Robbery theft in Lidl: Perpetrator flees after scuffle!

An unknown perpetrator carrying a backpack tried to get past the checkout area, but this plan went terribly wrong. According to that Heath Courier an attentive employee responded promptly and confronted the man. Instead of submitting to the check, the perpetrator refused to look into his backpack, which led to a scuffle between him and the employee.
