Racial profiling: Black veteran’s Morrisons ban over shoplifting allegations

Mr Daniels, an RAF veteran in his 40s, said he was now “very uncomfortable” in supermarkets.

It was in February 2022, during the Covid pandemic, that he was followed around the Morrisons store in Rogerstone, Newport.

“I was wearing a surgical-style face mask – in compliance with store policy, with Welsh government legislation as well,” Mr Daniels said.

He intended to buy wine, and chocolate for his children – but said he became aware of staff following him.

“I knew straight away that they decided I was a thief,” he said.

“I thought, OK, well, if I carry on with what I’m doing, the staff will realise I’m not trying to steal – and they’ll leave me alone.”

He then picked up some crisps, and said he even held his shopping bag open to show he was not trying to hide anything.
