A thief posing as a disabled woman has been caught red-handed after getting out of her wheelchair to snatch food.

In scenes reminiscent of Little Britain’s Andy and Lou comedy sketch, a man is seen pushing a woman around a shop in a disability chair.

CCTV footage shows the duo stop as the woman points at the items she desires.

She then stands up and walks around unaided while stuffing packaged meat into her rucksack.

Her accomplice is also captured loading the woman’s bag with food items.

Anyone with information can contact 101 or the anonymous charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
