Surprise, surprise - the Covid 19 travel restrictions don't seem to be making one jot of difference to shoplifters from Skem. with two arrested in Ormskirk yesterday after attempted thefts at the busy M&S Foodhall and Morrisons.
An alert checkout operator watched them enter M&S; one grabbed an armful of Easter eggs and the other - socially distancing himself perhaps - made straight for the booze aisle.
Both scarpered, running to Morrisons - but it was too late; security staff had been tipped off and both men were arrested red handed by Ormskirk police with three bottles of whisky.
