This is absolutely shocking - This is the moment a brazen thief steals two baby Hermann’s tortoises from a pet shop and stuffs them in their pockets.

This is the moment a brazen thief steals two baby Hermann’s tortoises from a pet shop and stuffs them in their pocketsCCTV footage shows the masked shoplifter, who was using crutches, opening the tank’s door and snatching the reptiles just as two shoppers appear in the aisle.

Now they are appealing for eyewitnesses or anyone with information on the theft – carried out last Thursday at 12.10pm – to come forward. Store manager Stephen Bradley told Metro.co.uk: ‘It’s quite a busy shop so they waited until there was no staff looking – they only needed a few seconds. ‘When you go through all of this day-to-day and you go to such lengths to make sure the animal is in the correct environment, and then someone just goes and takes one and presumably doesn’t have a set-up, it’s just that bit more worse.’
