A resident’s photographs show that pairs of Galaxy Ripples, which costs £1.20 for two, and Chupa Chups, which cost 40p each, had been placed in the anti-theft devices at the Co-op in Green Street.
Co-op said the cases act as a deterrent and the decision to place confectionery items into the devices will have been taken by the local store as it is not a UK-wide policy.
