of a life… then hand them to securty as i get along really well with them
@LarxeneOrgXII Well, considering the police were involved, I’m sure word would have gotten back to their employers, since they’re with the press. Chances are they’ll be banned from Expo, and/or fired for this.
They where escorted from the sight? Where they punished in anyway shape or form? Or was the item just retrieved and a gentle slap on the wrist. Doesn’t sound like much of a detterent to me. There’s so many people at expo it’d be easy to get back in again. Thats not meant in a nasty way Mist, it just seems like people can get away with anything these days.
That was pretty awesome, you said they claimed they thought it was free you can CLEARLY see them checking to see if anyones coming or looking when they take it
name and shame!
Glad you caught ‘em
I don’t get how some people can be so low.
It gives the rest of us press a bad name!
Very disappointed.
You did a good job though guys! Well done.
respect!
