Watch shock moment brazen thief rifles through Asda delivery van parked on street and walks off with bag of groceries
THIS is the moment a man brazenly stole groceries from an Asda van while the driver made a delivery.
Shocking video shows the man rooting through crates of food in lawless London before packing them into an Asda bag-for-life.
It’s thought he went on the cheeky free shopping spree while the van was parked on Pepper Street in Millharbour – just a quarter of a mile from the supermarket chain’s Isle of Dog store.
The astonishing clip begins with the man, dressed in a dark green hoody, riflying through the back of the van as his scooter lays on the ground.
He uses a pole to search the crates pushed to the back of the van, calmly picking and choosing from the groceries inside.
Once his bag-for-life is full, he cooly pulls down the shutter at the back of the van – just as the driver appears after making a delivery.

The man attempts to leave with his bag of shopping and a suitcase as the driver asks “what are you doing?”.
The thief tells him “don’t touch me, don’t touch me” as he attempts to pick up his scooter.
However, he decides to leave it and walks away repeating “don’t touch me” as astonished witnesses watch on.
