Shoppers baffled after Tesco put security cases on £1.10 Milkybar and Aero chocolate bars to stop thieves

SHOPPERS have been left baffled after Tesco put their chocolate bars in security cases.

Hilarious footage of one confused punter shows rows of treats – including Milkybars and Aeros – secured in perspex cases at one store in Bristol.

The footage shared by Newsflare captures the moment the man, Thom, goes for a midday treat only to find all his favourite chocolate locked away.

He said: “I went into Tesco on Park Street, Bristol and all of the large chocolate bars were being housed in perspex security boxes.

“It was funny because almost everything else around them was of higher value but had no security.

“I actually asked the guy at the till and he didn’t know why they were boxed.”

It’s not the first time Tesco has had to put everyday items in security boxes.

LOCKED UP

Last year we told how shoppers were stunned to spot Fruit ‘n Fibre cereal on sale in multiple stores across the country for a staggering £7 – so pricey some boxes even had security tags.

Oli Headley, 32, was in his local Tesco on Whitecross Road in Herefords last year when he spotted the locked up cereal.

Oli, who runs his own business, said: “A friend of mine works in the store and he was stood there staring at it in disbelief.

“He ran it through the till and it actually came up as £7.

“I don’t know how it’s happened. It’s strange. Other people have seen the same thing so it must be quite nationwide.

“It’s not just local to me, it’s quite a nationwide c**k up I would think.

“Tesco did reply to my message saying they don’t have it on their system that they sell the 500g box which is a bit strange.

“It is a bit odd. It almost makes me tempted to go back and buy one.”

Tesco has been contacted for comment.
