A security guard told the client that he cannot stop the offender because “it is dangerous”. Then he tells the guard to “close the doors and ring the police.” The shepherd then left the store.

He was closed for six months because he stole from a Cooperation And a stop nine times, taking 1,000 pounds in food and drink.
