Giltbrook M&S worker trying to stop shop theft hit by e-bike

PC Luke Cutts said: “Having spotted an apparent shop theft in progress, staff went to confront a suspect at the exit.

“Rather than stop, the individual instead rode an e-bike directly into and over the staff member, causing minor injuries as a result.

“That use of violence and aggression meant that, when we located a suspect, he was arrested for robbery – as opposed to shop theft.

“It really should go without saying but nobody should ever be subjected to something like this when they’re just trying to do their job.

“This type of behaviour will never be viewed as anything other than completely unacceptable, so we’re pleased to have made this arrest.”
