Co-op locks up olive oil in bleak reminder of cost-of-living crisis

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

A branch of Co-op has placed its olive oil under lock and key following a number of thefts.

The bottles at the shop in Sprowston Road, Norwich, are displayed in security cases that can only be opened by staff on request.

The extreme measure was put in place after the store saw a significant rise in shoplifting.

The thefts reflect a UK-wide trend, where reported shoplifting incidents have risen by 27% across 10 of the country’s largest cities, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
