Supermarkets are putting security tags on toilet roll a Britain's shoplifting epidemic continues to spiral out of control.
Tags were seen on toilet rolls in a Tesco Express store in Bromley and Beckenham, south London, where the shoplifting rate is one of the highest in the country.
The tags are placed on the plastic wrapping of Andrex rolls, which cost £3.75 for four.
A customer who bought the rolls said: 'We only realised the tags were on there when we left the store and the alarms went off, which was quite embarrassing.
