York gin shop thief caught on camera

This is the moment a thief swiped three bottles of what he thought were gin after smashing a shop window.

The man was filmed smashing the glass display at York Gin, in the city centre, on 23 January and reaching inside for the drinks.

Those who work at the shop, on Pavement, said he must have missed the sign reading: "All display bottles contain water."

Police appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
