A MAN has been captured on CCTV swiping milk from a driveway in Malvern.

In the video, captured on Ring Doorbell footage, the man seems not to notice the camera and can be seen approaching the house and grabbing the milk before making his way down the driveway.

 

Libby Sinclair, of Skyrrold Road, was alerted to the theft via a notification sent to her smartphone this morning.

She said: "My Ring Doorbell alerts me to any movement at the front of my house so I saw this happening, by the time I had got changed and come downstairs he had already disappeared down the road.

"After asking a few neighbours, he was apparently rooting around other front gardens so a lot of us will be on alert.

"I have had a lot of people on my road message me as well sharing similar issues."

Ms Sinclair gets her milk delivered by a local company, which leaves it on the doorstep ready for collection.

She said: "If I would have desperately needed that milk it would have been a more serious situation but it is really sad to see this sort of behaviour when people are struggling at the moment.

"I am a single parent myself so I know how the cost of living crisis is affecting everyone."
